Basic Workouts
Although you’re free to go at your own pace, a good baseline for elliptical workouts is 15-20 minutes. As you get more comfortable and build your endurance, you can increase your speed, resistance, and incline (if your machine has variable incline settings).
Interval Workouts
We asked Matt Petrillo, C.S.C.S., director of adult fitness at The Annex Sports Performance in Passaic, N.J., how to get a great workout on the elliptical.
“My clients utilize ellipticals through low-intensity interval training. To do this, choose a work interval ranging from 30-90 seconds and a rest interval between 30-60 seconds, making sure your work period is longer than your rest,” Petrillo says.
