The elliptical machine is one of our fitness equipment that has a good weight loss effect. Many fitness equipment have different training results at different times. The same is true for the elliptical machine. The effect will be different when we exercise on the elliptical machine for different periods of time. So do you know the effects of different exercise times on the elliptical machine for weight loss? Let’s go to the fitness equipment and take a look!
1. Run on the elliptical machine for 5 minutes
Running on the elliptical machine for 5 minutes is just a warm-up. It can only put muscles, bones, heart, blood vessels and other tissues and organs into a state of exercise. It has no other weight loss effect at all. Of course, it can still be used as a warm-up exercise.
2. Run on the elliptical machine for 10 minutes
After 10 minutes of elliptical exercise, fat has not been burned yet, and the fitness effect is minimal. The cardiopulmonary function has just entered the state, and the exercise effect is very small. In addition, please note that if 10 minutes of elliptical exercise has already made you sweat profusely, you may need to adjust your exercise rhythm and intensity. Too hasty exercise may even be harmful to your health.
3. Run on the elliptical machine for 15 minutes
Running the elliptical machine for 15 minutes means you have just started burning fat. One of the elements of aerobic exercise is to persist for more than 15 minutes. If you exercise on the elliptical machine for 15 minutes, the free glucose in the body will be exhausted, the metabolic system has just started burning mode, and the heart and respiratory system have just found the appropriate rhythm. At this time, the body is full of strength and fatigue gradually dissipates.
4. Run on the elliptical machine for 30 minutes
If you can insist on running on the elliptical machine for more than 30 minutes, you have already achieved a certain exercise effect. Of course, if you are willing and able at this time, it would be best to persist for a while.
5. Run on the elliptical machine for 50 minutes
Both exercise theory and practical results show that about 45 minutes of aerobic exercise can allow the body to achieve good exercise effects without causing a strong sense of fatigue. It is the best time for aerobic exercise.
6. Run the elliptical machine for more than 1 hour
It is recommended to take your time when running for an hour. Overloaded aerobic exercise will cause a strong sense of fatigue in the body. While burning fat, it may also cause muscles to be broken down and burned, and the effect of exercise will be greatly reduced. Whether it is fitness, weight loss, or physical exercise, you should not rush for results. It is not recommended to do high-load exercises such as running on the elliptical machine for an hour.
