hi
i have been going on the eliptor(sp) & it burns the most calories, i love it however my knees are starting to be in pain, I have gone up in levels, but my knees do not seem to like that, but it;s the next logical step(No pun intended) so how can i continue to go up & save my knees?
thankyou

First off, I need to know what kind of eliptical machine you're using: PRECORE? (WHICH IS BETTER) or a regular Lifesupport machine? I know exactly why you're receiving pain because you're using your toes to press down instead of using your whole feet flat.

BUT, the best way to use an eliptical is to pedal BACKWARDS with your feet flat, abs tight. This avoids pressure on the knee and works your hammstrings and glutes more.

If you continue to feel pain, stay away from the eliptical and tredmill and just go on a spin bike.

Also if you need some ideas on cardio workouts, check out my NEW videos-Click below.

thanks Damian,
i just book marked your page & will look at it tomorrow, when it's not so late.
I am not sure the kind of machine i am on, i will find out.
backwards? really? Wow i never see anyone doing that, i go backwards for a few minutes at the end usually
but i will try, & do not use my toes, Ok I will work on that, thanks
