Does Pedaling Backward on an Elliptical Machine Hurt Your Knees?
The elliptical machine provides an ellipse movement that is similar to a combination between running and a stationary bike or a skiing machine. Many elliptical machines allow you to move in a forward motion or a backward motion. While you might think that going backward on an elliptical machine could be a risk for your knees, the motion can actually provide benefits to the knees, even if you have a knee injury.
