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!
Download or read book Elliptical written by Nord Alps and published by Nord Alps. This book was released on with total page 41 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The elliptical can be a useful tool for weight loss and general health. Among the potential advantages of elliptical training are: Intense elliptical workouts can burn a significant amount of calories, making them a valuable tool for weight loss. Elliptical machines offer a low-impact workout, which can be easier on the joints than high-impact activities like running. This makes elliptical training an excellent option for individuals with joint injuries or pain. By increasing heart rate and building endurance, elliptical workouts can improve cardiovascular fitness. This can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and other chronic conditions. If the machine has handlebars that allow for upper body movement, elliptical training can help build muscle strength in the legs, glutes, and core, as well as the upper body. Any form of exercise can aid in stress reduction and mental health enhancement. Due to its low-impact nature, which can be easier on the body and mind, elliptical training may be especially effective at relieving stress. Many gyms and fitness centers have elliptical machines, making them a convenient option for people who do not have access to other types of equipment or who prefer to exercise indoors. Overall, elliptical training can be a useful tool for weight loss and overall health, and it can be a good option for individuals seeking low-impact exercise. Before beginning an elliptical training program, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional, as with any other form of exercise.

Book excerpt: Old-school marathon training plans ask runners to crank out 70 to 100 miles a week. It's no wonder those who make it to the start line are running ragged. Smart Marathon Training maps out a healthier, more economical approach to training that emphasizes quality over quantity. With more than 75 detailed exercises plus six easy-to-follow training plans for half and full marathons, Smart Marathon Training will get you to the starting line feeling refreshed and ready to run your best race yet. This innovative program eliminates junk miles, paring down training to three essential runs per week and adding a dynamic strength and cross-training program to build overall fitness. Runners will train for their best performance in less time and avoid the injuries, overtraining, and burnout that come from running too much. Smart Marathon Training builds up a runner's body to resist injury. Runners gain the strength they need to run long using functional exercises that target the hips, glutes, and quads. Running is a full-body sport, so this training program also builds a strong core and upper body to avoid injuries that begin above the waist. No one fakes a marathon or half-marathon--everyone has to do the work. But Smart Marathon Training replaces long, grinding miles with low-impact cross-training. Horowitz outlines a cycling plan to complement run workouts, boosting base fitness while saving runners' bodies for their best runs.
