Losing weight is all about exercise. Surely diet plays a very important part, but in my experience even a bad diet can be overcome with enough exercise. The great thing is that when you do exercise a lot, your cravings for junk food tends to disappear. If you've tried all the diets and nothing worked, then maybe this can be a good approach for you. Start by focusing on exercise and see everything fall in place.

In my opinion, there are very few fitness machines as good as an elliptical trainer. It can give you an amazing cardiovascular workout with almost zero impact on your legs and joints. the elliptical motion is very natural and if you are someone who dreads exercise because its so painful, then maybe its tome to look into elliptical trainers.

An elliptical basically offers 2 forms of exercise. The first is the cross training action which is very similar to running. It involves a lot of different muscle groups and can give you a complete upper and lower body workout. This is perfect for fat loss and maintaining a medium level of speed and resistance for 30 minutes a day can be enough to help you lose weight.

The second way you can use an elliptical is to use it for a lower body workout by simply switching to the static handle bars. This position shifts the focus on to your lower body and its perfect for targeting the most troubled area for both men and women. By adjusting the speed and intensity of the machine you can increase or decrease the intensity of workout. If you want to lose weight from your lower body and firm up those buttocks, then this can be just the machine for you.

Elliptical trainers have come down in price in recent years and these days anyone can afford one for the home. Although they are rather large machines, the latest designs can fold up which makes compact storage easy and practical.
