Female Athletes, Elliptical And Treadmill Training Fuels Endurance

November 14, 2022,

Walk into any large gym and you will see them profusely at work.

Without weights.

Many of them are women.

They are hard at work on elliptical machines and their bodies are greatly benefiting from it.

If you are a female wrestler or athlete, you can greatly benefit from elliptical machines too.

An elliptical trainer or cross-trainer is a stationary exercise machine used to stair climb, walk, or run without causing excessive pressure to the joints, hence decreasing the risk of impact injuries.

For female grapplers, your collisions on the mats can cause enough injuries, your exercise program should not.

For this reason, people with some injuries can use an elliptical trainer to stay fit, as the low impact affects them little.

Elliptical trainers offer a non-impact cardiovascular workout that can vary from light to high intensity based on the speed of the exercise and the resistance preference set by the user.

Most elliptical trainers work the user’s upper and lower body, a nice balance.

They can be self-powered by user-generated motion or need to be plugged in for adjustment of motion and/or for supplying their electronic consoles and resistance systems.

Those are the basics.

Time to explore more of those benefits.

A source that we research often from is webmd.com. Regarding elliptical training they educate, “Elliptical machines imitate running, with less impact to your joints. They can give you a great calorie-burning workout. If you’re training for a future run, you can fill in workouts with an elliptical machine. It can help you keep your endurance while giving your joints a break.”

Very good points.

Time to walk over to the bookstore.

ELLIPTICAL WORKOUTS: DISCOVER HOW TO EXERCISE YOUR ENTIRE

By Lukas Taylor

“Most people that work out on an elliptical machine simply hop on and get moving, perhaps occasionally adjusting the resistance and incline settings.

But did you know that there are countless other specific exercise routines that you can do on an elliptical machine that will give you so much variety that you’ll never get bored?

Not only that, but you can target specific parts of your body with certain workouts, enough so that you can actually exercise your entire body on just this one machine.

This book will provide you with detailed instructions for 9 exercise routine variations that you can do on the elliptical so that you can choose what to do each day depending on your mood or your workout objective.

The exercise routines are described using a 30 minute session time-frame which, if done daily, is going to noticeably burn fat and tone muscle. If you’re one to prefer longer workouts, then you can simply stretch out the time frame, or double up workouts per session. If you’re ready to learn how to make the most out of your elliptical machine, let’s get started!”

We’re motivated and ready to get started.

Perhaps one more book.

Time for a look.

We’re off to a good start. So far, this is where we want to go.

We desire to learn more.

Here is a personal story found on their website. Meet Lisa.

“I started running in 2011 to battle Postpartum Depression. When I started taking time for myself, the weekly miles started increasing and I saw my goals of 5K, 10K, half marathon, and eventually, 26.2 races get checked off of my list! Talk about exciting!!

I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis in 2017 and once again leaned on fitness to ease my symptoms. I purchased a Horizon 7.8 AT Treadmill in April 2020 for my 39th birthday. I use it to train for races (next goal, Dublin Marathon!), to walk on days my joints aren’t cooperating due to the RA, and to help me be as fit and healthy as possible for my family and myself — all without leaving my house. The treadmill allows me my “me time” and also gives me no excuses to get it done! Fitness continues to save me through the little speed bumps thrown my way and I’m thankful for that!!”

One more. From Terri.

“This treadmill is changing my life. When I decided it was time to buy a treadmill, it meant a big investment in myself. I spent weeks researching Treadmills to make sure I was getting the right one for the goals I wanted to achieve. I looked at motor size, Bluetooth connectivity, running surface size just to name a few. For the price the Horizon Fitness 7.8 AT treadmill was in a class of its own. I’ve had this treadmill for four weeks now and I can’t say enough good things about it. If you are looking for a gym quality treadmill for an amazing price. This is the treadmill for you, without a doubt!”

Good to know.

Now, there are differences between elliptical trainers and treadmills and that is a discussion for another article, but their biggest benefits is that you get the cardio, without running and pounding your joints and therefore, they help reduce injuries.

You get the exercise, without the future pain.
