The lower-body muscles are primarily targeted on elliptical trainer, including the: 1  Buttocks (gluteus maximus) For greater the butt-firming effect, increase the incline. 2  Front of thighs (quadriceps) The elliptical trainer really works the quadriceps. 3  However, thankfully it isnât as noticeable as on the stationary bike.
ELLIPTICAL. Treadmill at about speed 3.7 (can't go much higher without jogging ) = losing 5 calories a minute, or 50 calories for 10 minutes. Elliptical at level 7 for 10 mins = 70-80 calories burnt. I find THIS easier than the treadmill. So you'd have to do about 1.5x the amount of exercise on a treadmill to get the same elliptical results. And an elliptical is a better muscle work out. Also more fun (in my opinion) Elliptical forces your arms to move. So you will lose arm fat, guaranteed. You CAN move your arms on a treadmill, but it's easier to either forget to move your arms, get lazy, or lose your balance on a treadmill (by not holding onto the handles). Belly fat will come off either way.
