The elliptical cross trainer weren’t something I knew a lot about. I knew all about treadmills. Few years ago I tried to exercise on a treadmill machine, but I didn’t enjoy the ride. They were loud, cumbersome and I didn’t like the feeling of my feet slapping against the moving tread. My knees got hurt, and besides that, I had a lot of trouble just keeping my balance.
As you know, there are people who don’t like to work out, and I’m among them. I like the feeling I have after a good exercise, but it is hard for me to get motivated to work out at all. I enjoy some sort of distraction while exercising. After I gained 20 pounds, I realized I had to do something. The aerobic videos I’ve tried were just too much for me. I joined a gym but never had the time to get there. My husband said that we buy an elliptical trainer for our home. We began to research which elliptical machine would give us the most bang for our buck.
One of the Sole elliptical machines was our choice. This machine has a lot of advantages, but the silent workout it provides is absolutely the best. I am able to watch my TV show and exercise at the same time because I placed my elliptical trainer in my living room. I don’t have to have the television volume turned to a deafening level just to be able to hear over the sound of the elliptical. Elliptical machine is a super quiet piece of fitness equipment, when compared to treadmill.
The other feature I enjoy in this elliptical machine is that the footpad you use will move together with your feet. This means that the footpad will raise together with my foot. A moving tread is not something your feet will hit all th time. It is a fluid motion and since the arm bars move along with you while you are in the running/jogging motion, you are able to keep your balance and feel like you are getting a total body workout with this piece of fitness equipment.
The treadmill will no longer be my exercising buddy, now the elliptical trainer is what I enjoy most in.
