Elliptic simulator - usefulness, accessibility, diversity

A worthy place in all gyms is an elliptical simulator. The use of it does not cause doubts no one else. It not only helps to successfully get rid of extra centimeters and kilograms, but also stimulates the work of the heart, strengthens the blood vessels. During classes on an ellipsoid, almost all the muscles of a person work, and this allows you to give up additional simulators. In addition, such training develops endurance. Virtually no contraindications to use an elliptical trainer - the benefit of it is palpable at any age, even in the absence of any physical preparation. It does not harm joints, so even people with not the strongest musculoskeletal system can exercise.

Many people refuse to attend gyms due to lack of time and prefer to purchase an elliptical trainer for home use. How to choose the most suitable model? It is necessary to start from several parameters, among which the type of the simulator, the type of nutrition, the growth, the weight of the trainees, the price, and the compactness.

Answering the question about how to choose an elliptical trainer for a home, it is necessary to first determine the diversity available on the market. First, the type of ellipsoids is divided into semi-professional, professional and domestic. The latter, as the name implies, is excellent for apartments and private houses, due to their relatively small weight and compactness. They are not designed for round-the-clock work, unlike the professional models purchased by gyms. For home it is also possible to purchase a semi-professional ellipsoid. It combines an acceptable weight and a fairly intensive work.

Also, all elliptical trainers can be divided into magnetic, magnetic, electronically controlled, electromagnetic or induction.

Magnetic simulators are the simplest and cheapest. They are equipped with a display, where the speed is displayed, the kilometers traveled, calories, pulse. Special programs they do not have, the load is regulated by a rotating tumbler under the display. In addition to low cost, there is another advantage - there is no binding to the outlet, that is, it can be installed anywhere.

Electronic adjustment of magnetic ellipsoids allows you to set different training programs at your discretion. However, for their work, there must be nearby electricity.

Rehabilitation centers, professional athletes, mainly choose an induction (electromagnetic) elliptical simulator - the benefit of this model is to more accurately establish the parameters of the load. There are models operating from the network, but there are also generator options.

As for specific parameters, it is better for high people to give preference to trainers with a rear flywheel arrangement, while for small growth front-wheel drive is more convenient. In addition, with high growth, it is worth choosing a step length of 51 cm and a base length of at least 190 cm. If you select the lower parameters that an elliptical trainer is characterized, the benefit can turn into anguish and pain in the knees. The low people do not have such problems - they can choose a simulator with any characteristics, including the ability to watch movies and access the Internet.
