Cross
trainers have helped millions of people achieve weight loss and fitness goals. How a
cross trainer performs this is through burning excess calories via cardiovascular
workouts, which can improve the strength and health of your heart and lungs.
Cross trainers exercise the lower and upper body by providing resistance to the
muscles of the legs, chest, arms and shoulders. Legs and arms move in a criss-cross
fashion, performing a total body workout to tone and strengthen your muscles. Unlike
treadmills, cross trainers are a perfect alternative as they don’t impact on the muscle
or joints as much, and will make working out enjoyable and worthwhile.
There are many reasons to buying a cross trainer. One of the greatest benefits of
owning a cross trainer is that you can exercise in the privacy of your own home, and
can be used at anytime whether day or night. At Lifespan we offer quality cross
trainers with tonnes of features at affordable prices.
Cross
trainers, also known as elliptical trainers have been growing in popularity. If you do
not prefer running but still want a good cardio workout, cross trainers are perfect as
they are the closest action you can get to running without the jarring. Its motion
involves a mix of cross-country skiing and slow running. It uses both your upper and
lower body unlike in exercise bikes or recumbent bikes where you’re just sitting
down.
If you wish to try out our range of cross trainers, be sure to pop down to your
nearest Lifespan showroom for further assistance.
An
elliptical trainer typically uses footpads that travel elliptically under operator
pressure and poles that are operated by the arms and shoulders. The poles and footpads
are operated in sync with each other to provide a full body workout. The margins of
difference will be minimal but generally elliptical trainers demand upper and lower
body co-ordination while steppers only demand lower body only, and are easier to
use.
In terms of muscle workout, elliptical tend to work out the same muscles as steppers
and more. Given that there is the additional upper body movement, the elliptical
machines will exercise calves, thighs, hips and gluts as well as arms, shoulders and
upper chest.
