What Are Elliptical trainers?

Elliptical trainers have taken the fitness industry by storm in recent years thank to the low impact, weight bearing aerobic workout they provide. These machines offer an efficient, high intensity workout without endangering delicate or injury prone joints. Elliptical trainers require the lower body to move in a way that combines cycling with stair climbing as the feet move in a special egg shaped elliptical pattern without ever leaving the footpads. The upper body also can be incorporated, which makes the workout resemble a walking or running stride even more.
