I've heard a lot of experts say that they are. The reason is the natural positioning and the low impact on your body. You're getting a workout, a good strenuous workout, but without all of the damage that running can do. But to be fair, a stationary bike is not as hard on your body as running on a treadmill. Though the elliptical will give more of a total body workout.

The Advantages Of Working Out With An Elliptical Cross Trainer?

How to Use a Cross TrainerThere are a number of benefits in using an elliptical cross trainer during a workout session, or in owning a trainer for use at home. One of the most attractive aspects of exercising on a trainer is the removal of the high impact that normal running or jogging can cause. The smooth motion of the pedals places less stress on the ankles, knees, and back. When there is less stress on the joints and back, workouts can be more comfortably sustained for a longer period of time.The cross training aspect of an elliptical machine provides a way to get a complete body workout with only a single piece of equipment. Some machines have long poles to grip while using the foot pedals, although other machines can have a pulley system. When the cross training handles are attached to a separate resistance generator than the elliptical pedals, the workout can be customized so that the handles can be used for strength training, toning, or just for the general burning of calories. With certain machines, the cross training handles can be used separately from the elliptical pedals for a more varied workout.For those who are just starting to take an interest in fitness, an elliptical cross trainer offers a very safe and secure exercise method, whether the machine is located at a gym or in a home. Unlike motorized machines, an elliptical trainer only operates when the user is applying force. If a cramp or other problem occurs, the user can step off of the machine safely without worrying about moving parts. Additionally, there are almost always a number of handles and grips on an elliptical cross trainer so that there is very little chance that the user will become unbalanced and fall down.When purchased and used in the home, elliptical cross trainers have the benefit of being very simple to use and setup. The lack of impact and the limited number of moving parts also makes the machines last longer than other exercise machines. Over the long run, elliptical cross trainers are a worthwhile investment that can be easily repaired and that will work for years at a time.
