eliptical machine question?

Question:

Is doing 60 minutes straight on an eliptical miachine the same as doing 2 30 minute sessions? Would the calories lost be different?

Answers:
Almost same stuff.

Except.

There is a margin. You have to get in 'the zone' where your heartbeat is optimal. If you do 60 minutes you do about 5 minutes to get there and 5 to get down. Equals 50 minutes hard labor.

30 minutes you do the same except for 1 cool-down I would guess but still 5 minutes extra for getting your heartrate back up. Equals 45 minutes hard labor.

These 5 minutes are not lost. You probably would take more rests if you did it all in a 60 minutes program. If you CAN do 60 minutes full force so to speak, 60 minutes are better for you as you maximize your effort. That's all. Until then two times 30 is better.

Other Answers:
no it should be the same and you should make sure and check your heart rate and keep varying the incline and resistence
