does it work on an elliptical?

I don't know but I'm sure it will. I don't use an eliptical. I assume that it uses a standard inertial sensor. I know that it works all day long for any type of body movement.

I would think so if you use the swinging arm bars. The counting is really all about the arms not feet. Great question!

No elliptical's don't do that, but you can increase/decrease the intensity to make your workout more challenging. Hope this helps.

I'm used to adjusting inclines on a treadmill. I don't recall inclines tied to elliptical's. I don't think mine has an incline adjustment.

The UP will not track your movements if your arms are still. I tried it once on the elliptical and it did not work

It may or may not. But I found a better product at Dicks sporting goods. You can go to their website and search treadmill lube. If you have a Dicks in your area go in the store and order it a receive free shipping. The item you are looking for is called Spintech treadmill lube. It comes in two forms. A black can and a yellow can. I can't remember which one is better for Ellipticals you'll have to read up on each one. The reason that I do not recommend the item your asking about is it doesn't spray upside down(very annoying when trying to get into tight spots) again I would not recommend the product you are inquiring about simply because Spintech is a way better product. It comes in a aerosol spray with a straw for pin point accuracy when using it. Hope this helps. Update: Just thought of something...i researched it and found that Amazon carries Spintech products. It's worth looking into and may be cheaper. I think they only have the yellow can which is for "dry" applications, and should be a good product for Ellipticals, but I would still look into it before purchasing.Also, I think you get more product for less money with Spintech.

I think you could assemble it yourself until you get to the part where you hook up the 2 handles/arms where your hands go and which move forward and backward as you exercise on the machine. Those 2 handles/arms are heavy and more importantly awkward in size and how they are attached to the machine. I would think you'd need the assistance of someone else to hold the handles/arms steady as you fasten them onto the elliptical. Hope that answered your question.

Yes, although you may have to "reclassify" what the activity actually is. Sometimes you need to reclassify -sometimes it reads my elliptical or stationary bike as a "walking event" instead of elliptical or cycling, but that may have something to do with the action of my foot.

Dont know but i would guess no. The heart monitor that came with it is useless so i bought my own finger o2 heart rate monitor. But i do not use it all the time. The elliptical is a great work out, i bought it for the work out not the heart monitor.

I have the same additional parts and have used the elliptical (w/out problems) even though I have not put the parts on the machine. What exactly do these parts do, and why would the machine function normally without them if they are necessary (perhaps over time you'd have problems...)?

In my experience it did not work well on an elliptical. Did not try it on a treadmill. In the interest of full disclosure, I'm the guy (Missilemonger) who generally likes Omron pedometers but gave this one a one-star review.

Tested mine today, I have the HJ720ITC, and it measured pretty accurate on my elliptical

An elliptical trainer is mainly for aerobic exercise. This machine will give you a full-body workout. I would have preferred to purchase a pilates machine instead of this one, though.

You need to input your DOB, sex, weight and don't remember if height as well. Other than that it's never going to be exact with your gym equipment, specially the elliptical machine. For some reason it doesn't register steps with it.

it will work as a heart monitor, but not as a distance measure device. Since this device was specificly design for runners, on a treadmill it is possible to estimate your distance by footstep average, but a elliptical seems more like a "cycling simulation".

We have an elliptical machine not a stationary bike, however, we were severely disappointed by the claims versus reality here. I should have saved my money.

It worked perfect on my elliptical. It is pretty universal but I don't know if it will work on your HP.
