Elliptical Trainer Machines

The number of calories that you burn with an elliptical trainer machine depends on your body, how you use the machine and how you go about your workout routine.

Here are some overall numbers for comparison. The activities are listed from the most boring at the top to the most fun at the bottom.

Elliptical Machine - 790 calories per hour

Jogging - 600 calories per hour

Wogging - 520 calories per hour

Biking - 360 calories per hour

Walking - 260 calories per hour

Vigorous Sex - 66 calories per one half hour

The numbers are estimates only. The resistance setting will affect how much you burn. Your body makeup affects how much you burn. The harder you work, the more you burn.

The numbers here give you something to work with.

To burn off 1 pound of fat you have to burn off 3500 calories. So in round numbers, you have to use an elliptical machine for about 5 hours.

So to lose one pound a week, you have to use the elliptical machine 5 hours per week.

One pound a week on a consistent basis is a lot of weight. It is 52 pounds a year. And it is a safe way to lose weight.

If you cut your food intake back 500 calories per day, you lose another pound per week. Now you are up to 104 pounds per year.

Walk an hour per day, and you add another 25 pounds per year for a total of 129 pounds per year.

The elliptical machine burns the most calories the fastest and does a lot for your body and overall health. Making one part of your daily life is a step in the right direction.
