Yea it is. Full body; chest, arms, legs, and a lil burn in your back.

I use the star climber at the gym. I got an elliptical bike and a nordictrack here in my house. It's gr8 cardio.

You gotta be persistent to see results, but it don't just burn calories, it does burn fat.

using an elliptical will burn calories, so yes it would help you lose weight. Same as running, swimming, jump ropes, etc. But eating more than you burn wont help you.

Elliptical's are for girls dude. Grow some testicles.

A good chunk of that is just water weight...

But yea, the elliptical isn't bad, there isn't as much stress on your joints as opposed to running. I set mine on max resistance to get the most efficient workout in the shortest amount of time.

But I suggest you change it up once in awhile to maintain intensity (I do elliptical, jump rope, and running, albeit I haven't done the last one lately).

Because of my knees right now im unale to run ....ive been using this machine and it seems pretty good. A couple of days ago i did 4.01 miles in 30 minutes(not sure if this is good or not) and i was going pretty quick---and felt like i just did quite a serious bit of cardio.

Try the different settings to change it up a bit. Im 6'0 and about 67-72 kg(depending) so i dont really need to lose weight that much but im pretty sure if you use it wisely you will see results.

Hell yeah the elliptical is good. I completely ditched the exercise bike after using it, because it make you lose far more and with seemingly less effort.
