What burns more calories??????

An hour on the eliptical at a very high speed .... as fast as u can go to keep pace for an hour.... or

An hour on the eliptical at a high resistance level

Thanks for comments!

Staggered resistance and/or Run/Jog...alternating has great results for burning fat and "primo" cardio training.

^^^^ agreed it is more intense

I wouldn't worry about how many cals you have burned, worry about the right intensity to burn fat not muscle.
220 - age x .7 =

how about 30 mins on the treadmill doing sprint intervals.

Agree completely, intensity is far more important. I would try to find a good balance between high resistance at a decent speed.

Did you mean (220-age) x .7 ? This way f I am 27 I will have to stay in 135 range.
If it's 220 - age x .7 my HR should be 201

[t-gunz]

yeah the one with the brackets lol..... 135 is right

Cals burned is not the answer, its burning fat from the fat stores.

Setting the resistance level at a high rate would be borderline anarobic which uses glucose as a primary fuel source, Meaning that although you might have burned up more calories overall you could of burned fat more effeciently by following the 220-age*.7 (Or just 170 minus age too)

IMO, you should do intervals and if you want kick up the resistance on high for a change of pace periodically, your body gets used to cardio just like weight training and should change things up a bit as well too.

agreed.......

Exactly, if you want to burn more calories.. just have more self control and don't consume them in the first place..

In my defense of this thread .. it was started originally on jan 4 ... and I've learned calories burned doesn't mean anything
