A member asked:
Are elliptical trainers good for starting to get back in shape? 6 months after surgery
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes they are: they are low impact and unlikely to hurt anything. The amount of exercise with them can get up to moderate RUNNING levels of exercise and can EASILY meet fitness needs. They don't tone the abdomen and upper body much.
