Question: I know this is stupid but im trying to learn every thing i can and in aswners ive seen "eliptical" wat is it?


Question Description:
i have no idea what an eliptical machine is lol sorry but please explain is it at the gym? what does it look like?

Answer#1: An elliptical machine is kind of like a cross training ski machine, but also mimics running action & the swinging the arms helps to work your core. It is great for people who can run because of their knees because it is low impact since your feet never leave the machine.Hope that helps!


Answer#2: An Eliptical Machine is the same thing as a cross trainer. It is a machine at the gym, or for home use, that simulates walking or running.The advantage of an eliptical machine is that the person exercising can do so in the comfort of their own home.In addition, eliptical machines are easier on the joints and generally the body of the person exercising.


Answer#3: "Eliptical" means that it moves in a circular motion, but not in a perfect circle, in an oval shape. It is best described by how the planets revolve around the sun. An eliptical machine is like a stationary bike or a stairclimber, but your legs go around in an oval instead of a perfect circle.
