What Is An Elliptical Machine?

You see them in every gym, you see them at fitness stores, and you hear people talk about working out on them. But what exactly is an elliptical machine? An elliptical machine is sort of a cross between a machine that simulates cross country skiing and a stair climber. It has a smooth elliptical motion, hence the name, that is a mix between the two. They were designed to provide a full body workout that doesn’t strain the joints.

Because of the smooth motion they are low impact making a good exercise machine for those with sore joints or injuries. Because they work your upper and lower body at the same time they are known for burning more calories than some other exercise machines in less time. They provide another good option in the world of exercise equipment.
