trainers have been around for over a decade now, however it is only
really in the last four or five years that they've become so popular.
Previously in the large gyms there would be more treadmills than any
other piece of cardio vascular equipment. Nowadays there are normally
equal numbers of elliptical trainers, also known as crosstrainers, as
there are treadmills.
The
advantage of using an elliptical trainer over a treadmill is that
they are low impact. When you run your feet are leaving the ground
and impacting on the tarmac or treadmill sending shocks up your bones
which can cause problems for people with weak joints or shin splints.
Running is good for helping with increasing your bone density, but
for a lot of people with weak joints running is not an option. This
is where an elliptical trainer is ideal, your feet never leave the
ground and it's easy to regulate the resistance to get your heart
beating to a level where you're working out aerobically.

trainers are very smooth and they work out your arms and shoulders as
well as your legs. The original elliptical trainers just worked out
your arms but Reebok was one of the first manufacturers to add the
arms to give you a full body workout.
