Top 5 Benefits Of Using An Elliptical Trainer
by Kathryn ONeill
Considering an elliptical trainer? Wondering how an elliptical trainer can benefit you?
If youre trying to decide between an elliptical trainer and another piece of exercise equipment, here are the top 5 unique elliptical trainer benefits to help you decide:
· No Impact:
Recently my 60-year-old mother tried my elliptical trainer and she was shocked at how easy it felt on her joints (shes a regular treadmill user).
Elliptical trainer workouts are safe on the joints and provide a no impact workout (as opposed to a treadmill where you feet hit the deck with every step). This is ideal for people with back, knee, hips and joint problems as well as older people looking for a no-impact workout.
· Weight-Bearing Exercise:
While using an elliptical machine gives you a no-impact workout, the resistance exercise still helps to build bone density and fight off osteoporosis.
As well, weight bearing exercise helps you burn calories much more efficiently (and keeps your calorie burn high for several hours after a workout)
· Saves Time
Because most elliptical trainers incorporate upper body arms, elliptical workouts tend to involve the whole body and give you an overall better workout - meaning you burn more calories in less time. Thats always a benefit.
Elliptical trainers have also been proven to offer a lower Perceived Rate of Exertion when working out. This means that youre doing more work and burning more calories while feeling like you put out less effort.
· Fights Boredom
