to treadmill exercises." He went on to conclude that "both exercise machines are effective for

increasing the amount of calories burned and for producing cardio respiratory health and training

benefits..."

Finally, one feature which is often overlooked about elliptical trainers is the ability to add

variety to your aerobic workout. Whenever anyone is on an exercise plan, one of the biggest

challenges he faces is to stay motivated and interested in his workouts. With the treadmill, the

ability to change the incline, as well as the intensity are big pluses, which has contributed to

its popularity over the last decade.

The elliptical trainer matches these features and has a few additional ones of its own.

First, we spoke earlier of the dual action handlebars. Well as an exerciser, in addition to

changing the cross ramp incline (which is available in Precor models,

http://www.elliptical-trainers-review.com/precor_elliptical_trainer.htm) as well as varying the

intensity, you also have the option to not use the handlebar and ONLY focus on your lower body.

Although this option is not used often, it DOES add variety to your workout. Also, you can vary

the intensity in more ways. You can increase the speed of you motion with or without changing the

difficulty level of the stride. With treadmills you have to manually change the speed level to

increase your speed.

However, the most critical feature, and what separates the elliptical trainer from many other

exercise machines when it comes to variety, is the forward and reversible feature on the foot

pedals. When you are going forward, you feel like a cross country skier hitting the long slopes.

However, when you reverse your pedal motion, you can target your lower body in a completely

different way. Without question, you are targeting your quadricep muscles and will soon feel them

burn after a few minutes.

Although it is too early to state that elliptical machines will dethrone the treadmill as the

exercise equipment of choice, you can bet that they will give them a good run for their money. If

you look at all the health clubs and rehab clinics, you will soon realize that elliptical

trainers are more than just a fad and are here to stay.
