Although ellipticals have existed for fewer than 20 years, they seem to be everywhere. They're one of the most popular options at gyms, and they're quickly capturing a growing share of the home-equipment market, too. Those who have never tried one may wonder, "why are ellipticals so popular, anyway?"
They're challenging. Because the newest ellipticals engage the upper and lower body, they provide a vigorous cardiovascular workout that is challenging for all fitness levels. The resistance on most elliptical machines can also be adjusted, so that the workout remains challenging even as the user becomes more fit.
They're fun. Elliptical machines engage almost all of the major muscles in a rhythmic swinging motion. At low resistance, some users report that it reminds them of playground equipment. And even when the resistance is increased, it's easy to read or watch TV while using ellipticals -so the time is more likely to fly by.
They're safe. The oval motion of elliptical machines them easier on the joints than some other high-impact exercises, such as running and jumping rope. And because the newer models include hand grips, ellipticals can be used even by beginners who are still developing their balance.
They're effective. By engaging most of the body's major muscles, ellipticals burn more calories per hour than most other forms of exercise. This makes ellipticals especially effective as part of an overall weight-loss program.
These are just a few of the reasons ellipticals have quickly become one of the most popular machines in the fitness industry.
