They come with fantastic <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.holodia.com\/vr-fitness-blog\/10-health-benefits-of-elliptical-workouts\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">health benefits<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and they are the perfect <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.holodia.com\/vr-fitness-blog\/starting-your-fitness-journey-transforming-your-mind-to-transform-your-body\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">starting point for beginners.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To start with, ellipticals are notoriously known for being low-impact on the joints, while they simultaneously provide great weight loss and calorie burn workouts. And if your elliptical machine comes with handles, then you\u2019ll be working a lot more of your body than just legs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, while<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.holodia.com\/vr-fitness-blog\/how-to-burn-belly-fat-on-the-elliptical-workout-plan-included\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> elliptical workouts are a great weight loss tool<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, it\u2019s important that you no overdo it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just like any other type of exercise, if you haven\u2019t workout out in a while, or if you\u2019re living a pretty sedentary lifestyle, you have to make sure to listen to your body, and ease yourself into tougher, longer workouts. Otherwise, not only will your body hurt, and your hatred towards exercise skyrocket, but you also risk injuries.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Having said that, we wanted to help in any way we can, and provide this great weight loss elliptical workout for beginners. An important note here is that this workout is meant for the \u201caverage\u201d beginner, but since we\u2019re all different, it might not suit your level of fitness.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our advice is to try it, and then adjust accordingly. If it is way too easy for you, go up a level, and if it\u2019s way too hard, tone it all down. In general, your workouts should be just a tad challenging, to make sure you\u2019re actually making progress.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now, without further ado: here\u2019s the beginner\u2019s elliptical workout that you just have to try.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">25-Minute Elliptical Workout for Beginners<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If this is only one in a series of elliptical workout articles that you\u2019ve been researching, then you must have already stumbled upon HIIT workouts.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">HIIT or High-Intensity Interval Training is the big thing in fitness right now and for the right reasons. It\u2019s a great tool for weight loss that includes high-intensity bursts of exercise, followed by low-intensity recovery periods. And that\u2019s where the magic happens: it helps you get great results in improved muscle tone, fat burn, endurance in less time!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That\u2019s why our recommended beginner\u2019s workout will be all about the HIIT program on HOLOFIT VR Fitness that you can use on your elliptical machine.<\/span><i> <\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In case you don\u2019t yet have HOLOFIT, scroll down to the next section to get the workout plan that you can do on your own.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since HIIT is high-intensity (duuh! ?), it\u2019s important that you warm up before, and cool down after. Here\u2019s what we recommend:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Warm-up: 5 minutes in Explore mode in Paris<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Paris is one of the best environments to use with Explore mode. It\u2019s full of peculiarities, and hidden trophies that you\u2019ll have fun collecting, while the 5 minutes go by without you even noticing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Set your own pace to get your muscles working.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"video-shortcode\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Jogging through Paris on HOLOFIT [VR Elliptical Workout]\" width=\"1170\" height=\"658\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gq8J4NRj7Qk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p><b>HIIT: 15 minutes in San Francisco on Easy<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our HIIT program comes with five difficulty settings to enable you to make progress through the different levels. Since you\u2019re only beginning, we recommend you start on Easy. If you find the workout to be too easy or too hard, you can always switch to very easy or medium difficulty.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Cool-down: 5 minutes in Explore mode in Antarctica<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you get to this point, you\u2019ll be pretty tired, and the iciness of Antarctica just might be what you need to get that much-desired cooldown. Once again, the hidden trophies here will keep you entertained and keep pushing that last 5 minutes to cool your muscles down.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4961 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.holodia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/1-2-1024x576.png\" alt=\"ELLIPTICAL-WORKOUT-FOR-BEGINNERS\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.holodia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/1-2-200x113.png 200w, https:\/\/www.holodia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/1-2-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/www.holodia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/1-2-400x225.png 400w, https:\/\/www.holodia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/1-2-600x338.png 600w, https:\/\/www.holodia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/1-2-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/www.holodia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/1-2-800x450.png 800w, https:\/\/www.holodia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/1-2-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.holodia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/1-2-1200x675.png 1200w, https:\/\/www.holodia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/1-2.png 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How do I do it if I don\u2019t have HOLOFIT VR Fitness?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your warm-up and cool-down exercises can stay the same if you don\u2019t have HOLOFIT, just make sure to find something to keep you entertained so that you push through.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As for the HIIT workout, you can try relying on your rating of perceived exertion (RPE). RPE is a scale from 6 to 20 that describes the level of exertion that you are feeling with 6 being no exertion as if you were standing still, and 20 being maximum exertion, something you can\u2019t keep doing for much longer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For your warm-up and cool down, stay between levels 9 and 10.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For your beginner\u2019s HIIT, let\u2019s say that your recovery periods should be at level 10 &#8211; 12, while your high-intensity bursts should stay between 14 &#8211; 16.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What you should do is alternate these periods until your 15 minutes run out. The high-intensity bursts should last 30 seconds, followed by recovery periods of 90 seconds.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A good idea here might be to set up timers on your phone so as not to lose track of time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4963 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.holodia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/2-1-1024x576.png\" alt=\"WEIGHT-LOSS-ELLIPTICAL-WORKOUT-FOR-BEGINNERS\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.holodia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/2-1-200x113.png 200w, https:\/\/www.holodia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/2-1-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/www.holodia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/2-1-400x225.png 400w, https:\/\/www.holodia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/2-1-600x338.png 600w, https:\/\/www.holodia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/2-1-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/www.holodia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/2-1-800x450.png 800w, https:\/\/www.holodia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/2-1-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.holodia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/2-1-1200x675.png 1200w, https:\/\/www.holodia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/2-1.png 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/www.holodia.com\/vr-fitness-blog\/how-to-increase-calorie-and-fat-burn-on-the-elliptical-free-ebook\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Looking to increase calorie and fat burn on your elliptical?
