Elliptical Cross Trainer Workout
Now that you know the benefits of using an elliptical trainer, here's an elliptical trainer workout that takes full advantage of the benefits of high intensity interval training:
- Warm up with easy pedaling for 5 minutes.
- Perform five, 30-second all-out efforts, each separated by 60 seconds of easy recovery pedaling. As an option, alternate between forward pedaling and backward pedaling with each all out effort.
- Stop the elliptical and jump rope or perform jumping jacks for one minute. If your knees don't like this, simply do body weight squats.
- Get back on the elliptical and perform 5, 60-second all-out efforts, each separated by 30 seconds of easy recovery pedaling.
- Stop the elliptical and perform squat jumps or lunge jumps for one minute. If your knees don't like this, do body weight lunges.
- Get back on the elliptical and perform 5, 2-minute all-out efforts, each separated by 60 seconds of easy recovery pedaling.
- Stop the elliptical and perform regular push-ups or squat-thrust-jumps for 1 minute.
- Get back on the elliptical and cool-down for 5 minutes, or repeat this entire workout one more time. If desired, you can substitute new exercises the second time through.
Ultimately, an elliptical trainer is an excellent tool for both fitness and fat loss, and I recommend including it in your fitness routine - even if you're a "purist" runner or cyclist!
