In the gym, the common fat-reducing sports equipment are treadmills and elliptical machines.

There are also many fitness people who usually use elliptical machines, but your estimation of the fat-reducing effect of this equipment is uncertain.

Today, let's sort out one or two or three things about fat reduction training on elliptical machines.

Many people may not notice some features of the elliptical machine, and some people who reduce fat may find it more soothing to use this equipment. Is it effective for reducing fat?

● Better protection of joints:

For people with heavy weight in the early stage of fat reduction, it is a more suitable choice to reduce fat by elliptical machine, which has less influence on knee joint than running.

● Enhance the coordination of the body;

Trainers should not only move the lower limbs, but also move the upper limbs by grasping the movable handle, which can enhance the coordination ability of the body and improve the control effect of the central nervous system on muscles.

Low intensity aerobic exercise:

Compared with running, spinning and other relatively intense fat-reducing exercises, elliptical exercise can also improve cardiopulmonary function, help to reduce fat, and at the same time strengthen leg muscles and improve physical fitness in an all-round way.

Elliptical machine seems to be such a simple way to use it. Can you stand up and start?

Although the use of elliptical machine seems so simple, we still need to pay attention to some operating skills and training methods before using it, in order to achieve the purpose of our fat-reducing exercise.

Correct body posture

When exercising on the elliptical machine, keep your head and back straight and don't hunch over. An incorrect posture will cause backache after a period of practice.

Hand-foot coordination is very important.

When using elliptical machine to exercise, we must control the coordination of hands, feet and muscles. Because after the elliptical machine moves, the upper and lower limbs are in a state of confrontation. If the hands and feet are not well matched, it will be particularly awkward to use and will also reduce the effect of reducing fat.

Don't let your feet off the pedal.

Elliptical machine has inertia when it moves. If the sole of your foot leaves the pedal, it is difficult to keep balance if you are not careful, and it is easy to fall and get injured.

The purpose of reducing fat can also be achieved by using an elliptical machine.

Maybe a friend will say: Which is better for reducing fat, the treadmill or the elliptical machine?

In fact, which instrument is better for reducing fat is a comprehensive factor, which is related to everyone's basal metabolic rate and the speed and time of using fat-reducing exercise. Different people have different fat-reducing effects at different time and intensity, so we can't simply compare them with instruments.

In fact, there is no difference between good and bad equipment, but the main training purposes of different equipment are different.

● Treadmill makes it easier for people to reach the training target heart rate and maintain it, thus taking the lead in cardiopulmonary training;

Elliptical machine is the equipment with the highest muscle participation rate and the least sports injury among aerobic equipment, so it has a good performance in weight loss, core strength training and physical coordination.
