This machine works all the muscles in your body, including your abs.
The elliptical trainer is selected individually for height and weight.
Important: If not one person, but several, will be engaged in the training apparatus, then the height and weight of the tallest and heaviest person is taken as a basis.
It is also necessary to pay attention to its characteristics, which are responsible for the ergonomics of the training apparatus:
- stride length;
- step trajectory;
- distance between pedals;
- distance to handles.
These parameters directly affect the comfort and efficiency of your workouts.
The parameter that is selected in relation to height is the length of the stride, the indicators of which are reflected in a special table, which is attached when buying a training apparatus.
The universal step indicator is 51 cm, suitable for any height. The exception is short people.
The path of movement of the pedals should have a low height and the minimum inclination of the pedal. This is ensured by the long pitch, front flywheel position and frame lengths of 170 cm and above.
Also one of the most important parameters is the distance between the pedals. It should not exceed 10 cm. This corresponds to the distance of the legs during natural running.
The ideal distance to the handles should be up to 70-77 cm for people of average height.
The loading system is: magnetic; electromagnetic; magnetic with an electric drive.
The electromagnetic and electromagnetic with the drive have a training program and a load adjustment with a console.
The electromagnetic system allows you to adjust the load with medical precision.
The flywheel mass is as follows. The greater the mass, the smoother the pedals and the greater the load range of the training apparatus.
All training apparatus on the market measure the pulse by handles, the results of which are displayed on the console.
When measuring the heart rate on the palms, there is a certain error.
Important: To avoid an error in measuring your heart rate during training, you should additionally purchase a chest cardio sensor.
The chest heart rate sensor measures the pulse with almost no errors!
Before you install the treadmill, you need to adjust the legs so that it sits firmly and level on the floor surface.
Happy training!
