It is true that you can use the momentum from the eliptical to your advantage, but you do get a good workout from it. it is also a lot easier on your joints. take it from a person who has horrible knees- it is a lot easier on your joints then a high impact activity like running. i used an eliptical 4-5 days a week for a month for about 30-45 minutes a day and saw a drastic improvement in my cardiovascular fitness. the eliptical will burn calories, so it is up to you to cut your intake of calories back to promote weight loss. good luck!!

Elliptical machines imo are not good at all. Its too easy to cheat with them using their momentum. You naturally do it without even thinking. Stairclimbing or just regular running/ walking is better.

You can tone up just jump ropping for ten minutes a day it equalls out to the same as running for 30 min a day. you dont have to buy a expensive thing.. you can get in shape just byyourself with real motivation and consistancy.. good luck
