Elliptical machine vs. stationary bike?


I just started using the elliptical machine recently for cardio and love it, but I read that it is completely useless for burning fat. I was wondering if i should switch to the stationary bike to see better results regarding fat loss? I'm pretty confused now because I am much more sore from using the elliptical than the stationary bike!

no it burns more calories but what you have to be aware of is your heart rate - there are optimum percentages for fat burning and conditioning.
look it up and hey if it's what you love it is bound to burn more cals than sitting on yer bum!

No, it's great. I love my ellitical over my stationary bike. And the tone is quite noticeble per my husbands comments about my thighs becoming more toned.

Elliptical is great! I can't stand bikes, I feel like I'm just relaxing whenever I'm on the stationary bike.
