An elliptical cross trainer is a machine that allows you to exercise in the form of stair climbing, running, or walking by simulating that physical activity. The elliptical is not a high impact training machine and therefor, may be suitable for people who have injuries that prevent them from running.

Performing Elliptical Exercises The Right Way?

How to Use the Elliptical MachineElliptical exercises provide a unique opportunity for the body to use a wide range of muscles without the high-impact stress that other types of exercises or workout machines generate. It is very important that a person who is using an elliptical trainer know the correct way to perform the exercises on the machine. Improperly performing elliptical exercises can actually put stress on muscles that can lead to injuries. Using an elliptical trainer in the wrong way can also negate many of the potential benefits that are associated with using the machine.Elliptical exercises are intended to be performed in a relaxed standing position. The actual motion that the machine creates can help to promote good posture in an individual. Using the elliptical trainer without employing any handgrips or cross-training bars means that the user must rely on posture to stay balanced. In cases where a stabilizing bar or cross-training handles are used, the person performing the exercise must make a conscious effort to maintain good body alignment. It is easy to maintain good alignment when the various parts of the trainer are designed in a way that allows them to be adjusted to fit the user.One of the largest draws of elliptical exercise is the reduced amount of impact that is transferred to the joints and bones. The smooth motion of the trainer means that there are no sharp or jarring forces that could injure a joint or that could exacerbate an existing injury. Just because elliptical exercises are low-impact does not mean that they are always safe. The exercises still rely on weight placed on joints. People who have severe injuries or other conditions should check with a doctor before starting elliptical exercises to make sure that the exercises will not be harmful.Many types of elliptical exercises can be enhanced through the use of a trainer that has variable resistance and speed settings. These machines cause the pedals to move automatically under the feet for part of each rotation. Faster settings mean that an individual will have to move faster to keep up with the pedals. Resistance is applied when the person presses down on the pedal. High levels of resistance can be used to build muscle or to burn calories quickly. The amount of resistance and the speed of the unit need to be carefully chosen to prevent over-exertion of the body during longer workout routines. High levels of speed and resistance can also throw an untrained user off-balance and can lead to injuries that result from falling.
