How to choose the elliptical machine correctly?
Focus 1: the technology of adjusting motion resistance

There are many brands of elliptical machines in the market, and the quality and technology are also uneven. Some brands do not update their technology for a long time, but also use the physical contact elements of low-end braking devices to adjust the motion resistance, which is noisy. At present, the mainstream elliptical machines use magnetic control technology to adjust the motion resistance, and at the same time rely on flywheel inertia and reluctance to control the strength and motion rhythm, thus reducing the friction between components, reducing noise and improving the service life of elliptical machines.

Focus 2: Elliptical Machine Flywheel

As we all know, the motion of elliptical machine is mainly driven by flywheel, which is divided into front flywheel and rear flywheel. These two kinds of flywheels have their own advantages and disadvantages, and consumers can choose according to their own conditions and needs. First of all, for the front flywheel elliptical machine, its design is more fashionable and trendy, it takes up more space, its technology is more complicated, the flywheel is more stable and its maintenance is more convenient, so its general price is higher and it is suitable for families with higher budgets. The design of the rear flywheel elliptical machine is slightly bulky, but it occupies a small area and is suitable for small families. In addition, the front flywheel and the rear flywheel are slightly different in sports experience. The front flywheel is more stable and relaxed, like walking on the ground; The rear flywheel has a faster pace and consumes more fat.

It is worth mentioning that the weight of the flywheel is not as heavy as the legend. Generally, the weight of flywheel of household elliptical machine is more than 5 kg. If the overweight flywheel does not match the corresponding technology and materials, it will have the opposite effect on the sports experience.

Focus 3: stride length

The stride length of elliptical machine refers to the distance crossed after each step is completed on elliptical machine. For adults, the stride length of elliptical machine should reach at least 35cm, and the best stride length can reach more than 50cm. However, the bigger the stride, the better. Consumers can stand up and experience when shopping, and what suits them is the best.

Focus 4: Mute effect

Consumers should take the noise index as a key reference point when purchasing elliptical machines. Especially when the family population is large, the mute effect directly affects the family's work and rest. High-quality ellipse will adopt high-precision and wear-resistant joints to effectively control the noise within the ideal range. The mute index represents the technological level of the product. For example, poor accessories and poor design may cause mechanical friction and bring unnecessary abnormal noise.

Focus 5: After-sales problem

An elliptical machine weighs several hundred kilograms, so it is not easy to assemble and disassemble it. If there is a problem, it will be even more troublesome. Unload the machine, repackage it, send it to the store, and then wait for the goods to be received ... In this tedious process, the professional guidance and responsible attitude of the merchants are extremely important, which precisely reflects the after-sales service quality of this brand.

Motion tips of elliptical machine:

1 Don't shrug, keep straight, and avoid hunchback or excessive reclining.

Try not to lift your heels when exercising.

Keep your arms slightly bent, not excessively bent or straight.

Wear loose and comfortable clothes and shoes.

5 You can twist the waist properly, which is beneficial to quickly eliminate waist fat.

6 Drink plenty of water to avoid dehydration.
