Any cardio devices, including elliptical ones, are aimed primarily at strengthening cardiac vessels, improving the performance of the respiratory system, as well as intensively burning fat cells.
An important feature of the elliptical simulator is the provision of an elliptical trajectory of the motion of the pedals, thus enabling them to move forward or backward. This fact allows a complex way to affect the great part of muscle groups: thoracic, dorsal, hip, calf. Thus, the tone of the body rises, and the total body weight decreases. With the help of elliptical trainers, the overall endurance of the organism increases, so that after a while it will be possible to increase the intensity of the sessions and their duration.
Especially popular elliptical trainers have won among women, as they are an excellent alternative to fitness and shaping. By using an effective "ellipsoidal step", you can use certain problem zones that can not be affected by fitness exercises.
Elliptical trainer as a tool for weight loss
It's no secret that you can lose weight by increasing the consumption of calories. In the event that training on an elliptical simulator will be intensive and regular, the maximum number of calories will be burned. For the convenience of their calculation, many manufacturers equip their manufactured products with a certain monitor, which depicts the calories consumed.
There are also known such variants of elliptical trainers that have built-in programs designed specifically to fight cellulite. In this case, the computer monitor will offer the necessary distance, the type of training and time for better results, in a short time.
Indications of the elliptical simulator
An elliptical trainer is precisely the type of simulator that is recommended to people who have all kinds of diseases of the spine and joints, since its movements are slow and cyclical. It creates a moderate load on the necessary muscle groups, the tendon tendons, as well as the ankle and knee joints. With this simulator it is possible to tighten the stomach, strengthen the press, give the skin a resilient and elastic look. For practicing on the elliptical simulator, absolutely any age will suit. People with different levels of physical training are admitted, as the safety of training exercises is quite high, as well as the training of the exercises.
Elliptical trainer at home
Today the elliptical simulator is equated to one of the best simulators used in home conditions. Here there is a large number of different functions, and the stochastic point of view, this simulator has reached perfection, due to which it is an indispensable benefit to the body. As for the issue of placing an elliptical simulator at home, there will not be any difficulties, since it is compact enough and convenient to transport. Some models even have wheels, which allows him to move around the house or apartment.

In a similar simulator, you can simulate any occupation, whether it's a bike trip or walking to the streams, running at different speeds and so on. Any exercise without leaving the apartment.
Elliptical trainers have several varieties
Elliptical simulators are divided into three main types - magnetic, electromagnetic, mechanical.
As for the mechanical models, they are the simplest, and technically quite simple. The peculiarity of the design is that the movements here are not smooth, because the simulator activates the person himself. It is worth noting that the movement itself is not noiseless. The main advantages of this type: price, independence from electricity, compactness and low weight. After the next workout, the simulator can be simply folded and put in a specially designated place.
Magnetic models of elliptical simulators have a specially incorporated magnetic damping system. Thus, noise effects are absent, and the motion is smooth. This kind also has a reasonably inexpensive price, with all that it is possible to set a certain load on it, including braking, without the presence of jerks. The main advantage is the wide variety of different training.
Electromagnetic elliptical trainers have the presence of an electromagnetic braking system. Such a system does not depend on the rotation of the pedals, but is controlled by a computer processor. This type of elliptical simulator is the most modern and multifunctional. The built-in computer can independently select the necessary load, which will be an effective option in achieving the desired result. Electromagnetic types of elliptical simulators have a significant price. At the same time, they are absolutely noiseless, durable and wear-resistant.
The prices for elliptical simulators are completely different, they can fluctuate significantly. A fairly simple elliptical simulator that allows only to run, step, ski walking and bicycle has a price of about six thousand rubles. The highest price of the simulator can reach several hundred thousand rubles. A simulator like the price has a lot of the latest technological innovations and achievements.
