Benefits of Elliptical Cross Trainers
Meet your daily aerobic activity requirements without risking an injury by hopping on an elliptical machine. The 2008 Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans recommends all adults participate in at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise, such as elliptical training, each week. Compared to walking and cycling, elliptical training results in greater quadriceps and hamstring co-activation, according to a study published in 2011 in “Gait and Posture.”
