Cross trainers
Ideal for training major muscle groups like the legs, arms, torso and shoulders.
The workout is particularly easy on the joints thanks to the elliptical movement.
Cross training is particularly suitable for people whose job involves a lot of
sitting. When you are working out on the cross trainer you are in an upright
position. There is therefore no pressure on the back and spine. Different training
intensities are possible: just a leg workout – your hands then stay on the fixed
handle, full body workout with passive use of the arms, full body workout with
active use of the arms. Combining an arm and leg workout provides an effective
full body workout using all the important muscle groups.
Upper body training on the handlebars also works out the arm, shoulder and
back muscles.
The advantages:
• Elliptical movement that is easy on the joints.
• Effective full body workout using all the important muscle groups.
• A varied workout with forwards and backwards movement.
• Ideal for health based fitness training.

Posture and how to work out correctly
Make sure you are standing firmly and securely on the footboards.
The sole of the shoe may meet the front end of the footboard (especially with
small people).
The hands grip the handlebars at chest height and the elbows are slightly bent.
The upper body is in an upright position. Make sure that your knees and elbows
always remain slightly bend during the workout.
During the forward movement, make sure that you lift your heels off the floor,
similar to normal running, to ensure that you work out your calf muscles and
improve circulation to the feet.
Workout options
Your cross trainer provides you with a number of workout options. You can
determine the intensity of your upper body workout yourself by actively and
passively moving the handlebars. For example, you can increase the intensity
on the leg and gluteal muscles simply by moving the handlebars in a more
passive and relaxed way.
To intensify the upper body workout move the handlebars more dynamically
using your arms.
On the whole though, it is still a full body workout, where besides the gluteal
and leg muscles, the shoulder, arm and back muscles are also worked out.
Your cross trainer also offers you the chance to leave out the arms completely.
For this, grip the fixed handle with your hands. In doing so, keep your elbows
relaxed next to your upper body so that the handlebars can continue to swing
freely. In this position you are only working out your leg and gluteal muscles.
Vélo elliptique
Idéal pour l'entraînement des grands groupes de muscles tels que les jambes,
les bras, le tronc et les épaules.
Le déroulement elliptique du mouvement permet un entraînement ménageant
les articulations. Le cross-training convient particulièrement aux personnes qui
sont souvent assises pendant leur travail. Lors de l'entraînement sur le vélo
elliptique, vous avez le dos droit. Cela soulage le dos et la colonne vertébrale.
