Idk if that's how you spell it.. but my question is.. If you do the elyptical machines everyday, will your body become thin? Or will I gain muscle & have big legs? What if you take in less calories daily.. & do the elypticals every day. Also, what heart rate should you be at if you want to lose weight? I go really fast & my heart rate is usually 175...
thanks in advance

Ellipticals are great machines. High cardio workout, low impact on joints. Cardio is the best for losing weight.
Heart rate is determined by your age and weight and general fitness level. The machines usually have it printed on them. If not, search for target heart rate online and it will give you the calculations.
I'm not really sure what you mean as far as taking in less calories daily. Of course your body needs approx 2,000 calories a day --varying by person, gender, and exercise level, but weight loss is dermined by a simple formula--
take in more calories than you burn each day- gain weight
burn more calories than you take in each day- lose weight
Elliptical machines are great cardio but if you are trying to build muscle, you need to do strength training in addition.
