Elliptical trainer??

[kandeycane]

Hi all.
i hope you are all doing well.. My birthday is coming up next month and am considering purchasing an elliptical trainer.. for those nights when i want just a bit more cardio and i can do it right while i watch tv.etc. Anyone know if your heart rate goes up or how intense the workout can be.. i really want one but don't want to regret it..

thanks in advance
Candy

Hi Candy,

I really like the elliptical trainers. Some research has shown that you can get a similar workout to running on a treadmill, but without the impact.

The subjects also were surprised at how hard they were really working because their perceived exertion was lower than on a treadmill.

I would recommend that you get a heavy-duty one. You may want to do a search on www.consumerreports.com, or check online for reviews.
