Elliptical trainer: what’s the difference between light, moderate and vigorous effort?
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?

Most “Good” elliptical would have a chart placed on it somewhere that will tell you what your exercise moderation is. It depends on your age, weight and heart rate. (By the rate which you’ree indicating I would imagine you’r in your twenties.)
That is a vigorus work out if that’s the case. Congrats on your work out!!!!
