Elliptical Trainers Are Low Impact

By: Todd Bush

Elliptical trainers provide a great cardio vascular workout but
is low impact. That is there is less pressure, which is put on
the joints of the legs. Thus it's not as strenuous as a
treadmill. Therefore they are ideal for all age groups. Those in
there 60s and 70s, who want to keep fit, can also easily use
them. There are many versions, and options of elliptical
trainers that are available in the market. The cost for an
elliptical trainer starts at $300 and can cost up to $3000
dependent upon the functions and the features of the elliptical
trainer.

To consider an elliptical trainer, one must make sure that it
has a 21" stride. This length is ideal for an average person.
There are many elliptical trainers that also come with a 14"
stride. These are the foldable elliptical trainers, but can be
quite inconvenient. Thus before you actually purchase one, look
at reviews of the elliptical trainers and compare the various
elliptical trainers that are available in the market. The
comparison is done on the basis of cost, the type of material
used, the stride length, the functions and the control panel.

Hence its important that before a purchase decision is made, you
should have read all the reviews. The showroom and well as many
supermarkets also retail the elliptical trainers. Hence you can
make a comparison and reviews of the elliptical trainers can
help you make an informed decision. The various factors that you
should look into are the length of the stride, whether there are
arms or not, the price factors, the various levels of intensity,
the display of the control panel, the warranty that would be
given with the elliptical trainers and your budget.

Of course it will depend on your personal preferences but the
above criteria are a good starting point when selecting your
first elliptical trainer.
