Cross Trainers - Elliptical Trainers
He always enjoyed strength training. At home, he had bought dumbbells and trained diligently. However, the muscles seemed to build up hidden under the fat—visually, there was little change. Real weight-loss success only came when he combined his routine with a cross trainer: according to the training computer, he burned around 700 kilocalories in just one hour of exercise. Are you also looking for quick weight-loss results while strengthening your endurance and muscles? A cross or elliptical trainer is the right choice. Discover our fitness equipment, supplied directly to isports from manufacturers like Tunturi, Bowflex, Schwinn, and Nautilus, and purchase your cross trainer from the official distributor in Switzerland for these brands.
Difference Between Cross Trainers and Elliptical Trainers
Cross trainers and elliptical trainers combine the benefits of exercise bikes, treadmills, and steppers. They differ in their design: on a cross trainer, the flywheel is located at the back, while on an elliptical trainer, it’s at the front. Additionally, cross trainers feature a shorter stride length with a circular motion pattern, resembling jogging. Elliptical trainers, on the other hand, offer a flatter motion, similar to cross-country skiing or Nordic walking.
Maximum Calorie Burn with a Cross Trainer or Elliptical Trainer
A cross trainer is ideal if your fitness goal involves weight loss. While exercise bikes also offer a full-body workout, cross trainers stand out for their exceptionally high calorie burn. Both cross and elliptical trainers work not only the legs and glutes but also large upper-body muscle groups such as the shoulders, chest, and back.
If you want to perform regular, moderate to high-intensity workouts at home, a cross trainer is a great choice. For more demanding interval training, an elliptical trainer is better suited. Additionally, elliptical trainers are gentler on the joints, making them suitable for rehab purposes. Compared to the quiet, sometimes foldable pro cross trainers, elliptical trainers tend to be larger and slightly noisier.
