Elliptical trainers are one of the best kinds of exercise machines to buy. One of the best reasons to buy an elliptical machine over other types of exercise equipment is how impact free the workout is. Because the motion is so fluid and there is no impact with the ground or even with the pedals of the machine, the joints are not abused like they are with a treadmill or other equipment. This makes the elliptical trainer excellent for older people, people with joint problems or those using exercise as a form of physical therapy.
Another wonderful benefit of elliptical machines is the variety of workouts available. It is much easier to stick with an exercise program that is varied and avoids boring repetition. With an elliptical one can either use the dual action handlebars for an upper body workout or leave the handlebars stationary to focus on a lower body workout. Even better is the forward and reversible motion of the foot pedals. Not only does the reverse motion work completely different muscles than the forward motion, it feels like a completely different workout on a different machine. Ellipticals also allow for a change of pace by having resistance features to make the machine harder or easier to pedal.
Last, but not least, elliptical trainers are effective. They provide a fun, cardiovascular and aerobic workout. With the use of the handlebars, the total body workout aspect of the machine targets all the major muscle groups. Probably most importantly, studies have shown that because of the lack of impact on the joints, roughly the same amount of calories is burned as working out on a treadmill with the user’s perception being that of putting in much less effort. And when a person is using a machine that allows for low-impact, fun, varied and seemingly easy exercise, they are going to lose more weight and get in shape faster.
