About
An elliptical trainer is a stationary cardio machine featuring pedals that guide the feet along a continuous, oval-shaped path. Many models include movable handles linked to the pedals, allowing the arms and legs to move in tandem. The feet remain supported throughout the alternating leg movements. Since the machine is suitable for a variety of cardio activities, this text describes how to use it rather than prescribing a specific workout.
How to do it
- 1Hold onto the stationary handles for balance, step onto one pedal and then the other; place each foot securely on the platform.
- 2Stand upright over the pedals; if you intend to use the moving handles, grasp them at a comfortable distance.
