Elliptical trainers provide an efficient workout and are viable for either gym or home use. "Fitness Magazine" reports that if you weigh 135 lb. you can burn roughly 292 calories during a 30 minute workout.
Non-Impact
Elliptical trainers incorporate the same motion as running but without the impact. This allows you to workout longer without having to worry about placing stress on your joints, tendons and ligaments, and avoid injuries such as shin splints, according to Ellipticaltrainers.com
Resistance
Ellipticaltrainers.com reports that though trainers use the same motion as running, the movement on elliptical machines works on resistance. In order to maximize your workout and calorie burn make sure to be working at a rate of exertion that is a five or above, on a scale of one to 10.
Brands
Not all elliptical machines are the same. If you're looking to purchase a trainer for home use, Ellipticaltrainers.com suggests considering many different aspects including durability, functionality, size and storage -- as well as price.
