Precor Elliptical Machine – The New Cross Trainer

The latest from Precor, the Precor elliptical machine has hit the headlines recently. The new range of elliptical trainers are known to be low-impact, have both upper and lower body workout programmes, heart rate monitor, and a number of great resistance levels to boot.

The best testimonial of all would be the one that found that an elite distance runner who received rehabilitation treatment within a sports clinic and found that using an elliptical within Precor’s EFX range, her cardio capacity almost doubled. The Precor elliptical machines have always been known to provide the user with great low impact workouts, but these dramatic findings are incredible.

At the height of the treatment program, the distance runner was using a Precor EFX model for seventy percent of her cardio vascular workouts. The rest of the time was spent both cycling and pool running, and all this was due to a stress fracture she had suffered whilst training to qualify for the United States Olympic Marathon trials.

The results summarized that the Precor EFX machines could generate the most dramatic of fitness results, and were able to bring an elite runner back up to speed and her target fitness level. This was done both safely and simply, as the cross trainers are designed to provide the user with a complete cardio body workout.

Elliptical machines are designed with the motion of the natural body in mind. Unlike the more traditional treadmills and rowing machines, the elliptical trainer works out multiple muscle groups at the same time. The ramp can be set at an incline, and the machine follows the user’s natural stride, so the machines can benefit users hugely and are highly suited for those who are ‘deconditioned’ as well as those who are in training for professional reasons.
