I’m currently alternating between forwards and backwards motion on an elliptical trainer every 5 minutes, so it’s half and half. Is that good or bad? Should I be doing less backwards? Is it even worth it?

Stukish asked:


I have a Life Fitness 9500HR elliptical trainer and the pulse monitor no longer works. Do you know how to fix it and where I can get the parts? The panel just reads “0″ but it also knows when I let go because it tells me to “HOLD ON”.

I really want to do this myself, if possible.

Shika asked:


Will a workout on the elliptical get me sweating and tired like a good workout should? Where will it reduce fat? Does it help to eliminate the fat on my abdominal region? I’m deciding whether I should buy one and I’m very nervous that being an athlete, it won’t give a good intense workout to help eliminate the fat that I need to lose in order to perform at the height of my potential. Any good information about elliptical machines will be greatly appreciated.

Marie K asked:


I have the option of buying a 10yr old Life Fitness 9500 front drive unit elliptical from a resale supplier (bought it off of a gym or college). I am unsure how long these commercial ellipticals typically last, so I don’t know if buying a 10yr old elliptical is a wise decision. Help!

If I went to the gym every other day and stayed on the elliptical trainer for an hour would that help me to look thinner and toned?

I am a vegetarian, 18 and 130 pounds if that makes a difference.

Thanks!
Oh and I’m 5’8 too

kim.san asked:


I will be using it at home. I have a stationary bike, but I don’t use it that often. When I do, I feel like I’m not working out that much because I’m sitting. I was thinking of selling it and buying my friend’s elliptical trainer because it is more of a work out, but I just hope I don’t get burned out on it. I am a beginner when it comes to exercising and I don’t want to over do it right now.
I only have room in my small house for one. Which do you think is the best choice?

hermotsura asked:


I mean, I work out a few times a week for at least an hour and every time I keep my heart rate at about 160-166, which is in the 80th percent of my target heart rate. It’s quite a workout, but then again, is this moderate or vigorous? If I push myself more, it’s unhealthy, then how do people work out vigorously? What is the definition anyway?
