You can keep using the treadmill, but your time would be better spent with something more productive than the elliptical. The only use I see in that is for elderly trainees and people recovering from injuries. The alternatives are whatever you feel like: running, swimming, sports, etc.
Make sure that you're doing cardio for a long enough period of time. Only after a certain point does your body switch from using glycogen to adipose tissue (fat) for fuel, since glycogen is a more efficient energy source. You can take the tediousness out of this with circuit training; i.e., 10 minutes on the treadmill, 10 minutes swimming, 10 minutes jump-roping, etc. The biggest variable is how you eat, though. |
