Considering an elliptical trainer? Wondering how an elliptical

trainer can benefit you?

If you're 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 (she's 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. That's always a benefit.

Elliptical trainers have also been proven to offer a lower

'Perceived Rate of Exertion' when working out. This means that

you're doing more work and burning more calories while feeling

like you put out less effort.

· Fights Boredom & Great For Crosstraining

Because elliptical trainers are a mix between the treadmill and

a stair climber you have a great opportunity to cross-train.

I was actually shocked when, after using my elliptical for a

month, I could easily climb a very steep hill that had almost

wiped me out before. My fitness level had skyrocketed and I

didn't even know it.

Plus, the fact that you can move backwards on an elliptical as

well as download workout programs from the Internet (with iFit

compatibility that many ellipticals offer), you won't get bored

easily. That means more workouts and more calories burned!

· Space Efficient

Most elliptical trainers are smaller than a treadmill and can

be more easily moved to clean or to store away when company is

coming. If you are cramped for space or have a smaller home

gym, an elliptical trainer can be a great way to save space

while getting an overall body workout

So those are some of the most prevalent benefits of using an

elliptical trainer. Keep in mind that elliptical trainers are

not for everyone. However they do offer some great workout

features that would benefit any athlete - from beginner to

elite!
