Elliptical trainers offer the benefit of a low-impact workout, while exercising both your upper and lower body. The elliptical is a cross between a treadmill and a cross country ski machine, but instead of your feet sliding back and forth like they would on skis, the pedals will move in an oval or elliptical pattern. Since your feet never leave the pedals, your feet don’t strike the ground so there is less stress and strain on your joints. It is like walking or running in midair.

With an elliptical trainer, you work your quadriceps, hamstrings, glutes, chest, back, triceps and biceps. The obvious benefit from exercising more muscles is that you tone more of your body. You end up burning more calories and fat in less time. Of course, to get the full benefit of the dual action workout, it is important that you distribute the resistance between your upper and lower body. Many people who exercise on an elliptical trainer place most of the resistance on their lower body and only go through the motions with the upper handlebars. To mount the machine from the side, grab the handle bar for balance and step on the pedals. The pedals have no resistance to your weight so be careful when climbing on and off. Once you have begun the pedal momentum, you simply keep pedaling while the elliptical trainer automatically begins to record your time and distance manually.
