Hi all, I need help with something. If you have access to a gym and can talk to a personal trainer, can you please ask a proffesional if using an elliptical trainer can make your lower body musculur? Because I am considering to buy it to burn all the fat I have in my thighs, not make them musculur. Please guys, If anyone can ask this from a professional, it would be a big help to me. I have been trying to search the answer on the internet but some sites say yes while others say no. And I can' t go to a gym because I am only 15. Please once again if u could ask your trainer this , I would be very very thankful:) Mel replied. Sorry honey, but there is no such thing as specific weight loss. Hate to tell you this. I hated finding out too. Any exercise equipment will burn fat all over by increasing your heart rate and burning calories. So, you will lose weight ALL OVER. sandya replied. Alisha,
Losing weight is a dual step process, meaning losing fat and building muscle. Can' t do one without the other and it will be really bad if you try to do it that way using medication. Elliptical trainer helps you lose weight. period. Yes, it does make you lower body muscular but you don' t end up looking like a body builder or anything. You' ll probably end up looking like an athelete or a runner which is not bad at all. I' m a living example of success with an elliptical trainer and trust me i look very-very feminine not muscular. So, go ahead and purchase that trainer if you must, but my suggestion would always be to go to a gym, just for the sheer variety of equipment to experiment with. Good luck.
