What Muscles Are Targeted on the Elliptical?

 

What Muscles Are Targeted on the Elliptical?

An elliptical trainer machine is a cross between a stair machine and a stationary bike. To use it, you step on a set of peddles and hold on to a bar as you pump your legs. The machine is easy on your joints and can be used as a replacement for walking, running or stair climbing to give you a low-impact, cardiovascular exercise which you can set the level of resistance for. An elliptical machine targets several muscles, including your hips, thighs, and butt.
