Hi. What is better: 30 minutes on an elliptical 5x a week or 60 minutes 3x a week.

I've been doing 60 minutes but getting a bit burned out. Want to keep the same amount of workout but spread it better.

Any tips?

    30 minutes 5x a week would even be too much for me. It's personal. If you're burning out with 60 minutes, mess around until you find an amount that is sustainable/manageable for you.

    Do you switch up machines... Pick 3 machines and do 20 on each...

    I was told switching machines helped you burn more calories..just saw on tv that Fergie does elliptical, bicycle and treadmill.

    Not sure if this is true or not but it provides a slightly different workout for different muscles

    Better in what way? For me, 5 minutes on the elliptical is too much, I get bored just thinking about it ;)

    Thanks all for your replies. I like the idea of switching up the machines.
