Why is it much easier to use an elliptical machine than a treadmill with the same calorie consumption?
Many people choose easy-to-use running in the gym. Here we will face a very simple choice of equipment, elliptical machine or treadmill? It has been reported recently that it is easier for exercisers to use elliptical machines than treadmills under the condition of consuming the same calories. Obviously, the calories consumed are the same, so the amount of exercise paid is the same in principle. Why is there such a difference? Let's discuss it together.

First of all, treadmills and elliptical machines are popular aerobic fitness equipment. At the same time of exercise, the fat burning effect of treadmill will be slightly higher than that of elliptical machine. There is no denying that we will feel the same way when we use it ourselves. Elliptical machines are not as tired as treadmills.

Secondly, the elliptical machine uses the principle of inertia. Just like when we ride a bike, we don't have to step on it all the time. Inertia will carry the machine all the way. In this way, we save a lot of extra work, the body gets the same amount of exercise, and the calories consumed will be greater than the energy lost, so people will feel less tired.

Moreover, for the crowd, the two are slightly different. Elliptical machine is more suitable for middle-aged and elderly people or women, and the exercise intensity is not very great, so it is suitable for such people to do rehabilitation training or low-intensity exercise. In contrast, the treadmill is not so gentle. Treadmill is mainly used to exercise people's lower limb muscles, which has a remarkable effect on cardiopulmonary training. This passionate and energetic machine is more suitable for losing weight. Using the treadmill, you can adjust the speed, slope and time by yourself. At present, the detection system carried by the treadmill on the market has also increased the function of reducing sports injuries.

In fact, it mainly depends on what is the purpose of our fitness. If you want to lose weight quickly, you'd better choose a treadmill. And if you just want to relax properly, or just want to do some rehabilitation training with sports equipment, then the elliptical machine is the first choice. We should choose the instrument that suits us according to our own purpose, not to see which one is more labor-saving. There is still a long way to go. The world is fair, and you will get as much as you pay.
