Ellipticals

Most people tend to put elliptical trainers and treadmills in the same bag – however there is a huge difference between the two exercise machines. While the treadmill consists of a mechanical track where you can jog, run or simply walk, the elliptical trainer looks more like a skiing device, because of its long, oversized pedals and its handles, which resemble ski poles. The elliptical’s main advantage is that it perfectly simulates your body’s biomechanics when running or jogging, so the possibility of injury or faulty exercising is quite scarce. Another great difference is that the elliptical stimulates your whole body, while treadmills concentrate only on your lower body.
