exercise equipment that
you can buy. Depending
on the eliptical machine
you use you will get a full
body workout that will
burn calories without
injury. If you have ever
spent any time on a
treadmill you know how
hard they are on your
knees and sometime
ankles. Belt slip on
treadmills can really hurt
heavier than 180 lbs. As
your foot strikes the
continues move back towards you. You can tighten the belt on a treadmill
but it will soon be back to slipping again. All this injury producing stress is
absent when you use an eliptical machine.
Exercise on an eliptical machine has been described from running on air to
running across a waterbed. It does feel unusual the first time you take any
eliptical machine for a ride. It does not take long to begin to feel the all the
advantages of using the eliptical machine. Most eliptical machines come
with handles that move in unison with your stride to give the upper body
workout that treadmills lack. There is another advantage that eliptical
machines have over treadmills and that is “reduced felt exercise”.
Researchers have tried to put a finger on it but it is hard to describe.
Basically when you exercise on an eliptical machine you burn more
calories with less apparent felt effort. Riding an eliptical machine for an
hour will appear to you to use a lot less effort than doing an hour on a
treadmill. The result is that you tend to exercise more intensely and longer
on an eliptical machine.
If you are looking for a quality piece of in home exercise equipment you
can not beat an eliptical machine. When compared to a treadmill an eliptical
machine has a smaller footprint and many models have the ability to fold
up for storage. Eliptical machines take less power and some take no power
at all allowing them to be sited just about anywhere in the house without
running extension cords. In addition many elipticals have wheels so that it
is easier to move the machine from one room to another. Prior to
purchasing any eliptical trainer it is important to take the time to test the
machine. Spend at least 20 minutes on each unit that you are considering.
Do your research in terms of reliability. In addition no matter what eliptical
machine you are considering you should consider an extended warranty.
The bottom line is that there is no better piece of home exercise equipment
than an eliptical machine.
