Ellipticals

The elliptical, or cross trainer as it’s sometimes known, is a machine that you’ll find in almost every commercial gym in the country, and for good reason! Ellipticals help to give you a full-body workout at your own pace, and are a great low-impact option to get your heart pumping and blood flowing. It’s also great for post-injury cardio, as it works lots of different muscle groups, meaning there isn’t too much intensity on one part of the body, and its low-impact setup means that there are no jolts or hits that might put pressure on your joints. It’s also a great choice if you struggle with your core strength or balance, as the handles add an extra layer of stability, and they can also be used to give your upper body a good warm-up too! Ellipticals can be used by people of all abilities and fitness levels, so they’re a really versatile choice if your home gym is going to have multiple users.
