Why Elliptical Machines Are No Good For Fat Loss

Hey Fitness Seekers!

Cameron here with some interesting info I got from Craig about his thoughts on elliptical machines. You know, they certainly are the trendy option and you can often see stacks of them at every gym you go to.

But are they the real deal or are they just “feel good” machines. I mean you sure can get a good sweat up on them and they can also be a bit of fun but I agree with Craig where he says there should also be some metabolic resistance training included in most exercises you do especially if you are really serious about blasting away that fat. Anyhow, I have his information below – take a read and see what you think?

Just over a year ago I was at another fitness seminar in Tampa, Florida.

A physician from Georgia stopped me in the hall in between seessions and pulled me up. “Hey Craig, you were right about those crosstrainer machines. I’ve had your program for a few months now and I’m getting better results with metabolic resistance training.”

I really love meeting clients, and I was curious to find out how he heard of me. As it urns out, it was through Google, landing on an article I wrote about “how elliptical machines or as they are sometimes known – crosstrainers, suck for fat loss ”.

That’s right, I think those crosstrainer-elliptical machine doohickeys are pretty much a complete waste of time.

He went on to say “I was using one of those machines for a long time and wondering why I wasn’t getting any results,” “I’m so glad I found your program”, he added.

I told him how I was sorry for his wasted efforts however I wasn’t surprised.

Furthermore, I struggle to recall or remember anyone getting great results with one of those crosstrainer machines. Nope, it’s diet and metabolic resistance training that really gets people results.

Now I know some people will surely be pretty cranky with what I have to say because they like exercising on the crosstrainer, but the truth is that they just don’t work as well as metabolic resistance training.

In my humble opinion, the crosstrainer is just the easy way out.

You’ll get loads of metabolic resistance training supersets – using my unique non-competing turbulence method – when you grab your copy of the Turbulence Training for Fat Loss program.

And you can get Turbulence Training for Fat Loss for less than the cost of a one month gym membership. That also beats shelling out $1000 or more for a crappy crosstrainer for your home gym.
