Cross trainer is exercise equipment that provides the benefits of cross country skiing, hiking and biking. You can find the combined movements of treadmill, stair climber and the exercise bike in this equipment. It is also called as Elliptical exercise machine or Elliptical bike. Your legs move in an elongated circular motion with this machine. The benefits of cross trainer are wide and varied. The compact size of the equipment makes it a favorite of those who are staying in apartments. Also noise would not be an issue with cross trainers as with other exercise machines.

The greatest advantage is that it reduces the impact thereby eliminating wear and tear on your joints. Vast amount of stress is exerted on the back and joints while you jog. This happens due to your weight. Jogging may negatively affect your ankles, knees and back. When you exercise with cross trainer, your limbs keep constant contact with the machine, thereby reducing the impact to your joints. The equipment is also best suited for patients suffering from bad joints and arthritis.

Cross trainers are highly advantageous for those who want to burn extra calories. Depending on the intensity, in fact you can burn more calories than is possible with treadmill or exercise bike. Per minute you can burn between 8 to 12 calories. If you are interested in exercising your whole body, including your upper body, you can use one with dual action handle bars. The machine builds and makes your lower legs strong by using all of the muscles. Another significant advantage is that you can move at your own pace. High intensities are also possible for fitness enthusiasts.

The equipment is perfectly safe to use. The amount of resistance on a cross trainer will decide the efforts needed to keep your feet in motion. Your own movement will determine the speed. It is also the best cardio equipment available which can be used at the comfortable atmosphere of your home. The energy consumption of the machine is less and as such it is highly economical. Compared to other exercise machines, its maintenance requirement is very low as the wear and tear is negligible.

While using the machine you should take a comfortable standing position, keeping the spine in a neutral position, with a straight back. It is highly important to keep the hips, knees and ankles in proper alignment. Distribution of the weight should be done between the heels and the balls of the feet. You should also grip the handrails in a smooth motion and must either stride forward or reverse, working through a full natural range of movements. You have the option to select between two types of cross trainers. The Belt one is designed for a basic workout whereas the Magnetic one provides more resistance programs. Those who are looking for more levels of training and quieter versions should go for the latter ones. If you do adequate research and buy a cross trainer according to your individual needs, it would really prove to be an asset to your health.
