Elliptical Trainers

Elliptical trainers are the recent additions to cardiovascular exercise machines. An elliptical trainer, also known as cross trainer or elliptical, provides for circular up-and-down motion. It is a combination of a ski machine and a stair stepper. It provides almost an impact-free cardiovascular exercise with varied intensity depending on the resistance setting. Some models have levers with hand grips to work the upper body.

The exerciser may need some time to getting used to the machine’s unusual motion. Look for comfortable hand grips and non-slip pedals with curved edges when buying an elliptical trainer.
