Elliptical Machine   Benefits: Strengthens legs Improves Cardiovascular Endurance Improves Cardiovascular Strength Reduces Stress

How to do this exercise:

(Always be sure to check with your Dr before performing this or any other new exercise especially if you have heart problems, high or low blood pressure, back or neck problems or are pregnant)

1. Read directions on machine and if you are in the gym make sure to ask the staff to help your first time on any machine.

2. Warm up gradually for 5 minutes. After that adjust your resistance and ramp level for a varied workout.

3. Talk Test - To be sure that you are working out at a fatburning level you should be able to talk but not hold much of a conversation. If you are blabbing away - you are not working hard enough.

4. As you work on the machine be sure not to lock your knees and to not rest your body weight on your arms.

5. You can also vary the workout by reversing the direction of your stride. When you are ready to be done make sure to gradually cooldown for five minutes and after carefully stepping off the machine spend a few minutes
   stretching.
