Exercise Equipment - Elliptical Trainers

An elliptical trainer (also cross trainer) is a stationary exercise equipment used to simulate walking or running without causing pressure to the joints and hence decreases the risk of impact injuries. Elliptical trainers offer a non-impact cardiovascular workout that can vary from light to high intensity based on the resistance preference. Most elliptical trainers work the user's upper and lower body (although some models do not have moving upper body components), although using an elliptical trainer is designed to elevate the heart rate more than building muscles. Some elliptical trainers (including the one shown) have a tall handle attached to each pedal. Many consumer models found in sporting good and big-box retail stores can only handle users weighing no more than 200-250 lbs, and cost $1000 (US) or less. Higher end consumer elliptical machines found in speciality stores with brand names such as , Octane Fitness, Life Fitness which can accomodate users up to 400 lbs, and Precor can accomodate users of any weight and range from $1799 to $4000 (US).
