I just got an Ironman 320e Eliptical trainer and the screen doesn’t come on. Is there a battery I need and if so, where is it located?
Thanks.
Do they make your legs leaner, more bulkier?
Do they tone your abs?
What do they do?
I’m 5′11″, and the ceiling in my basement is only around 7′ - will it work there or will I be banging my head against the ceiling?
Okay so this is my plan (im doing it as a lifestyle, its not a diet)
Sundays - Fridays:
Exercise:
15 min weight training
15 min elliptical trainer
Eating plan:
Breakfast: a serving of fresh fruit (low starch low sugar and low fat) e.g green apple with 6 ounces skimmed plain yogurt
Lunch: afternoon
* bowl of veggies (fresh or cooked) but i stay away from starchy or fatty kinds like beans,peas, potatoes, corn,avocadoes,olives,carrots
and
* good portion of lean meat (e.g 7 ounces skinless grilled chicken)
Drink lots of water
Saturdays: day off
Do you think i can lose 10-15 pounds by the end of 2008? (116 days)
I bought a 546i EFX Elliptical trainer from a resort that was upgrading their equipment. A couple months ago I started to really use the machine and I love it so much. However, this week the incline ramp would only go up and it is not going down when I press the button. I tried WD-40 but that does not work.
I called Precor and they told me to call a company in FLorida because I live in the Virgin Islands. I have not been able to get through with the number they gave me.
Anyone has any suggestions with what I can do? or what maybe the problem with the ramp on the machine?
I’m a 22 year old male, 5′10, about 195 pounds. I’m starting an exercise routine on a elliptical trainer and I want to tone up a little and burn off excess fat.
Right now my plan is to start out 15 minutes a day for the first couple days, then go 20 - 25 minutes a day the following week or two, then 30 minutes per day by the end of the month. Is this a good plan? Or should I change it? Also, when I reach 30mins a day, is that a good routine to keep up indefinitely?
How many days out of the week should I do this?
