Ellipticals are “good for those with knee, ankle, or back issues that find running uncomfortable or painful,” Sklar says. But, like most workout equipment, there are a lot of options to choose from. Matheny’s advice: Think about what you’ve liked using at the gym, as well as what features you actually used on it. Then, try to get the same one, or something as close to it as possible. The Nautilus E616 Elliptical Trainer uses a fitness club design, boasting dozens of workout programs and levels of resistance. It also features a Bluetooth console to sync your workout data with popular fitness apps. |
