How to choose the elliptical machine
The elliptical machine is fitness Equipment For Fitness enthusiasts. In a health club, the elliptical machine is a cardio-friendly exercise machine. Elliptical machines are also called space walkers. It is a common sports equipment in professional gyms and homes. With the needs of the market, commercial and home elliptical machines for scenes and groups have been developed to adapt to customers with different needs. If you want to choose a elliptical machine, you will know by reading these points. After reading this article, you can have a certain understanding of the elliptical machine, which is also helpful for you to buy an elliptical machine.
.Resistance adjustment.
1. The more resistance segments, the better.
The resistance adjustment principle of the elliptical machine is that the magnet is close to the flywheel. The closer the distance, the greater the resistance. Some manufacturers divide it into 8 segments, that is, 8 segments of resistance, and some manufacturers divide it into 16 segments or even more. Therefore, the number of resistance adjustment sections is not the more the better. Some manufacturers' 16-segment resistance is only equal to other manufacturers' 8-segment resistance, but it's more subdivided.
2. Magnetic control, electromagnetic control and self-generating.
There are three forms of elliptical machines: manual magnetic control, electromagnetic control and self-generating.
Manual magnetic control is to adjust the resistance by manually tightening the knob, which is more troublesome to operate. This resistance adjustment method is cheap and durable for elliptical machines. The disadvantage is that manual adjustment is required, and it is generally used for low-end elliptical machines.
The principle of electromagnetic control is the same as that of manual magnetic control, but requires an external power supply. By pressing the resistance plus and minus keys on the control panel to directly adjust the resistance, you can also set some automatic resistance changes, which is more convenient to operate, and is generally used for mid-to-high-end home elliptical machines.
The spontaneous electromagnetic control system is a self-generating system that does not require an external power supply based on the electromagnetic control. Due to the increase in equipment such as generators, batteries, etc., the cost of the elliptical machine has also increased greatly, basically for commercial use.
. Comprehensive parameters
1. Intelligent system.
The intelligent system can be used for sports monitoring, entertainment and simulation training to increase sports fun. Systems like this are the trend in Fitness Equipment.
2. Step adjustment.
Step adjustment can change the size of the elliptical machine's stride, find the most suitable stride, and make the exercise more comfortable.
3. Slope adjustment technology.
Elliptical machines can increase exercise intensity by increasing the incline, similar to the incline adjustment of a Treadmill.
.Flywheel
1. The heavier the flywheel, the better?
What the flywheel does on an elliptical is resistance adjustment. Generally speaking, the flywheel weight of a home elliptical machine is between 5 and 12 kg. Some businesses have discussed the weight of the flywheel for ellipticals. Some partners are also concerned about the multiplicity of flywheels. In fact, the weight of the flywheel is not easy to tangle. The key to good or bad depends on the technical strength of the brand and the stability of the elliptical body. It does not mean that the heavier the flywheel, the better. For most people, 5 to 8 kg is sufficient for daily exercise.
2. The difference between the front and rear flywheels.
The elliptical machine is divided into a front elliptical machine and a rear elliptical machine according to the position of the flywheel. If you want to know the difference between these two types of ellipticals, first look at what a full-size elliptical is. Full-size elliptical machines are generally used in gyms, with a length of nearly two meters or more, simple structure, and easy maintenance after the flywheel.
Generally speaking, the elliptical machine of the same brand and price, the heavier the body, the better the accessories, and the more stable the operation. Try not to choose an elliptical machine that is too cheap.
