What is an elliptical machine? Minus what is better than a treadmill swing stepper

In general health clubs, elliptical machines are a fairly common cardiopulmonary fitness training tool and are also widely loved by users. The movement of the elliptical machine is similar to the movement of cross-country skiing, so the English name of the elliptical is also called elliptical cross-trainer. Although the elliptical machine was designed for a short time, it was developed quite quickly because it was loved by the public.

In fact, the training effect of the elliptical machine is similar to that of the stepper and treadmill, which means that the elliptical machine has been proven to be an effective aerobic fitness training tool. Researchers of exercise physiology need to conduct detailed research and standardization on variables such as the speed of the elliptical pedaling frequency (some literature is calculated by the number of steps of two feet, and some are calculated by the number of laps completed by one foot), the size of resistance, and the amplitude of the step length (including the influence of height difference), so that the general public who use elliptical machines can indeed enjoy the benefits of elliptical exercise.

Steppers and elliptical machines are both very popular sports equipment nowadays, and many people don't know which one to choose when they buy them, and the two do look very similar.

The volume of the stepper will be smaller, but it can only be said to belong to the peripheral products of sports and fitness, so it does not belong to the mainstream fitness equipment! The applicable value is not large, but it should be preferred, and it is more suitable for the elderly. A professional elliptical can work the lower back, legs, and upper body muscle groups.

The impact is small, not easy to cause sports injuries, and it is more suitable for self-exercise at home.

Elliptical machines and steppers are mainly compared in terms of motion effect, power consumption effect, safety and other aspects. Europe and the United States prefer the simplicity of elliptical machines to achieve the effect of exercise. Everyone needs their own space, without disturbing others and without noise.

The same effect can be achieved with elliptical machines. On the other hand, Chinese prefer treadmills, which is an effective way to exercise. The home is big enough, the speed of the treadmill is controllable, and the movement is passive.

There is a certain amount of noise and energy consumption.

The outer packaging of the stepper is simple, environmentally friendly and practical, and it can protect the machine well during transportation. At first glance, it is very useful. The manufacturer shipped quickly, and the express delivery had nothing to say.

During the exercise, the soles of the feet are also well massaged. The manual is self-explanatory and easy to use. Both the elderly and children can learn.

The stepper is easy to operate, and many people can watch TV while exercising, which is very casual. It can be moved in both directions. All feet were massaged.

In the process of building foot strength, the whole foot is also relaxed. The machine is simple and practical, suitable for the whole family to exercise together.

It is to adjust a certain resistance. Don't hunch, tighten your core, feel like squatting, don't let your knees go over your toes, don't use your feet to exert force, use your hips to exert force, when you **, you can feel your muscles sore, if it doesn't feel enough, you can increase, you will find more and more soreness! That means you're exercising properly.

It is best to pedal for ten to fifteen minutes. Don't forget to do a hip stretch when you step on it!

The difference between the stepper and the elliptical machine is that the stepper targets more parts and consumes more calories, but the burden on the body will increase, and the elliptical machine will be relatively relaxed.

The volume of the stepper will be smaller, but it can only be said to belong to the peripheral products of sports and fitness, so it does not belong to the mainstream fitness equipment! The applicable value is not large, but it should also be a preference, which is more suitable for the elderly. A professional elliptical machine can work the muscles of the waist, legs and upper body.

The impact is small and it is not easy to cause sports injuries, so it is more suitable for independent exercise at home.

**The effect also depends on the type and intensity of the exercise, and is not particularly related to the equipment. The disadvantage of treadmills is that sports injuries are large (mainly knee injuries), while elliptical machines and exercise bikes are basically harmless. Treadmills help athletes to walk and run passively on the running belt.

In addition to the basic running functions, the treadmill usually has functions such as speed change, slope adjustment, shock absorption, step counting, heart rate test, exercise program setting, and multi-functional fitness.

Both elliptical and treadmill are aerobic exercises that work muscles throughout the body. The exercise intensity of the elliptical machine is small, mainly to exercise the coordination of the human body, stretch the muscles of the body, stretch the body, and cause little damage to the knees. The treadmill has a high exercise intensity and is the first choice for whole-body exercise, cardiopulmonary exercise.

The damage to the knees is relatively large, and you need to pay attention to your posture and running shoes. You can choose according to your workout needs. If you buy it, I recommend going to the store to try it.

1.The treadmill is driven back and forth by a motor that helps the athlete to walk and run passively on the running belt. In addition to the basic running functions, the treadmill usually has functions such as speed change, slope adjustment, shock absorption, step counting, heart rate test, exercise program setting, and multi-functional fitness.

2.The advantages of treadmill fitness are large exercise space, fast calorie consumption, and mature related technology and research; The disadvantage of treadmills is that there are large sports injuries (mainly knee injuries).

3.Treadmill fitness is suitable for people. It is suitable for young and middle-aged people who do not have leg joint injuries, especially for friends who like strenuous exercise and those who need ** (fast calorie consumption).

4.**。Treadmills have high requirements for motors, noise control, shock absorption, sports and so on.

So the treadmill is slightly higher than the elliptical. Although some domestic brands of treadmills are only sold for less than 2,000 yuan, mainstream brands and models of domestic treadmills are usually more than 3,000 yuan.

Comparatively speaking, the fat burning effect of the treadmill is slightly higher than that of the elliptical machine, which is easier**; The difference between a treadmill and an elliptical machine is that the parts of the workout are different.

The elliptical machine is a little safer than the treadmill, and the elliptical machine exercise is more comprehensive to the body, which can effectively exercise the whole body; The design of the treadmill is relatively simple, and the protection of the body is relatively small.

Compared with these two machines, it should be easier to treadmill**, the difference is that the way of exercising is different, and the help for the body is also different.
