Elliptical

        I ventured out onto the elliptical  in therapy one day.I was with my physical therapist as he showed me how to use it. This was a safe and feasible machine! Not only does it speed up your walking gate, but it improves endurance, balance and functional mobility. Also, the person who uses the elliptical puts far less stress on his/her joints and you generate forces up to 110 percent of your body weight. This is also for those who want to cut calories. The elliptical burns twice the amount of calories than by walking alone. Now I need to do it more often to see some  of the great benefits, but if your ambulatory and wanting more out of your gate then give it a try!
