Elliptical Vs
Identification: CycleThe American College of Sports Medicine notes that you have two kinds of stationary cycles to choose from: upright or recumbent. Both types offer pedal resistance through the use of a flywheel, belt, hydraulics or fans. Some riders find recumbent cycleswhere your legs are stretched out in front of youmore comfortable and sustainable for long workouts. Like ellipticals, most stationary bikes have builtin programs that offer varied resistance amounts to increase your calorie burn and fitness level.
Calories BurnedHarvard Medical School compiled a chart of calories burned in 30 minutes of popular activities, calculated using three sample weights. A person who weighs 155 pounds, for example, will burn 335 calories on the elliptical and 260 calories on the cycle at moderate speed. Of course, these amounts will fluctuate based on just how fast you're moving, the level of resistance you're using and whether you use the poles on your elliptical. However, they're a good baseline to use to evaluate the machine's effectiveness; in all likelihood, you'll burn a little more on the elliptical than you will on a cycle.
Comfort TipsThe ACSM suggests you adjust a cycle's saddle height and angle for optimal comfort. Adjust the seat until it's flat; if it points upward, it will put pressure on your groin. The saddle is at the right height when your knee bends slightly at the bottom of your pedal stroke. For an elliptical, the ACSM suggests you adjust the machine's stride length to be sure you're not using small, ineffective strides. Keep your head up, shoulders back and abdominal muscles tight. You should never lean forward and rest your weight on the poles. Keep a loose, flexible grip on the poles and look forward, not down at your feet.
