It works, like nothing else as far as losing weight and keeping it off. So now I am relegated to the elliptical (since I just can't walk on the treadmill) and it soooo aggravating b/c the weight just does't fall off the same as when I was running 3-4 miles a day.
THIS IS SO ANNOYING!!!

I guess everyone is different because exhaustive cardio (i.e. running) didn't really do anything for me when I started. The only thing that worked was strength training- when I started that it changed my body drastically. The best thing though was when I did both- 2 days lifting, 3 days cardio along with a restricted diet did wonders. I am on path to get back to that now, but I'm just lazy, lol.
