Magnetic elliptical trainer: how it works, how to choose

Elliptical magnetic stimulator - a sports equipment, keeping up with the times. It combines exercise bike, a treadmill and a stopper.

Replace climbing stairs, intensive walking, running - those exercises that lead to intense burning of fat. It refers to the type of cardio (cross-training).

Elliptical trainers have entered the top three most sought after sports a new generation of equipment. When driving the device occurs aerobic and power load on the organism.

Are provided in the tone of a group of muscles and has a complex effect on the body: swinging the press and the hip of the leg muscles, arms and back acquire tone the tummy tightened.

Due to smooth cyclical movements shows people with joint problems and diseases of the spine.

How does the magnetic elliptical trainer

Before you decide to purchase a "smart coach", define goals and objectives for what you need it.

The operating principle of the machine is based on the natural properties of the magnet, which moves relative to the flywheel - resistance increases when the distance decreases at a convergence magnet and a flywheel.

Magnetic elliptical machine differs gentle movements, easy to slow, due to the presence of natural magnet brake facilitated without exposing the sharp-loaded muscle movements. Unpretentious in use.

However, studies are needed before a mandatory warm-up exercises, or instead of good will get the failure of the heart muscle and stretching.

After the exercise, moving the pedals of an elliptical path, in dealing with a person a feeling of weightlessness, which achieves the maximum load.

The disadvantage of this equipment for sports considered impressive dimensions, with the result that the application of standard housing conditions, limited.

When choosing, consider the following options:

location of the flywheel. Front convenient and comfortable. But the size of the equipment is greater than the rear-wheel drive. Front-wheel drive units are suitable for people with an increase from 180 cm and above.

Provide trainee vertical position and not allow your knees to touch the frame. If the flywheel is rear-wheel drive, it is the distance between the pedals is a much wider between athlete's feet. Load falls alternately on each leg;

Presented simulators help to improve the general condition, increase endurance. Alternative shaping and yoga. Elliptical step, working on problem areas, help to work to maximum effect.

How to select magnetic elliptical trainer

Flywheel settings. At home, the kinds of the weight varies from 5 to 15 kg. Professional can reach up to 40 kg. The greater the mass and size, the easier movement created. The joints are not overloaded.

• The step length. An important parameter for determining the amplitude of motions and the effects of training. In orbitrek budget is a fixed value of 40 cm. The professional has the ability to adjust. The greater the acceleration, the more comfortable classes.
• Permissible weight. The simulator is designed for the weight of 80 -150 kg. It is essential that your weight is at least 15 kg less.
• Stationary stronger. Folding is always the risk of breakdowns, strikes, etc.
• Additional load. The budget contains a memory 6-8 programs. Over time, you will need to increase them, and this will reduce the time of training.
• Ergonomics management. It is enough data on the pulse distance. Make sure that the calories burned outnumber consumption.
• Decide on the ellipsoid brand. Manufacturers, bereguschie reputation, provide a lifetime warranty on the frame. Here it is necessary to clarify the factors: the reputation of the manufacturer, where he was released, those. Support, warranty, consumer reviews.

How to use

For a family it is important to choose the place where to place equipment, calculate how much space you will need. Perfectly fit into your life, magnetic or electromagnetic inexpensive. When choosing, consider the options and their - weight and height.

• make sure that the control panel is clear and easy to you;
• adjustment mode should be smooth;
• the pedals are moving exclusively on an ellipse. Movement should be light and smooth. You should not feel too much stress or pressure on any part of the spine or joints;
• Hand levers must also be suitable for the height and power of resistance. Excess spine load required. It is important that you have been easy enough to grasp the finger grip.
• obhvatyvanie should not be an effort, otherwise the arm muscles feel overvoltage;
• fixed frequency rotation of the platform;
• it is important that the machine does not emit a loud, clanging sounds that can bother you and irritate, even at maximum switching modes.
• it is necessary to set exactly to avoid any swinging in the process of training.

Ellipsoid easily load is selected individually for each muscle group.

Advantages and disadvantages

When properly selected mode, you will lose weight, train the cardiovascular tract, work through areas with problems.

Advantages of magnetic elliptical trainer:

1. Train it is effective, but gentle: does not load the knees as an exercise bike. No strong pressure on the spine, as in the stepper. Muscles work intensively,
2. Ergonomic levers are important for working out chest and back without any strength exercises;
3. Increase blood oxygen enrichment to accelerate the body's metabolism and is easy to help relieve unnecessary kilograms;
4. Reliable, not travmoopasen;
5. Even after the possible fracture rehabilitation activities that will lead to the restoration of normal heart function and muscle tone after injuries;
6. Selection of built-in programs;
7. Improving the functioning of the cardiovascular tract;
8. Some models will calculate the amount of body fat;
9. Removes spasms of neuralgic origin;
10. Operation of family members from the young to the elderly;
11. The minimum power consumption.

Disadvantages of Magnetic Elliptical Trainer:

1. Characterized by a high cost compared with other devices.
2. Increased size, there is no possibility of a compact storage.
3. Classes on the ellipsoid require pre-warm-up and stretching.
4. Cardio on wheels comes in handy when you move around the house, but at the time of unstable training.
5. The level of training depends on the weight of the flywheel, the harder, the better the effect. So a good unit is heavy enough.
6. Ideally, to train better to allocate a separate room, taking into account the additional space around for free maha pedals and handles.
7. Quality models while only landlines.
8. There are a number of contraindications for employment:

• Complicated heart disease, accompanied by edema and asthma attacks;
• Tachycardia;
• thrombophlebitis;
• Lung disease;
• Oncology;
• Diabetes;
• Acute infectious diseases;

Security

For the working conditions and effective use of the equipment should correct assembly, maintenance, and use for any other purpose.

Before using be sure to check the assembly and safety instructions. Upon receipt, make sure the packaging is not broken.

• Transport is possible only in the disassembled form;
• Upon delivery of the unit must be protected against atmospheric influences;
• Place on a flat floor, leaving at least half a meter of space on each side.
• Holes for ventilation - keep track of, so as not to overlap during installation.
• To protect the floor, use a mat;
• Exerciser requires for normal operation room conditions (temperature 10 to 35) at normal humidity.

Precautionary measures

• Can not be stored and operated in a dusty, humid summer and indoors, near the water. Do not operate where possible aerosol spray or flammable gases.
• Make sure that there are no loose ends hanging towels or pieces of clothing that could get caught in moving parts.
• When classes use specially designed sports shoes. You can not train barefoot. Desirably, the surface was antislip pedals.
• Nothing puts a simulator.
• During, before and after training you need to drink water to maintain fluid balance.
• Do not move and do not stack up to the end of the assembly.
• Check and strengthens the attachment points of each quarter.
• Do not let objects inside. If this had happened - carefully remove, if that is not possible - please contact your service workshop.
• For cleansing, use a cotton cloth lightly moistened with a small amount of funds. It is impossible to apply the cleaning solution directly onto orbitrek. Do not leave plugged in.
• Be sure to turn off the electricity before cleaning or carrying out maintenance, preventive maintenance.

Fault elliptical trainers require an individual approach. The fault occurs because of an ellipsoid:

1. Failure of the rope.
2. Breakdown of electronic components.
3. Physical damage due to insufficient lubrication.

Cardio does not need complex care. Some time after the operation is required to fasten the retaining bolts and lubricate the bushings. For the smooth running machine with silicone grease the skids.

Correct operation and careful maintenance will prolong the service life. It's easy to avoid excess weight, a sedentary lifestyle and boring everyday dullness.
