How To Use An Elliptical Machine

Hi. My name is Ricardo Macedo, and I'm here today to give some good tips and show you how to do some exercise. We are at my gym in Kensington, London W8, so you can find us in our website: www.

So come with me and we're going to show you some tips. Here we go. Hi.

How to use Elliptical Trainer Exercise equipment? First of all, you got a pair of foot-pedals. I'm going ask Fendi to come along. 'Good, good, good'.

So the best way to start, start moving forward. Keep the posture, hold, get a position and press the button called 'quick start'. Yes, nice and easy.

So, elliptical trainer demonstration is they have no stress on your joints, different in running that puts a lot of stress in your joints, this machine mimics the same movement but more fluid. No stress, no impact. The other good thing is some of them got handles where you can move back and forth, working on your upper body.

Some of them don't. This one with Fendi, I'm going to let go of hands, so if you do without your hands, without holding, you work your core, you step like the movements, so you work much harder. On every single machine, doesn't matter which brand it is, you got different set of programmings, so you can work on it, you can work for endurance.

Uphill will be much tougher, much harder. You can increase the levels and intensity. So I'm going to show you how to increase the levels.

As you can see here, the rams that are going up make the workout much harder, so each brand got their own system, so you can work with brands, you can work with preset programmes or you can use your own programme. You can change the speed, you can change the intensity, you can change the incline level so make it the best of your cross-trainer or elliptical trainer if you prefer. That's it for today.

Thank you very much. .
