When it comes to my favorite workout machines, the elliptical is at the top of my list! As a trainer, I get asked frequently if it’s possible to actually get a good workout on an elliptical, and my answer is always yes! Since an elliptical is a combination of a treadmill and bike, you can really get your heart rate up and go easy on your joints. It’s a win-win.
Now it’s time to lace up your shoes and break a sweat. Let’s get started!
