How many calories do you burn on an elliptical trainer machine?

Answer 1

It depends on a variety of factors, including your age, weight, current fitness level, how high the resistance on the elliptical machine is set, how fast you are going... Just never trust what the machine tells you... they always over estimate.

Answer 2

From gym expierence you burn between 700 and 900 calories if you are being realistic. After 1 hour it tends to slow down as you are more tired and so dont put in as much effort. so for 2 hours it would be between 1300 -1500 roughly.

Answer 3

There are many different factors that can determine how many calories you have burned during a 30 minute period on the elliptical machine. For example, age, metabolic rate, and weight are all important factors that determine how many calories you have burned. To find this, your elliptical machine should have a program that tracks your calories burned.

Answer 4

Depends on how many you want to burn and how hard you go at it. You can burn maybe 450-600 in one hour if you get well sweaty and winded. Or you can pootle along doing a lot less if you don't put the effort in.

Answer 5

Using an elliptical only will not get you very far. To see results, mix in the elliptical, (along with other cardio), healthy eating, and strength training (VERY IMPORTANT!).
