An elliptical trainer is a popular piece of exercise equipment designed to provide a low-impact cardiovascular workout. It simulates activities like running or walking while minimizing stress on the joints, making it suitable for people of all fitness levels. Users stand on two pedals that move in an elliptical motion, allowing for a smooth and fluid exercise experience. Most elliptical trainers come with adjustable resistance levels and built-in workout programs, enabling users to customize their workouts. Many models also feature handles for an upper body workout, engaging both the arms and legs simultaneously. This versatility makes the elliptical trainer a favored choice in gyms and home fitness setups.
