An elliptical is a great way to get aerobic exercise. They are perfect if you want to reduce the amount of impact on your joints but still get a good workout. They are usually stationary machines that help you walk and/or jog. They give you a low-impact workout while giving your body more of a workout than just a treadmill.

Some examples of ellipticals are the Ellipse by NordiTrack, the Cyclone Crosstrainer by Quantum Television, the Power Train by Ruthy-Renker, and the HealthRider Elliptical CrossTrainer by ICON Health and Fitness.

An elliptical trainer may also be known as a cross trainer. The best ellipticals will help you with your aerobic, cardiovascular and strength exercises.

1) The benefits of an elliptical – An elliptical can give you a full-body workout with a low impact, which means your joints will be much safer when using an elliptical because you’re not banging your feet against a treadmill or the ground. Just keep your feet where they’re supposed to, like when you’re riding a stationary bike. Regular use of an elliptical can help you with your cardiovascular, aerobic, and even weight training.

2) Best Elliptical Trainer – There are so many elliptical trainers out there that it was hard to pick an outright winner. The one that has it all in the end is the Precor line of elliptical trainers. They are reliable, durable, easy for beginners to use, have options for the more advanced, twenty levels of resistance, a twelve to twenty degree incline, and a cool nineteen inch long stride. Precor even has a childproof security feature because they know that parents often worry about exercise equipment being in the home with their children.

The best part is that Precor ellipticals don’t have a weight limit. You can search for more information on Precor’s line of ellipticals.

Although I chose Precor as the best elliptical trainer, you may find another one that is a better fit for you. Do your own research on ellipticals and what works best for you.
