Elliptical trainers mimic the natural movement of the ankle, knee and hip joints during walking, jogging or running. When you walk or run, each step causes a jolt to your body and this effects your joints and lower back. As your feet never leave the pedals on an elliptical, this impact stress is greatly reduced. Elliptical trainers not only offer a low impact alternative to the treadmill, but they also simultaneously work other muscle groups. You can combine both an upper and lower body workout and target your quads, hamstrings, glutes, chest, back, triceps and biceps.
It is also suggested that an elliptical allows you to optimize your energy; meaning you are actually burning more calories and exercising harder than you would think! The NordicTrack Elite 11.0 Elliptical has a drive mechanism at the front of the machine which provides a design that accommodates adjustable stride and incline while maintaining a small home footprint. Engineered for incredible smoothness the 14kg inertia-enhanced flywheel delivers a stable, more natural-feeling ride.
