If I'm "elliptical-ing" at around 5mph (is it even mph? I have no idea.) is that fash enough for me to start seeing some weight loss? Mark, does the same thinking apply towards the elliptical machine? If I’m “elliptical-ing” at around 5mph (is it even mph?

I found that when I started alternating days of walking and weights (using simple hand weights) has helped more than just walking. Your thoughts? ------------------------------------------ <strong>@Suzanne, When I walk with hand weights my <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heart_rate" rel="nofollow">Heart Rate</a> does speed up significantly. Yes, there are additional benefits when including weights into your routine. It is also important to use proper form to avoid injury see <a href="http://walking.about.com/od/exercises/tp/walkweights.htm" rel="nofollow">Walking Weights </a>for more information.

HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE!!?? ------------------------- <strong>@Tammy, When I hit a plateau I change my routine, what are your goals? Do you want to lose weight? How much? You must add fuel (food) if you want to lose weight. I do not know your circumstances so I am just throwing out random thoughts. -Mark</strong> I trained for a marathon last year and am in the middle of training for another this year and I never lost a single pound!!
