TOP 10 BENEFITS OF EXERCISING WITH AN ELLIPTICAL TRAINER
         Low impact exercise
         Top in the list of top ten benefits of training with an elliptical trainer is that elliptical
         trainers allow for low impact exercise. They reduce the strain and stress on ones
         legs in regard to elliptical motion. In addition to the above, elliptical trainers have no
         reverse actions. The shape of their movement corresponds to the natural path that
         one’s ankles, hip joints and knees follow when walking, running or jogging.



                                                                            Weight bearing exercise
                                                                            Compared to other fitness
                                                                            machines such as the stationary
                                                                            bicycle, elliptical trainers allow a
                                                                            weight bearing exercise. This is
                                                                            quite important as it helps in
                                                                            inhibiting the development of
                                                                            osteoporosis.



         Weight bearing exercise
         Compared to other fitness machines such as the stationary bicycle, elliptical
         trainers allow a weight bearing exercise. This is quite important as it helps in
         inhibiting the development of osteoporosis.

        Dual Action Workout
        Another unique benefit in the list of top ten benefits of working with an elliptical
        trainer is that it simultaneously works on numerous groups of muscles. This is the
        reason as to why most fitness professionals refer to it as a cross-trainer. Exercising
        with an elliptical trainer enables one to workout
        hamstrings, quadriceps, chest, glutes, back, biceps and triceps. This helps in toning
        more body parts while still optimizing on energy expenditure. The results are that one
        ends up burning more calories as well as fat in a very short time. However, in order
        to enjoy the full benefits of a dual action workout, one is advised to distribute the
        resistance between lower and upper body.

                                                                        Workout Programs
                                                                        Just like a treadmill, an elliptical
                                                                        trainer is equipped with a wide
                                                                        variety of exercise programs that are
                                                                        challenging. Such programs mimic
                                                                        interval training or hill climbing by
                                                                        alternating resistance. Most elliptical
                                                                        machines also come with a wireless
                                                                        heat rate control gadget that allows
                                                                        one to optimize their workouts by
                                                                        enabling them to use their heart rate
                                                                        to control their resistance.

                                                           Low Maintenance
                                                           One other major benefit of an elliptical trainer
                                                           over a treadmill is that it requires less
                                                           maintenance. An elliptical trainer has fewer
                                                           moving parts in addition to involving low impact
                                                           elliptical movements. In regard to the above, an
                                                           elliptical hence requires less maintenance. One
                                                           does not need to worry about motors, belts,
                                                           bearings and rollers burning out.


                                                           Saves Time
                                                           Since an elliptical trainer incorporates upper
                                                           body arms, its workouts exercise the entire body
                                                           resulting to a better overall workout. This means
                                                           that one’s body burns more calories within a very
                                                           short period of time. In addition to this, elliptical
                                                           trainers have been found to allow a reduced
                                                           “perceived rate of exertion” during workouts. This
                                                           means more workouts that burn more calories
                                                           with very little effort put.

                                                           Fights Boredom & Great for Cross training
                                                           An elliptical trainer comprises a mix between a
                                                           stair climber and a treadmill. This hence
                                                           enables it to allow a greater opportunity for
                                                           cross-training. In addition to this, it has a lot of
                                                           downloadable workout routines on the internet
                                                           hence giving you a wide variety of workouts.
                                                           This allows for more varied workouts, more
                                                           calories burned and no room for boredom.


             Cardiovascular Workouts
             An elliptical trainer allows for excellent cardiovascular workouts which are very
             important for overall body fitness. Whether one is exercising to loose some
             pounds, firm the body up or a combination of the two, having cardiovascular
             exercises in one’s workout routines is crucial for long-term fitness success.
             Space Efficient
             Compared to treadmills, elliptical trainers are much smaller and hence can be
             easily moved from one location to another when one is storing them away or
             moving them for cleaning. For people who are cramped for space or those who
             have a small home gym, elliptical trainers are efficient in saving some space while
             still allowing you to enjoy overall body workouts.
