Question #12: when I walk, jog, or do the eliptical my calves hurt and are get really sore, if I do not do any cardio than?
how can I lose weight? I stretch before I exercise and I do not exercise for that long.......30 minutes, I do not know why my calves are so weak, the rest of my body is fine after exercise, my calves hurt right now, I did the eliptical yesterday for 30 minutes

Answer: I had this problem when I first started elliptical training. It took about 2 months before the pain went away. I guess I just had weak calves and I needed to build muscle. I would try lowering your resistance. Cardio is the best way to lose weight. To date, I have lost 40 pounds doing the elliptical 30 minutes a day burning 400-500 calories per session depending on my speed/resistance. You can do it!!!

Question #18: difference between running outside vs on an eliptical machine?
when im at the gym i can easily run 4 miles at a high resistance and a good pace on an eliptical machine but when i run outside i can make it about half a mile before my lungs start to hurt. i dont smoke, im a rugby player...so i can run up and down the field, but its usually broken up with tackles and rucks and whatever. what is so different about the two types of exercise? its annoying me!!

Answer: Could be several factors:1. The outside air where you are running.2. The extra effort of impact of actual running verse EFX machine.3. The uncontrolled pace of running on your own. Are you starting out too fast?

Question #19: Question about the eliptical?!?
Im fourteen and i was wondering when the eliptical counts how many calories i burn if they really are reliable? I was just wonderin if my age plays a factor in what im assuming the machine calculates for adults.

Answer: It depends on the ellipitcal. I'm also fourteen and the ones at my gym are accurate because it asks you to enter your age and weight. I'm sure the ones that you use are mostly accurate though. There should be no problem! :)

Would I burn the same amount of calories using the eliptical trainer for 30 minutes and running on the treadmill for 30 minutes at 5.8-6.0 mph?

Answer: Im not totally sure about that but the benefit of the eliptical is that it is no impact as opposed to running. So much better for your joints :)
