What is an elliptical machine?
Elliptical machines are large pieces of equipment used to provide you with an aerobic or cardiovascular workout. Regular aerobic exercise helps you lose weight and manage your blood pressure, and is part of an overall program to prevent and manage heart disease, diabetes, cancer and many other chronic conditions. To get the most benefit from your workout, it is important to do a variety of activities. Using machines such as the elliptical can help you change up your workout and provide a good cross-training option if you tend to do the same activities all the time.
