Cross Training Questions
Cross-trainer vs. treadmill?
I just started using it and for 20 minutes it seems I only burn 100 calories or so... compared to the treadmill where I burn 300/400 calories... is it just that I need to practice more to get use to the motions of the cross-trainer? I've only used it twice? A friend of mine he can burn 500/600 calories on a cross-trainer in 20/30 min... I am looking to burn fat around my waist and I like the motions the cross-trainer forces... moving both arms and legs.. and I suppose it is lower pressure on the legs? Basically what are the benefits of a cross-trainer? How long does it take to get good at using it? Is a cross-trainer better than a treadmill?

- cross trainer is better in a lot of ways, the way it dont effect ur joints, its much easier on the joint while the treadmill have a bad effect on ur knee and ankle, cross trainer work all Ur body if u did it in a right way and tucked ur stomach muscle at the same time, so u will work all ur body and ur abs at the same time, try doing a minute forward and another backword, this way u will be working all the muscles of ur legs and bottom. good luck
