Do you know about all of the benefits of elliptical trainers? If you are already informed of the benefits of elliptical trainers, then you likely have decided to go out and buy one! Yes, the benefits of elliptical trainers are really that good.

In fact, as some people are learning the benefits of elliptical trainers, they are trading in their treadmills (both figuratively and literally) in favor of an elliptical machine.

Here are some of the benefits of elliptical trainers:

• They are low impact. In other words, even persons with problems with their hips, knees, feet, or spine can use elliptical trainers.
• They offer you a chance to get a full body workout. The majority of elliptical machines do not simply work your lower body: they have handles so that you can be working out your upper body at the same time. A full body workout is a more efficient workout – you can work out for a shorter period of time but get a better workout than you can with other fitness equipment.

Here are some of the less obvious benefits of elliptical trainers:

• They are fun! The more fun your workout is, the more likely you are going to continue doing it!
• They generally do not take up as much space as some other fitness equipment.
• To some extend, using an elliptical machine feels like walking on air (if walking on air could make you sweat and burn calories!)
• The machines are relatively easy to use. Both persons who have not exercised in a while and more elderly persons can enjoy using a machine.
• Ellipticals often cost less than their treadmill counterparts.
• Depending on the resistance that you use, etc., you can have either a low intensity or high intensity workout. The machines are great for everyone!
• You can keep a forward motion, or you can switch it up and start moving your feet in the opposite direction.
• They are relatively inexpensive.
• It is easy to set up your elliptical trainer in front of a TV or a window at home so that you can keep yourself entertained. The more entertained you are, the easier it will be for your to continue to workout – it can really help to get your mind off of your workout.

Once you have your own elliptical or start using one at the gym, you are likely going to be able to think of many other benefits of elliptical trainers, as well. Just go ahead and try one and see for yourself!
