An elliptical trainer (also cross trainer or simply elliptical) is a stationary exercise machine used to simulate walking or running without causing excessive pressure to the joints, hence decreasing the risk of impact injuries. Elliptical trainers offer a non-impact cardiovascular workout that can vary from light to high intensity based on the resistance preference set by your Encore personal trainer. The StairMaster stepper, aka the StairClimber is a powerful addition to the Encore circuit training program. The Cardio Wave workout focuses on leg muscles and buttocks, without placing stress on the joints. Calorie consumption from skating with the Cardio Wave are unequalled. Key benefits include: • Tones the lower abs, pelvis muscles and low back stabilizers • High calorie consumption • Strengthens the muscles that stabilize the knee joint. The TrekMill from Keiser utilizes the principles of hiking to improve aerobic performance and maximize calorie burn. Combining the towering inclines of up to 50%, declines to minus 5% and the preprogrammed hikes, you will have unlimited access to workouts that automatically control speed and incline.
