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.

An eliptical walker will help you to lose weight, but there is nothing in the world you can do to direct where on your body the fat is reduced from.
Don't let anyone ever tell you otherwise, it is simply not true.
If you are trying to lose weight, just understand that the weight will come off the same way it went on. For instance, doing situps and crunches will not cause you to lose fat in your abdominal area.
But exercise can help you to build muscle in specific areas.
To get a good machine will cost you a pretty penny, I mean over $1,000.00. If the one you are looking at isn't that expenisve it probably means it isn't the same quality that you would see in a gym.
Rather than spend all that money, you should just join a local gym and sample all kinds of workout machinery.
I belong to a Gold's gym and routinely use three or four different kinds of machinery in my cardio workouts - all for about $40.00 a month.
Hope this helps...

Elliptical machines, like any other training device, has it's pros and cons. For a highly fit athlete, they may be lacking, OK for short term substitute work or indoor work if you can't do anything else. For the average out of shape public, they're fine and do a good job. Any exercise is better than no exercise. Yes, elliptical trainers, as any other device or exercise, burns fat all over the body. There is no such thing as spot loss of fat except surgery.

Well, I go on the Elliptical machine for about 20 minutes everytime I go to the gym. It really gets me sweaty and I think it's a great work-out. Thee are little lights on the machine which show which muscles you're working, and they are all leg muslces. But this isn't to say that your abdominal area won't be trimmed down also. You're still moving around and doing cardio, so it will affect your abs also. If I were you, I would ask the salesperson about the details of the machine and what you want out of it, before you buy one. Hopefully, he can help you out! Good luck! :o)

I've tried many diets and couldn't make anything work. Since having my first child, I've been carrying around an extra 30 pounds. This diet just made sense and showed me that everything I was doing before was wrong and a waste of my time.
The plan was so refreshing and so simple to follow. I did everything plan said and lost 23 pounds in the first three weeks. I'm now starting the diet again to lose 7 more pounds. This plan has changed my life.
Get started today!

Music makes you eat more. According to a survey by the journal Psychology and also Marketing, soft, classical tunes encourage someone to take time over your supper, so you consume more meal. So, switch off – silence can make you more aware of what you’re adding your mouth.

It’s Friday brunch time and you just can’t stop going back with regard to seconds. But hang on! Stop for just a minute and suck on a supplementary strong mint. The flavour will put you off that 3 rd plate of chicken korma/roast beef/sushi medley.

Swap a bowl of pasta for just a bowl of vegetables. You can save up to 200 calories by lowering the starch and adding vegetables.
