Secondly, an elliptical machine burns about 750 calories per hour.

To lose 1 pound you have to burn about 3500 calories. So that means that if you want to lose 1 pound in a weeks time without changing your eating habits of all you have to spend about five hours on an elliptical machine.

When I was actively losing weight, I have found that by reducing my calorie intake to about 1400 calories per day, working out on an elliptical trainer machine 15 minutes per day, and walking one hour per day resulted in a weight loss of about 2 1/2 pounds per week for me. That means I lost 10 pounds per month. That was a lot of weight to lose in a short time and I was very happy to do it.
