Crosstrainer

From head to toe - total body workout on the crosstrainer or elliptical trainer

The crosstrainer is the perfect piece of equipment for training the whole body. Whether in your home or in the gym - despite a similar high-low movement, the fitness machine enables a workout that is easy on the joints and is much quieter than a treadmill, for example. At the same time, unlike other home trainers, it works muscle groups all over the body, which makes training on the elliptical trainer more strenuous than on an ergometer.
The gentle, guided movement and the distribution of the load between the upper and lower body make the cross trainer or elliptical trainer ideal for a thorough warm-up, targeted training of the cardiovascular system or a full-body workout.

Additional info and frequently asked questions

Comprehensive, varied, popular and versatile

Whether in the gym or at home, cross trainers are among the most popular fitness equipment and have a market share of over 70 percent. They are particularly suitable for home use due to their flexibility, as they allow you to train your legs, arms, back and shoulders. Due to the flyweight inside the elliptical trainer, the workout is comparatively quiet and you can freely adjust the load according to your training level. Different programmes offer the full range of training from a light warm-up to a sweaty workout and a light cool-down. Due to the full-body load, the elliptical trainer is also particularly suitable for burning fat, because the training burns more calories and builds up muscles more evenly. Of course, you still have the option of locking the arms of the exercise bike to work specifically on your legs.

The ideal endurance workout at home.

As you train with your feet and hands in a fixed position, the workout is particularly easy on the joints. This means you can train your muscles with almost no strain. The crosstrainer is an ideal introduction after long breaks or an injury. Professionals also appreciate the elliptical trainer because of the extensive training intensity for the whole body.

What is an elliptical trainer?

An elliptical trainer is a piece of sports equipment for endurance training, for fitness training in gyms or at home. Compared to a bicycle trainer, which mainly trains the leg muscles, the special design of this device trains many more major muscle groups. The fitness equipment has a flywheel, depending on the model, usually with a flywheel mass of about 12 to 18 kg, which is connected to the vertical arm bars by two horizontal pedal arms about 1 m long. The form of movement is similar to walking, but there is no need to step on the pedals, which puts strain on the joints. With a market share of over 70 per cent, elliptical cross trainers have become the most popular fitness equipment. They are ideal for effective, joint-friendly endurance training, work various muscle groups and promote fat metabolism. The muscular load is highest in the calf muscles, followed by the front of the thigh, the buttocks, the shin muscles, the back of the thigh and the knee stabiliser.

How long should I exercise on an elliptical trainer?

As on an ergometer or any other type of exercise bike, the same applies here: In addition to the resistance you choose, the duration of your workout is crucial. If you have just started exercising on your exercise bike, a few minutes of concentrated training are usually enough. The training impulses you set are already enough to improve your endurance. If you just want to burn as many calories as possible, you should of course train for as long as possible - preferably at high resistance. However, please never train too long in the maximum heart rate range. The answer to this question depends on your own training goals.

How effective is an elliptical trainer?

Since many muscle groups are addressed on this machine, it is generally more effective to train on an elliptical trainer than on a classic ergometer, for example, which only works the legs. However, how effective your training actually is depends on how intensively you train. Depending on how many resistance levels you set, the greater the effort you exert and the more effective your training.

Which is better: elliptical trainer or cross trainer?

There is no difference in principle between cross trainers and elliptical trainers; rather, they are evolutionary advancements in the way the machines move, making the motion sequence ever more ergonomic and simulating the running motion ever better. An elliptical trainer can also be described as a further development of the crosstrainer. The two terms are often used synonymously. When differences are made, they are usually rather blurred. One term tends to emphasise training with an elliptical movement or the elliptical path of movement of the feet. The word crosstrainer describes rather the movement of the whole body. This is because the arms and legs move in opposite directions, i.e. "crosswise". This is why, depending on the design, one can also speak of an elliptical crosstrainer.

Where can I buy an elliptical trainer?

You can buy fitness equipment for training at home in large sports shops or simply order it online at Fitstore24 and have it delivered directly to your home. We offer a wide range of manufacturers and models. We offer Miweba Sports, Tunturi, Life Fitness, Hop-Sport, Speed-Motion, Finnlo or FINNLO by HAMMER and many other proven brands - free shipping is always included in your order.

What is an elliptical trainer for?

An elliptical trainer is a piece of sports equipment used for endurance training and general fitness training in gyms or at home. Compared to other home trainers such as a bicycle trainer, which mainly trains the leg muscles, the special design of this device trains many more major muscle groups.

What stride length does my elliptical trainer need?

Small or very tall people in particular are right to ask this question. Since most fitness equipment is designed for training with an average body height, you should inform yourself as a tall or short person exactly which equipment offers how many cm of stride length. Because of the large pedals, they always offer a certain amount of leeway when it comes to the size of the feet. In addition to the stride length, also consider the individual Q-factor. This is the distance between the outer ends of the treads. The correct Q-factor makes elliptical trainers more biomechanically efficient because hips, knees and feet are optimally aligned and the muscle force exerted on the pedals is increased. When choosing the right model for you, also consider the maximum body weight with which the machine may be used.

Which elliptical trainer should I buy?

The No. 1 bestsellers are often the machines that you already know from training in the gym. But in general, there is no such thing as the best crosstrainer elliptical trainer per se. However, you can easily find the best elliptical trainer for you if you ask yourself a few basic questions. Based on your budget for a new elliptical trainer, you should first ask yourself what technical features you value. Do you need an interface for devices that support your training, e.g. for your heart rate monitor, a chest strap or your smartphone? Do you need a tablet holder? Especially if you accompany your training with a fitness app, you should pay attention to this. A multiplayer app that allows you to compete virtually against others while exercising or video events can make your workout particularly effective and entertaining at the same time. Some fitness equipment even offers complete app control via the manufacturer's own app. Modern exercise bikes are usually also equipped with an LCD display or an LC display that shows the most important parameters of your workout. Since there are also foldable elliptical trainers, you can even take conditions such as the space available in your home into account when choosing a model. How many kg of flywheel mass the right exercise bike should have for you depends more on your fitness level. The flywheel mass determines how many levels of resistance the machine offers and how high the maximum resistance can be set for exercising. Test reports, such as a special elliptical trainer test conducted by Stiftung Warentest, TÜV or other platforms and institutions, are always helpful when searching for the right machine for you. The results usually offer you an informative overview of the advantages and disadvantages of the current models or a direct comparison. When buying, make sure that your exercise bike meets the current safety standards. You can tell by the TÜV or GS seal. Conclusion: You have to find the best elliptical trainer for you based on your requirements. We offer you a large selection, low prices and free shipping directly to your home.
