What Is an Elliptical Cross Trainer?
An elliptical cross trainer is a type of stationery exercise equipment that is able to simulate the motion of either walking or running. It differs from a treadmill in that it is known to provide a non-impact workout, which tends to make it easier on the joints. Thus, fewer injuries are experienced with this type of home gym equipment when compared with using a treadmill or running outside. The leg motion made during a workout on an elliptical cross trainer may resemble a mix between the movements made on a stationery bike and a treadmill.
