Benefits of Using Home Seated Ellipticals

What is a Seated elliptical?

The seated elliptical is a new category of exercise equipment that is also referred to as a recumbent elliptical or elliptical bike and this new category combines the no-impact, natural motion cardio benefits of an elliptical cross trainer with the seated comfort of a recumbent bike for a unique total body workout.

A seated elliptical combines the benefits of a standard elliptical with the comfort of not having to stand for the duration of your workout. By pedaling the legs in an ellipse motion and pushing and pulling the arms, you get a great cardiovascular and total-body workout. You work both your arms and legs at various resistance levels from a comfortable seated position. Increasing the resistance and working “just arms” or “just legs” gives you both strength and cardio benefits!

Consider the following advantages:

Seated Ellipticals Are Great for Seniors Wanting to Stay In Shape

Just because you are growing older and have certain physical limitations does not mean that you cannot enjoy the benefits of a regular fitness routine. A home-seated elliptical takes the strain away from the legs and knees while still providing a total body workout. Joint stress and trauma are virtually eliminated.

The Benefits of an Exercise Bike but Lower Impact

The motion provided by a seated elliptical is easier on the joints than on a standard exercise bike. This is because a seated elliptical allows you to sit in a “back position” instead of completely straight up. As a result, you can work out longer. The range of motion also burns more calories and uses more muscles than an exercise bike.
