If you are looking for a quality cardiovascular workout with the maximum amount of efficiency, you will not be able to overlook the elliptical machine. Most elliptical trainers give you a total body workout if you have dual action handlebars for your arms and foot pedals for your legs, whereas treadmills focus more on your lower body as they simulate the jogging experience. What is even more interesting, according to recent studies, is that the lack of impact on the joints allows the user to burn roughly the same amount of calories as treadmills with the impression of putting CONSIDERABLY less effort. The only fitness equipment company in the world dedicated exclusively to elliptical cross trainers, Octane Fitness is equipped with more than 50 years of combined industry experience developing and distributing premium elliptical machines. Its passionate mission: to reshape and perfect elliptical machines to deliver the best workouts ever.
