  • There are hundreds of fitness machines invented each year. Most don't work well; however, the elliptical treadmill has proven to be one of the rare machines that does.

    Function

    An elliptical treadmill is a machine that mimics natural lower body functions so you feel as if you're walking or running, but without the impact. It's like running while floating off the ground.

    Upper Body

    Unlike running, elliptical treadmills also let you work your upper body. Most elliptical treadmills have moving handlebars so you can exercise your biceps and triceps.

    Benefits

    You can burn the same amount of calories on an elliptical treadmill as you can while jogging. Your feet remain in pedals the entire time so exercise is low impact, lessening possibility of injuring your joints.

    Users

    Elliptical treadmills are a good fitness option for all people; however, because they're low impact on the knees, they're a great choice for the elderly or people recovering from surgery.

    Results

    Elliptical treadmills work your upper and lower body simultaneously, which allows your heart rate to rise quickly. The result is that you can burn more calories with less effort, allowing your body not to feel completely exhausted at the end of the workout.
