I'm 6'0 roughly 175...so I'm decently lean, but I have accumulated some fatty areas thanks to a college diet for the past year. I'm eating healthier now, and was just wondering what you all think is a good range of calories to burn on an elliptical for 30 minutes. (I don't jog because of bad shin splints). Today the machine read a little over 400 (though I am aware that it's not going to be dead on accurate)...is this what I should be burning off for cardio?

I'm basically doing this EOD after my workouts.


Thanks for the opinions :)

it all depends on the speed and level of difficulty the elliptical is set at. also, i don't put too much stress on those calorie counters that are built into the machines. just bust your ass every time for that 30 minutes..wait a few weeks and if you don't notice a difference, check that diet or go for longer on the elliptical

good luck
