We are looking for the best cardio machine for home.

“Out of all the variety of sports equipment available on the market, which cardio equipment is most optimal for home use?” – asks our regular reader Oksana M. Well, Oksana, let’s try to answer your question. We are looking for the best cardio machine for home...

1. So, number one: treadmill. The simulator is certainly good, very necessary and popular. However, we will weed it out due to its large overall dimensions and fairly expensive price. Moreover, it is quite possible to go for a run on the street.
2. Number two: bicycle ergometer. Again, not quite right. Without a doubt, this is one of the best cardio machines, and it takes up much less space compared to a treadmill, but it is focused exclusively on the lower half of our body - the upper shoulder girdle is completely excluded from work, which is not good...
3. Number three: orbitrek or in other words an elliptical trainer or simply an ellipsoid. This is what we will authoritatively recommend to you for home use. Judge for yourself:
   
   
   
   

1. takes up little space (at least compared to the previous two).
2. includes almost all muscle groups and the athlete’s cardio system.
3. It is relatively inexpensive (at least, again, compared to the previous two).
4. reliable and perfect for training both men and women, both adults and children.

What do you need to know when choosing an ellipsoid?

This type of exercise equipment has a clear limit on the weight of the athlete training on it. Therefore, before purchasing, be sure to find out the current weight of all people planning to train on it (for example, all members of your family), so that there are no unpleasant surprises later.

Another tip about limiting weight: never take it end to end. That is, if your weight is 95 kg, this does not mean that you need to take an orbitrack for 95 kg. Definitely take it with a reserve. For example, in this case: 120 kg.

Well, perhaps this is all that we planned to tell you in this article. Stay tuned, there are still many interesting things ahead of us...
