The ellipse trainer is a rather unusual unit, which successfully combines the functions of a treadmill and a stepper. In addition to the complex effect on the respiratory systems and heart, this type of simulator has a strengthening effect on the muscles, ligaments and joints of a person.
Sizes and Demand
For almost 10 years, the ellipse trainer, the use of which has already been repeatedly proven, remains an effective device. So, if a few years ago it was a bulky, not always convenient to use simulator, now it is more compact, so it is in great demand.
Women favorite
Nowadays, rarely does any gym go without such equipment. This is not necessary to be surprised, since it is the ellipse trainer that many people choose to perform effective cardio exercises. In addition, women loved this simulator very much, as during training it strengthens the muscles of the buttocks, hips and legs, minimizes the load on the ankle, and also strengthens the upper body, namely the pectoral muscles, shoulders and arms.
Training duration
First, we recommend doing this machine for about 20 minutes a day. Over time, bring the duration of classes to 1 hour. But if you have the mood and strength, a lesson of 1.5 hours will not hurt you. It is noteworthy that in an hour of classes you can burn about 300 kcal, but here everything will depend on your physical condition and the intensity of the workout.
You need oxygen!
During training, be sure to open the window (even in winter), so that the body is saturated with oxygen. It should be noted that the fungal microflora, which often accompanies various forms of depression, genital candidiasis, irritable bowel syndrome and dysbiosis, does not like oxygen.
"Treat" the intestines
Unpleasant sensations in the intestines and stomach noticeably weaken even during exercise. At about 2-3 days, flatulence, constipation and diarrhea noticeably weaken. The energy that the body previously spent on maintaining spasms of the biliary tract and intestines will now be spent on physical activity. Regular and intensive exercises contribute to the normalization of intestinal motility, the regulation of its work.
Take care of your knees and ankle!
What can we get using an ellipse trainer, reviews about which are only encouraging? Compared to other sports equipment that provides aerobic exercise, this device is non-aggressive to the knee and ankle joints. Indeed, with an elliptical movement, the legs are always bent, resulting in minimal load on the joints.
Advantages of installing a simulator at home
For classes, you can purchase a subscription to the fitness center. If the area of the apartment allows you, you can buy it home. You do not have to adapt to the schedule of classes in the fitness club - you can independently choose the optimal duration and time of training.
Return stroke
A big plus of such a simulator is the reverse function, because when moving in the opposite direction, a person can develop muscles that are not involved in classes on other cardiovascular machines.
Preparation
Before class, you need to stretch yourself, for which you need to configure the computer built into the ellipse trainer for a light load. By doing this, in a short time you will warm up the muscles and be able to prepare them for future loads. After warming up, gradually increase the intensity of the exercises.
Graduation
It is important to remember that at the time of maximum exertion, you should not stop training, thinking that today is enough. It is recommended to smoothly reduce the intensity of movements, and then get off the simulator.
