Unlike the other machines, the ellipticals trainer provides for a total body workout. This is possible because your lower body is being exercised by the movements of the foot pedal while the upper body is being developed through the handlebars. Of course, the lower body takes most of the exercise benefits since 70 percent of the power to perform the exercise comes from it. The upper body provides the 30 percent, said ratio of which cannot be said of the exercise machines like the stair climbers and treadmills.

Most elliptical trainers offer incline and or tension that you can increase or decrease while workout out. Try building in 30 second incline intervals every couple of minutes to your workout.

This will not only push your body further and burn more calories during your workout – but it can also elevate your calorie burn for up to 24 hours after your workout.
