What's the consensus on the Eliptical machine?

[MenacingMonk]

I recently came up on a manual one. Used it twice already and worked up a nice sweat.

I usually try to jog, but I have a bad knee. How is the machine compared to jogging? Decent for fat loss?

If it gives you a sweat and doesn't stress your knee keep at it. Who gaf what we think

I'm just interested in how it compares to jogging. The pros and cons of it

On a side note, I got this tredmill to go.

I thought I had to junk it cause it would stop at times. But all I have to do is keep a steady pace jogging/walking.

Hopefully it can last for, at least, 6-12 months. It's old and cheap.

You identified it actually. It allows you to workout with little impact on your knee.

As far as fat loss. Almost any physical activity can assist with that. It just depends on your goals.

I prefer just walking, but never saw a problem with the eliptical. It looks silly but it gets you active without harming your joints

I did 45 minutes the other day. Just listen to my music and motivate myself with internal speaking.

I broke down the sessions tho. I don't think I can do it straight up.

I also do 45 minutes nonstop while watching TV. Still boring.

I can see that POV. Me, I don't think of it like that.

It is boring but much better for your knees.

Play with the inclines, speeds, or take one of the different challenges.
