Distance
How many calories you burn by riding one mile on an elliptical is dependent upon how quickly you complete the mile, the resistance setting on the machine while you're completing the mile and your current body weight. The faster you complete the mile and the higher the resistance intensity, the more calories you will burn. In addition, those who weigh more will burn more calories per unit of exercise time than people who weigh less.
Weight Loss
The more calories you burn during your workouts, the better your chances of losing weight. To lose body fat, you must burn more calories than you consume.
Estimated Calories
