Get It Up, Your Heart Rate, That Is: Elliptical Speed Play
When it comes to which type of cardio machine you all prefer, the elliptical won by a decent margin. To celebrate the machine, I created this workout. It's rather straightforward (that's a clue that there's no backward pedaling in the workout), but fun due to all the speed changes.
Get It Up, Your Heart Rate, That Is: Full Body Elliptical
When it is hot and humid, the gym beats skipping a workout for weather-related reasons. The elliptical with moving handles can provide a full-body workout: arms, legs, and core. I like to change it up on the elliptical to take full advantage of the versatile machine, and this workout does just that.
Get It Up, Your Heart Rate, That Is: Elliptical Incline Booty Workout
Due to a slow going construction project, my husband's elliptical is living with some neighbors. They love it, but we miss it. At the gym recently, looking to work my backside while getting my heart rate up, I did this elliptical workout and played with the incline.
Get It Up, Your Heart Rate, That Is: Short Elliptical Intervals
I have said it before and no doubt I will say it again: If pressed for time, don't skip the gym altogether — just shorten your workout.
When you're pressed for time, use this quick elliptical workout I created. It's only 22 minutes long including warmup and cooldown, and features really short and effective intervals.
Get It Up, Your Heart Rate That Is: Quickie Elliptical
The elliptical is a great way to get in a quick cardio workout that is easy on your joints. It is a versatile machine too and you can reverse directions with ease. When I work out on an elliptical, I like to challenge my core by avoiding the handles.
Get It Up, Your Heart Rate, That Is: Busy Body Elliptical Workout
The elliptical is an endlessly versatile piece of cardio equipment. To keep myself occupied on this joint-friendly machine, I like to stay busy. The anticipation of changing direction, speed, and resistance makes this 40-minute workout fly by.
Get It Up, Your Heart Rate That Is: Don't Resist the Elliptical
The elliptical is a great way to get in a quick cardio workout that is easy on your joints. This little routine stresses resistance rather than incline so if you're using an elliptical that enables you to adjust the incline/ramp, just keep it at a moderate level during the entire workout.
