A member asked:
Which type of exercise would elliptical training be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
More cardio, but: With the arm movement, easier to achieve cardio benefits with a lower perception of exertion, since you use more muscles. You will tone, but most strength gains go to the legs! safe and non-traumatic. Great machines!
