a “preferred pattern of movement.” When you jump on an elliptical machine, the

pedals move in an egg-shape or oval “preferred pattern,” creating a rhythmic,

smooth movement that works your body—without any stress on the back or joints.

The first elliptical was created by Precor in 1995. A key component of the

'elliptical machines’ success was due to the fact that a beginner and expert

fitness enthusiast alike could jump on and receive a superior workout in a

With each year, elliptical trainers have improved. Today’s handles pump in

perfect coordination with the pedals, enhancing the workout tremendously. In

technological benefits, each new model and style machine has additional

monitors, features and more for your use.

With the addition of a variety of exciting fitness programs into premier

machines, the fitness community has a great machine to achieve a range of

exercise goals. Since the elliptical machine mimics the natural movements of

your body, you can easily and effectively burn calories, tone your body and more

through its unique motions. Monitor your workout with the added speed, time and

fitness level readings on the panel in front of you throughout the length of

your workout.

As the number of distributors and manufacturers of elliptical machines

increases, the competitive nature is sure to bring new and exciting features and

benefits to the machine. Give yourself a great workout on an elliptical machine
