Looking for a cross trainers fitness regime? Want to be amongst the few with good well shaped body. Cross trainers are excellent exercising machine which offer a unique health solution.

An elliptical trainer is a stationary cardio machine used to simulate walking or sprinting without causing excessive pressure to the knee joints and hence decreasing the risk of impact injuries. These elliptical trainers offer a less impact Cardio workouts that can vary from light to high intensity based on the resistance preference set by the user. Though fitness elliptical trainers are considered to be minimal-impact, they are an example of a weight-bearing form of exercise.

There are basically two major benefits of an elliptical trainer- the low impact and the upper and lower body workout. Both these benefits need to be qualified since elliptical trainers are often marketed as having no impact and giving a total body workout. Elliptical trainer workouts are safe on the joints and provide a no impact workout (as opposed to a treadmill where your feet hit the deck with every step). This is ideal for people with back, knee, hips and joint problems as well as older people looking for a no-impact workout. While using an elliptical machine gives you a no-impact workout, the resistance exercise still helps to build bone density and fight off osteoporosis.

Because most elliptical trainers incorporate upper body arms, elliptical workouts tend to involve the whole body and give you an overall better workout - meaning you burn more calories in less time. Elliptical trainers have also been proven to offer a lower 'Perceived Rate of Exertion' when working out. This means that you're doing more work and burning more calories while feeling like you put out less effort.
