Cardio Training

Ellipticals, like treadmills, are a good form of cardio exercise.

First, the greatest feature of the elliptical is the fact that your feet never leave the peddles when moving, unlike the impact that you would get from a treadmill walking/ running outside.

Second, you are moving in a elliptical motion which is basically the shape of an egg. This allows you free continual smooth movement, creating a better environment for your exercise program. Looking at this elliptical movement, your muscle groups are receiving resistance all around.

Repetitive Syndrome is a motion when an exercise is repeated, over and over, in the same motion everyday leading to joint stress, pain and/or other forms of discomfort. Changing up your exercise by using elevation going backwards and forwards or by changing your stride length will keep from having this problem and the ellipticals are just the equipment that allows you to do this.

Now with many ellipticals to choose from, one must look at the adjustable strides, varied elevations, and pliant peddles. Stride length should be from 19 to 21 inch, when you are deciding. Having a wide range of elevation variations should be considered, especially if your looking for a more intense fitness program. Some elliptical have adjustable peddles, which raise the back of your heal allowing you to work muscle groups different.


Quality

Simple - Always purchase ellipticals that do not have plastic bushingsor low end bushings, which usually start warring, get slack, and/ or movement in peddle and handles after a few months of use. Slowing you down on your training program, both physically and mentally.

Ellipticals with brass bushings, steel busings, or bearings are the best. Service and maintenance is always going to be a large factor and knowing your equipment is s safe and secure, will give you better confidence that you can push yourself to the extreme, on your exercise equipment.
