I am buying an elliptical machine of some sort and was interested in the livestrong brand I saw at Dick’s sporting goods. Just wondering if that’s a piece of crap or good enough to last a long while. It’s about $1000. Any suggestions on brands of ellipticals that are good? I don’t care about the fancy heart monitors and crap like that.

Are elliptical machines way different compared to regular running?
Monday, January 18th, 2010I have been working out often on the elliptical machine. I can easily do an hour without stopping, but recently I switched to running. I can’t run 1/2 mile without stopping. Is running that different? I thought I was in pretty good shape but I guess not in a runner’s sort of shape.

How does one transform a circular motion into an elliptical motion?
Saturday, January 2nd, 2010I want to design a stationary exercise bike, which implies circular rotational motion of the pedals around a fixed point, but that can, with the press of a button, transform into an elliptical training machine, that has an elliptical rotational motion around a fixed point, often far away from the actual pedals. Is this possible, engineering-wise? I can imagine displacing the rotational point of the cycling machine, so that it would still describe a circular motion.

How Often are you supposed to use elliptical training machine?
Friday, January 1st, 2010How often are you supposed to work out your upperbody and your lower body. The reason I am asking is because I work out my upper body every other day, and my lower body every other day, but I use the Elliptical Training machine every day. I think since I use it monday-friday and dont give my legs any time to rest is hurting more than helping because I can barely bend my legs they are so sore.

Interval training on elliptical machine?
Saturday, December 19th, 2009I do 30 minutes of interval training on the elliptical machine. I go really hard for 50 seconds and rest slow down for about 120 seconds. I just started this week and the workout is kicking my butt, especially going full speed. I like this better than a steady workout, plus time goes by faster. Is interval training better at burning calories than a normal workout?
