Recumbent ellipticals

Recumbent ellipticals are designed to allow the user to do the exercise while sitting down.

Front drive ellipticals

How to choose an elliptical that’s right for you

There are a number of things to consider when choosing an elliptical for your home gym. The first is the type of elliptical and deciding what is best suited for your needs and desired outcomes. For instance, front-drive units give the feeling of riding uphill and are excellent for the hips and thighs, while rear-drive machines have a flatter trajectory and are suitable for those looking for a lower-intensity workout. You should also look at the different features they have like the different types of programmes they have and the levels of resistance they offer. Things like bottle holders and media holders are also a nice bonus.
