i got a gazelle edge for christmas. I weigh 253 right now. Can it help me go down to about 160?:D :D :D

That's what the doctor said i should weigh.:mad:

First off, body weight is irrelevant. What you care about is your body fat percentage. In other words, who gives a crap if you're 160 or 260 if you're healthy and not a ball of flab, right?

Eat 5 or 6 well-rounded, healthy meals per day, do cardio every morning (fasted LISS or non-fasted HIIT, take your pick), and get going on a weight training program. Stick with that and you'll find yourself dropping body fat and adding strength and lean muscle mass.

As for the gazelle, I've never used one but cardio is cardio. You can't really tell from the infomercial or anything, but unless it's just really cheaply made and/or really hard to use, I don't see why it wouldn't be any less effective as a treadmill, elliptical machine, or stationary bike.

Do a few searches for your questions, read the stickied threads, and you'll have all the info you need to reach your goals.:tu:

many people say this machine doesnt do to good, i have used it and have had great results it helped me drop to 190, when i 1st used it i was 235, i no longer use mines because i signed up to a gym,

Did you get the personal training video? i would do the full 30 min workout, the do the last intense 10 mins over again for a 40 min workout, so i will say if you eat healthier and workout yes you will get results

As Glaive mentioned, utilize the search feature. Any questions you have not found an answer to, ask away.

Welcome!

Will this gazelle that i got for christmas help me?

Only if you step on it. Otherwise, it won't do much else.

The next step is to start cleaning up what you eat (actually do both together).

Hopping on the machine is a step (stride) in the right direction.

Good Luck.

Man did you come to the right place. Learn about fitness here.

The gazelle is good for two things. You can get some cardio done on it, and at your current weight, that's not trivial.

The other thing it's good for is showing that someone cares about you.
