Elliptical/Cross Trainers
Cross trainers exercise the lower and upper body by providing resistance to the muscles of the legs, chest, arms and shoulders.
Because our legs and arms are moving in a kind of criss-cross fashion, cross trainers also work our midsection as well.
As a result, cross trainers provide a great overall toning workout while providing the aerobic exercise many of us need to burn maximum calories and body fat.
Cross trainers are low impact.
Cross trainers provide a similar workout to jogging and running, but without the impact on our muscles and joints that these other exercises involve.
For those of us with existing injuries or soreness in these muscles and joints (ankles, knee and hips), cross trainers are a godsend because they allow us to get a similar workout without the associated pain.
For those of us without existing injuries, training on a cross trainer may help prevent us from experiencing them altogether and may prolong our ability to exercise well into old age as a result.
Exercising on a cross trainer can help you burn a lot of excess calories and can improve the strength and health of your heart and lungs.
