How To Choose A Household Elliptical Trainer?

Household fitness equipment has gradually entered our life. Previously, the first choice of household fitness equipment might be the Treadmill, but now it has also been replaced by the Elliptical trainer. The Elliptical trainer, which can reduce knee injuries during exercise, is very popular. Do you know how to choose a household Elliptical trainer? Now let's let you know some things you should pay attention to when purchasing a Elliptical trainer~

Selection of Flywheels

When choosing a household Elliptical trainer, the first thing is to choose a flywheel. When we choose to buy it, do we choose a front flywheel or a rear flywheel? Let's first understand the difference between the two!

Rear flywheel: It occupies a small area, which is inferior to the front flywheel in terms of configuration. The smoothness of the flywheel is also relatively poor. In addition, because the front flywheel is small, it will affect the stride. It is suitable for petite girls. If your height is more than 175cm, it is recommended to choose the Elliptical trainer with the front flywheel as far as possible.

Front flywheel: generally, Elliptical trainer with front flywheel are expensive, high configuration, and large floor area, so Elliptical trainer with front flywheel are suitable for heavy users, stable, and large stride.

Flywheel weight

When it comes to choosing the weight of a flywheel, there is actually a lot of emphasis. Currently, most flywheels on the market are within the range of 3-10kg. We choose the flywheel. It is best to choose a heavier flywheel, which also has a higher inertia, which will increase the intensity of the movement. Therefore, I recommend a 5-8kg flywheel as it has a good effect on the sports experience and intensity.

Resistance adjustment selection

There are two kinds of regulation methods for Elliptical trainer on the market, namely, electromagnetic resistance regulation and manual magnetic control. In brief, manual resistance regulation is all based on resistance iron, while electromagnetic resistance has a stronger sense of technology, and the range of regulation is wider and more accurate. Therefore, I recommend you to choose Elliptical trainer with electromagnetic resistance.

Weight and dimensions of Elliptical trainer

For the weight and size of the Elliptical trainer, under the premise of the same flywheel weight, it is recommended to choose the heavier and larger Elliptical trainer of the Elliptical trainer. This kind of Elliptical trainer often uses superior materials and has better quality.

Height, stride, weight, and bearing capacity

Height and stride are directly proportional, and generally the higher the height, the larger the stride. To give you a reference, if your height is about 175, Xiaobian suggests that you can choose a Elliptical trainer with a stride of about 50cm. In addition, the Elliptical trainer with a rear flywheel generally has a stride of only about 24cm, so it is not recommended to start this kind of small knitting, because there will be certain restrictions if the stride is small, and the movement will not be smooth.

The choice of weight and bearing capacity also needs to be based on the weight. Users with a large weight of over 200 kilograms need to focus on the weighing range of the machine. Here, it is recommended to weigh 150-180kg or 60-100kg less than this weight.
