Why should you choose a cross trainer workout?
The cross trainer offers a joint-friendly full-body workout that effectively strengthens the legs, arms, back and torso.
The ergonomic structure and stable design support healthy posture and reduce strain on the joints.
The training imitates natural movements such as running, cross-country skiing and climbing stairs - but without the impact loads that are harmful to health. Ideal for promoting endurance, muscle building and general fitness.
Who is a cross trainer suitable for?
A cross trainer is ideal for all fitness levels - from beginners to professionals. It is particularly suitable for people who are looking for a workout that is gentle on the joints, such as older people or people with joint problems. The cross trainer is also the perfect choice for those who want to lose weight effectively, improve their endurance or strengthen their entire body.
What should you pay attention to when buying a cross trainer?
Available storage space: Pay attention to the size and design of the cross trainer. For smaller apartments, compact models with a folding function that can be easily stored are suitable.
Training goals: Consider whether your main goal is to improve your endurance, build muscle, or lose weight. High-quality models offer individual resistance settings and training programs that adapt to your goals.
Health condition: If you have joint problems or health problems, a cross trainer with an ergonomic design and gentle movement is important to minimize the strain.
Stride length: Stride length is crucial for training comfort. For taller people, a longer stride length (over 40 cm) is recommended for a natural movement, while shorter stride lengths are sufficient for smaller people.
Volume: Pay attention to the volume of the cross trainer, especially if you are training in an apartment or a noise-sensitive area. Models with quiet, magnetic resistances offer a quieter workout and do not disturb those around you.
By considering these points, you will find the cross trainer that perfectly suits your needs.
Can I lose weight with cross trainer training?
Yes, the cross trainer is ideal for losing weight! By training your upper and lower body at the same time, you burn a lot of calories in a short time. The joint-friendly movement sequence allows for longer training sessions without overloading, which also promotes fat loss.
The cross trainer combines endurance and strength training, which boosts your metabolism and increases calorie consumption. You can also adjust the intensity to get into the optimal fat burning zone.
For effective weight loss, you should exercise regularly - ideally 3-5 sessions per week of 30-60 minutes each. Vary the intensity with interval training and make sure you eat a balanced diet to reach your goals faster.
Tips for the correct posture on the cross trainer
Correct posture is crucial for training effectively and gently on the cross trainer. Here are some important tips:
Upright posture: Keep your back straight and avoid arching your back. Your head should remain in line with your spine and your gaze should be directed forward.
Shoulders relaxed: Keep your shoulders relaxed and do not pull them up. This prevents tension in the neck.
Firm grip position: Hold the handles lightly without clinging. This activates the arm muscles without building up unnecessary tension.
Smooth movement: Make sure your movement is fluid. Don't just push with your legs, but also work with your arms to train your whole body.
Feet flat on the pedals: Avoid standing on your tiptoes. Keep your feet flat to minimize stress on your knees and joints.
