Elliptical Crosstrainer
Is an elliptical cross trainer easier than running?
I’ll give you the easy & quick answer - for me it’s WAY easier!
As I’ve aged, I am starting to have problems with my joints hurting. Hips, knees and ankles can be particularly achy if I run of use a treadmill.
And, it’s a fact - elliptical cross trainers are much easier on your body than running/ Why? Mostly, it’s because of impact - or the lack of impact on the elliptical. Think of it this way - when you run, most people slam or come down pretty hard on their feet . It has to be that way in order to officially be called “running.” This slamming, or shock, has got to be absorbed somewhere else in the body - it’s absorbed in the joints. Most of the time people jog on hard surfaces - asphalt or concrete. There is no cushioning on these surfaces. Sometimes, there’s a little bit of cushioning with a treadmill, but not much.
Over time, the cartilage in the joints can become sore and damaged - that would mean pain for that person.
When you use an elliptical trainer, there is no shock involved - just smooth motion as the machine steps one foot in front of the other. I notice this smoothness right away - no pain or soreness for me!
