Weight Loss With Tony Gazelle Elliptical - Possible If You Don't Make This 1 Mistake

You've probably seen it on tv a bunch of times... Tony Little and his Elliptical machine called the Gazelle. So is weight loss possible with this thing? Yes, but...

First, let me say that I love elliptical machines. I think they're way better than treadmills because they're so easy on the joints and ligaments. Using an elliptical machine allows you to have a great low impact workout.

Second, the Gazelle would make a perfect addition to anyone who works out at home.

Now, the problem with most cardio machines such as this has to do with how they're used, not the machines. About 98% of people make this mistake too.

So what is it?

Simply put, most people do "steady state" cardio. What that means is they do long, slow to moderate paced sessions of over 30 minutes in a row.

Well, that's just not the most efficient way to burn fat.

A better way to use the Gazelle for weight loss is to do HIIT... which is short for high intensity interval training.

Here's an example of how you can do it.

Using the Gazelle... get on it and start going at a slow to moderate pace for 15-20 seconds. Easy enough. Ok, now after you're done with that, go all out... really intense... as fast as you can go. Do this for just 10 seconds.

Great! What just happened was you did your first interval. Now keep repeating that cycle for 6-10 minutes. Then get off the machine and rest... and get a drink of water.

What's awesome about HIIT is that it's quick and burns more fat than plain old jogging. The reason why it burns more calories and fat is because of what is called an "afterburn". What that means is your body (after it's done with a HIIT session) is in a hyper fat loss state.

It's at an elevated level of fat burning. But the great part is, it stays at this elevated fat burning mode for about 18 hours after a HIIT session. That equals massive amounts of fat loss compared to jogging or walking... because once you're done jogging, you're done burning fat. No afterburn.

So... weight loss with the Tony Gazelle elliptical is definitely possible if you don't make that 1 mistake. So give it a try. It's a great piece of equipment.

Aerobic Exercise Equipment - Reviewing the Gazelle Edge Glider

I don't know a thing about you, but if you're anything like me, you know there's a ton of aerobic exercise equipment on the market these days. Many of these products are advertised on TV, pitched by celebrity spokespeople.

One of these products is the Gazelle Edge, promoted by fitness celeb Tony Little. In this article, we'll examine some of the key features and benefits of this product.

First of all, the Gazelle Edge is an "exercise glider," not a treadmill or elliptical machine. It does not include any motorized parts or high-tech components. It is a simply made, "what you see is what you get" product.

Basic features:

Dual-action split suspension

Large non-skid foot platforms

Foam handgrips

1.5 inch rolled steel frame

Display offers feedback on speed, distance, time, and calories burned

Foldable for convenient storage

One of the key points about this glider is the full range of motion that the split suspension design provides. It allows you to vary your speed at will, from a plodding walk, to a sprint.

Because your feet rest on non-skid platforms, it's a low-impact activity. This is a good benefit to consider if you suffer from joint problems and find walking or running on a treadmill or pavement difficult.

Although the rolled steel frame of the glider appears lightweight, it is quite sturdy. It can handle a maximum weight capacity of two hundred and fifty pounds, which makes this product usable by a wide variety of individuals.

One thing to keep in mind, however, is that you'll need about three feet of clearance on both the front and back sides of this machine. Factor this with the dimensions of the machine itself, and you'll need a fair amount of space to use the glider.

Want to know your speed and calories burned? It comes with a small monitor that tracks these metrics as you work out, although many users have expressed concerns about the accuracy of the device when it concerns expended calories.

Finally, this product does not offer variable resistance levels. It is fun to use, and can increase your heart rate and help you break a sweat, but it is not suggested for progressive endurance training.

Nevertheless, if you're seeking a budget-priced product that can offer a fair, low-impact aerobic workout, the Gazelle Edge is worth a look.
