When 60 Minutes Makes Sense

Hour long elliptical sessions are best suited for those with established fitness bases. Beginners should build up gradually to avoid overuse injuries. This duration is excellent for endurance athletes, serious weight loss programs, or those training for events.

Structuring a 60 Minute Workout

  • Minutes 1 to 10: Gradual warm up, increasing intensity
  • Minutes 11 to 25: First interval block with varied resistance
  • Minutes 26 to 35: Steady moderate intensity recovery
  • Minutes 36 to 50: Second interval block
  • Minutes 51 to 60: Cool down and stretch

Recovery Considerations

Extended cardio sessions require proper recovery. Ensure adequate hydration before, during, and after your workout. Consider spacing out hour long sessions to allow muscle recovery, especially if you are also doing strength training.
