Elliptical machine is also an aerobic exercise. After 30 minutes of continuous exercise, the body slowly consumes fat to provide energy for the body. After about 45 minutes, it will consume about 500 calories, which is equivalent to an hour and a half of ordinary long-distance running. So the weight loss effect of elliptical machine is really good.
Moreover, there is a survey experiment aimed at men in a gym lobby. The results show that under the same intensity training lasting for three weeks, three to four times a week, each time for 40 to 60 minutes, the fat-reducing effect of elliptical machine is indeed much stronger than that of treadmill.
2. Treadmill is better than elliptical machine from the point of whole body movement.
Elliptical machine is characterized by lasting strength and good shaping effect, mainly stovepipe, which is aimed at the part, while running is a whole-body exercise, which can better reduce fat for the whole body.
It is precisely because of the enduring power of the elliptical machine that the elliptical machine has exercised personal explosive power. If you don't want to sweat a lot after exercise and don't have the confidence to insist on high-intensity exercise, ride an elliptical machine.
3. From the angle of knee injury: Treadmill is better than elliptical machine.
If you consider the knee injury, it is recommended to choose a treadmill. Elliptical machine is difficult, and incorrect movements can easily cause knee or ankle injuries. In addition, sitting on the elliptical machine too much will affect the "local" blood circulation. Because the treadmill is equipped with shock absorbers, the knee injury rate is slightly better than that of the elliptical machine. When the running speed is not very fast, jogging and brisk walking are both suitable for losing weight on the treadmill.
Of course, it does not rule out that some people can't keep up with the rhythm of the treadmill, resulting in different degrees of knee joint injury. Therefore, it is very important to learn to adjust the speed of the treadmill reasonably according to your endurance.
Treadmill VS elliptical machine: the exercise that suits you best is the best exercise.
Whether it is treadmill, elliptical machine or other sports, daily fitness or weight loss, it is not important to lose weight better. The key is that you can choose a sport that suits you best, precisely because of your own conditions, hobbies and long-term weight loss needs.
At the same time, it is best to stick to it for a long time on the basis of being suitable for you, otherwise it is useless to fish for three days and dry the net for two days.
