Cardio Mix-Up Question

buffychick Posts: 41 Joined: 2007/06/04	2007/07/24, 12:17 PM I used to be one of those girls on the elliptical for 45 mins straight......getting quite bored, not seeing results; SO, I changed it up. Power walking at a 15 incline for 20 mins, Elliptical at varying heights for 15 mins, and biking HITT for 5 minutes. I burned even MORE calories doing the power walking on an incline, than the elliptical. Does this sound like a good variation? I start with different machines everyday......... Thanks :dumbbell:
