My foot was never in full contact with the pedal when I work out! I was doing it all wrong and that was the reason why it felt easy using it. Well done sir this video is so helpful

[@SunnyHealthFitness]

Thanks for sharing!

[@futurereturns]

I am in to elliptical cross training every morning for 30 minutes and now i realise I am holding it from a higher position sometimes doing it the wrong way putting extra stress on shoulders and neck. This video explains about correct body posture, hands and feet positions. Excellent video. Thanks for uploading.

[@SunnyHealthFitness]

Thank you for such awesome feedback!! 🔥🔥

[@iihabibaii]

Finally someone talking about feet position! Thank you!!

[@SunnyHealthFitness]

You're very welcome! ❤️

[@I_cReAtE_and_YoU_hAtE]

Yess!!!

[@crazy10bears]

He says your feet should remain flat but most of the video his heels are raising up.

[@matthewsnyder5323]

Probably the most helpful how-to I’ve seen. Thanks for that.

[@SunnyHealthFitness]

We are glad you liked the video. Keep up the great work!

[@Lboogie23]

Best instruction yet. Thank you.

[@SunnyHealthFitness]

Of course! Thank you so much for your feedback! 🤗🤗

[@Lboogie23]

@SunnyHealthFitness I have a Sunny health and Fitness Elliptical, too. It's great.

[@jamielynn8336]

Thx! I started working out a year ago and idk why but the elliptical was always scary lol. This video helped with my posture for a better workout. Thanks again!

[@SunnyHealthFitness]

You're so welcome! Keep up the great work!! 😊👍

[@kristinesharp6286]

Thank you. I watched 12 videos all to find out where the hands should be so the shoulders don’t hurt and finally I have an answer.

[@SunnyHealthFitness]

We are happy to hear that this video was helpful for you!

[@LS-kg6my]

This was a very helpful video

[@SunnyHealthFitness]

Glad you think so!

[@ritubudhwani6858]

Watched a couple of useless videos until I saw THIS one! Really helpful.

[@SunnyHealthFitness]

We're happy to hear you found this video useful!

[@AbdulRazak-mw5iu]

Hi bro. Just now I watch your channel and subscribed. Meantime, can you tell me your machine name and model?

[@SunnyHealthFitness]

Awesome! This is the Sunny Health & Fitness Magnetic Elliptical Machine SF-E3912. You can find more info here: sunnyhealthfitness.com/collections/elliptical/products/pre-programmed-elliptical-trainer

[@vixieous]

Do you have to keep your heels flat at all times? I used to be able to do 22 minutes with lifting my heel, but when I keep it completely flat I can barely do a minute. It’s destroyed my confidence

[@SunnyHealthFitness]

You want to keep your heels as close to flat as possible. Don't be discouraged! Keep trying!

[@grzegorzkaczmarek8513]

What is the Box size I need it for shipping calculation

[@SunnyHealthFitness]

Thank you for reaching out! For details on weight and packaging, please feel free to contact Customer Support via email at [e-mail] and we will be happy to assist you.

[@lynnidolz11]

Why i still have knee pain eventhough my feet flat on the pedal.Did not have knee problem when using threadmill or exercise bike.Another question is it normal to become dizzy when using ellitiptical?

[@SunnyHealthFitness]

We recommend you speak with your doctor or main healthcare provider to determine if this machine is the best fit for you.

[@usnaaamir7315]

Which one is better megnetic or the normal chain one

[@PashkaTLT]

Probably magnetic. It will be silent and less wear & tear.

[@kaioberst1899]

What is the correct way to use an elliptical machine?

[@SunnyHealthFitness]

Feet planted on the pedals with hands gripping the bars. Posture high and typical recommended usage is 20-30 min a day.

[@pilarcubeiro7717]

don't different incline levels target different muscles ...calves, quads and glutes for example?

[@SunnyHealthFitness]

You're correct. Change the incline levels when you want to target more specific areas.

[@worshiparise]

@sunnyhealth what targets gluten?

[@raspberrycrusader]

Here’s a question then; do you push AND pull with your arms? I ask because my wife, who has used these machines before, says she only pushes! This seems to be a waste of movement as surely working the biceps and deltoids on a pull stroke is also desirable. 🤔

[@SunnyHealthFitness]

Yes, you do both push and pull when using an elliptical. While you can choose how active you are with your arms, we recommend engaging in both the pushing and pulling movements to target both sets of muscles.

[@bushitwo6367]

Which elliptical is?

[@SunnyHealthFitness]

Thank you for reaching out! The upgraded version of this model is the SF-E3912SMART available on our website! If you have any further questions about our ellipticals, please feel free to contact Customer Support via email at [e-mail].

[@I_cReAtE_and_YoU_hAtE]

I knew I was doing something wrong. I don’t always have my feet flat. I would make my heels go up. Now I know why my ankle started to hurt🤣 Gonna keep my feet flat from now on

[@SunnyHealthFitness]

Yes! Glad to of helped on that correction! It'll benefit your ankles so much over the long term.

[@jaymanuel3396]

You lose so much calories on these things. They’re not given enough love at the gym.

[@SunnyHealthFitness]

We are glad you like them!
