Which is better, the stepper or the elliptical machine?
There is no clear statement about which effect is better with elliptical treadmills. Each has its own advantages, depending on its own needs.
The running opportunity is smaller, but it can only be said that it belongs to the peripheral products of sports and fitness, not to the mainstream fitness equipment! The application value is not great, but it should be a preference, which is more suitable for the elderly. Professional elliptical machine can exercise the muscles of waist, legs and upper body. Small shocks are not easy to cause sports injuries, and are more suitable for self-exercise at home.
Elliptical machine and treadmill are mainly compared in sports effect, electrical effect and safety. Europe and the United States prefer elliptical machines to be simple and achieve sports effects. Each needs its own space, which does not affect others and has no noise. Elliptical machines can also run and have the same sports effect. People in China prefer the treadmill, which is an effective way to exercise. The home is big enough, the speed of the treadmill is controllable and passive. There is a certain noise and energy consumption.
In fact, the key to choosing a treadmill or an elliptical machine depends on your own preferences.
The feeling of using treadmill
The outer packaging of the stepper is simple, environmentally friendly and practical, which can protect the machine well during transportation. At first glance, it looks very classy. The delivery speed of the manufacturer is very fast, and the express delivery has nothing to say. In the process of foot movement, the soles of the feet are also well massaged. The instructions are clear and easy to understand, and easy to use. Old people and children can learn as soon as they learn.
This machine is exquisite in workmanship, simple and practical. Simple operation. My son immediately tried it, watching TV while exercising, which was very casual. You can move in two directions. The whole foot was massaged. In the process of exercising foot strength, the whole foot has also been relaxed. This machine is simple and practical, suitable for the whole family to exercise together.
This treadmill is especially suitable for girls who don't like to go out. For example, when I stepped on it for 20 minutes, my knees were hot and sweaty, and my arms obviously felt sore! I bought a sports suit, similar to a raincoat. You should sweat more when you put on exercise!
I'm sorry to say, but I'm actually a morning runner. But I'm afraid of dogs. There are too many dogs near my home. There are dogs running around in the community, and there are dogs running around in the community. The point is that big dogs and puppies are so diligent! ! ! You can meet all kinds of dogs when you go out after five o'clock, and then run home in fear. I planted Decathlon, a household treadmill. There is a sound, but it is the friction sound of the rotation of the pedal's circular shaft, not the sound of contact with the floor, so I don't think it will disturb the people. Small size, no space. The best part is that after only walking for 30 minutes on the first day, my neck and back are sweating. I have satisfied this effect!
Experience in using elliptical machine
Speaking of aerobic, people who can't swim but are afraid of running love elliptical machines. Step on it for 30 or 40 minutes every other day, sometimes with variable speed. Especially comfortable after sweating. It is great to exercise at home without going downstairs, especially in winter. This flywheel weighs 9kg, and its cost performance is still very good. Generally, the flywheel is above 5kg, otherwise it will waste time. There are too many elliptical machines on the market, which are uneven. Finally, I chose a beautiful and compact one with low cost performance.
In fact, many people don't know that elliptical machines can practice ass. I'm a person who never steps on an elliptical machine, and I don't do much aerobic exercise, because I'm afraid I'm getting thinner and thinner and my body fat is very low. I mainly focus on strength training, in order to gain muscle. Because thin bodies tend to look flat, I feel much better after a year of fitness. Elliptical machine is generally not used to practice ass, especially novice Xiaobai, who can't get the power point of that ass and feel it at all. So it is best to have a certain foundation. People who often practice squats will better adjust to the position where they can feel the power point best. This is my personal suggestion. Otherwise, if you practice your legs, you think you can practice your hips, and you're finished. In fact, it is quite simple, that is, adjusting a certain resistance. The greater the resistance, the greater the feeling. Adjust according to your own strength, and then press the upper body forward slightly, but you must not hunch over and tighten the core, which feels like squatting. Don't press your knees on your toes. Use your hips. When you step down, you can feel the gluteus maximus swelling and sore, and you will find that this is not enough. Add resistance and you will find more and more. ! ! Then you are using it in the right place! You'd better step on it for ten to fifteen minutes. Remember to stretch your hips after you step on it!
