Standing on the machine your feet will move in an elongated oval or elliptical pattern while the dual action handle bars includes your upper body in the workout. Depending on the intensity of your workout, the Cross-Trainer will burn between eight and twelve calories a minute, more than a traditional treadmill.

This low-impact machine provides many health and fitness benefits for those who have difficulty exercising because of bad joints or arthritis. While exercising your feet remain in constant contact with the machine at all times eliminating the stress on ankles, shins and knees common to jogging.

The Cross-Trainer uses all of the lower leg muscles, making it a great choice for anyone wishing to strengthen their lower legs. The speed of the machine is determined by your own movement while the amount of resistance determines how much effort it will take to keep moving. When you stop, the machine stops, thus making it safe and easy to use.

The reduced wear and tear on you also means less wear and tear on the machine. This is a very low maintenance machine which uses very little energy to run. The Cross-Trainer is a good home gym choice for just about anyone. It provides a whole-body cardio workout while reducing the impact found in traditional exercise making it a good choice for those who have difficulty exercising due to compromised joints or those looking for an economical solution for a home gym whole body workout.
