Buying an Elliptical Trainer?
Read My Definitive Reviews First!

Elliptical trainers are booming in popularity, and are rapidly taking center stage as the first choice in home exercise equipment.

These trainers deliver a superb cardio workout and have great low impact training benefits, producing an intermediate range of leg motion between that of stationary bikes and treadmills.

Unlike other workout equipment such as treadmills, elliptical machines do not cause joint stress. They also work particularly well for beginners as well as seasoned athletes.

There are now elliptical machines which you can use in the comfort of your own home without worrying about space limitations. You can read my review of the top 3 space saving trainers here. This is one of my most popular pages!

Why Should You Own an Elliptical Trainer?

According to the Mayo Clinic, there are 10 great reasons to get physical. The elliptical trainer can help you and here are the top 3 reasons why!

Exercise Anytime

If you are like me, you prefer to exercise early in the morning just to clear your head and get a great start to the day. Other people like to exercise in the evening, perhaps after putting the kids to bed, by which time driving to the gym is not an option.

The beauty of owning a trainer in your own home is that you can exercise any time in line with your own schedule. You can carve your booty and get on with your busy day!

Convenience

Sometimes bad weather can make outdoor activities impractical. Rain or snow really saps my enthusiasm to exercise outside, and living in Spain excessive temperatures are just as bad here in Summer! Owning a compact training machine at home gives you the convenience of training at any time regardless of outdoor conditions.

For some people, working out in public at the gym may make them feel uncomfortable. If you are the shy type, you can still use home workout equipment such as an elliptical trainer to exercise in comfort.

Total Body Workout

Total Body Workout

Reviews have shown that elliptical machines, unlike some other workout equipment, allow you to exercise your full body from shoulders to calves. Wow! Here are my recommended best workouts. I've also just started a page with MY OWN elliptical workout plans - click here to find them.

This is because the machine is engineered to target each part of your body. You can stack the moves – exercising more than one body part at a time!!

Read my Report on the benefits of elliptical machines here which covers this subject in great detail.

I think everyone can benefit from regular exercise. The low impact/great cardio workout of an elliptical trainer make this machine an excellent piece of home exercise equipment.

I highly recommend you get one!
