How many calories does Elliptical Trainer burn?
Working out on an elliptical at a moderate pace is a joint-friendly cardio with steady energy burn.
On an elliptical the feet never leave the pedals, so impact stays low, while the resistance level on the machine sets the figure directly. Pushing with the handles brings more muscle mass into the movement.
