History

Five years ago an eliptical trainer was introduced to the public and the fitness world. Since then, elliptical trainers have become increasingly popular.

In the past, fitness instructors and personal trainers recommended weight-bearing exercises like hiking or running, which work your circulatory system, burn fat, build bones and tone muscles.

Unfortunately, these weight-bearing exercises expend a lot of energy, leading to fatigue. More importantly, they can also cause a lot of stress in the body’s structure, like the back, feet and knee joints.

From this dilemma, an idea was born. What if a machine could provide the benefits of weight-bearing exercises while supporting the body’s joints?

Work hard, without knowing it

The elliptical machine provides weight-bearing benefits, plus:

• Lengthens endurance
• Offers a total body workout
• Low impact
• Raises heart rate

While the eliptical trainer machine supports your body, it also tones, strengths and trims, like no other home gym machine can!

The secret is in the elliptical movement, which matches our body's natural strides.

Features

Check out the features which have made the elliptical workout so popular.

On an eliptical trainer, the adjustable resistance of the pedals allows you to control the intensity of your workout. Push yourself easily onto the next level with electronic or magnetic adjustable resistance settings.

Focusing on the resistance of the foot pedals, you can target different muscle groups.

While most home gyms only provide an upper body workout, the elliptical machine is designed to work your whole body.

Before purchasing ellipticals, make sure that they provide all of these benefits:

• Adjustable resistance
• Adjustable pedals
• Whole-body workout
• Quiet operation

Ellipticals should also adjust to your body size.

Guarantees

The elliptical manufacturer should provide you with a long warranty and service package.

A standard warranty for a quality elliptical machine is 12 months.

Services and warranties on parts vary from 90 days to 3 years.
