Elliptical
Elliptical provides steady cardio with a running-like rhythm while reducing pounding on the joints. It's also useful for keeping a consistent breathing pattern when you want volume without extra soreness.
Instructions
Step onto the elliptical trainer and place feet firmly on the pedals. Hold the handles lightly and stand upright with relaxed shoulders. Start moving the pedals smoothly, keeping a steady rhythm. Control intensity by adjusting resistance or cadence while maintaining smooth, continuous motion.
Avoid Common Mistakes
• leaning heavily on the handles
• excessive forward bending at the hips
• uneven pushing through one leg
• using resistance that is too high and breaks rhythm
Variations
• steady aerobic effort
• high-cadence low-resistance work
• higher-resistance strength focus
• interval efforts
• hands-free balance focus
