@@loganjackson8667 I highly recommend the elliptical. It's very easy on my joints. I had a knee injury I got on a treadmill. I used to run but cannot now because my knee feels like it wants slide out of place, plus I'm 67 🙂 All I can do is walk on one, I find that so boring but I love the elliptical because I feel I'm getting a good workout without pain. This video was amazing to me. Tomorrow when I go I will do what Dr. Lin suggested 3 xs a week with strength training as well.

That’s why the front of my thighs have been hurting so bad. Especially my right thigh bc I been doing ten miles a day and lifting my heels like I’m running and I noticed that I always have my left foot more to the front than the right one. So I been doing it wrong all these years wow. Very helpful video. It’s going to take some mindful practice and focus to change that.

I've found that you can vary different postures to focus different muscles. Tiptoe vs heel vs flat, bending the knees or squatting lightly and cycle between those I find gives the best exercise.

Using the arms on the elliptical is not to make the exercise easier. It is there to engage your upper body. If you are using the eliptical machine to warm up before lifting, similar to me, you SHOULD use the handles to engage your entire body in the exercise. It's also better to engage your entire body in general because if you want to just run, run 😂 the treadmill is there for a reason.

The elliptical machine can be used to target many muscles. This may be the correct way for the muscles described in the video. Your "incorrect" way simply targets other muscles. It doesn't mean it is incorrect. Hell, you can even use this machine for arms/cardio if you wanted. There is no WRONG way!

Everything can be a workout if it doesn't injure you. And many things can injure you if you do them too many times. Like picking up a 500lb barbell with a back like a cat....the proper number of times the human body should do this is 0. I agree with you fully, there may be a 'best' way to use this machine, but that doesn't make all the other's wrong (necessarily, though they may actually be wrong for their own reasons)

Thank you sooo much! Just received my elliptical so have to assemble it. So glad I will start off right!!! The personal trainer who demonstrated it had her feet placed right up to the front of the pedal (the rest of their video was extremely well done, very professional) so I did give them a call and gave them a heads up about foot placement and pulling back with the heel so they could also check it out with a physio therapist and correct their video to help their customers get maximum benefit. So your video will hopefully impact all of their customers, not just me. Thank you again!!! : )

I have been using an elliptical every day for the past couple of years as part of my maintenance training. And, I have been primarily putting my weight on the front of my foot. From watching this video, I started actually rolling my toes off the pedal (as you showed in your exaggerated explanation) during some strokes. I think it's a dramatic improvement in my overall workout! Thanks!!!

I'm 74 and started using a Nordick Track cross-country ski machine in 1978. After 25 years I had to scrap it and since then have had 2 ellipticals. I just bought my 3rd one and have never thought to get instructions....hey, I'm a guy so what do you expect? When looking in YT for instructions on leveling my new one, I ran into your video. Glad I did since I'm sure I've been lifting my heels since the get-go. I love the exercise I've gotten (I read to take me away from the agony) but I'm sure I have not gotten the workout needed for my hamstrings and glutes. Your recommendation will probably drop me from 45 minutes a day to a lot less as I get used to it but I look forward to seeing the effect on my butt!

I discovered this rooted heel technique by accident. I have a bunion and sometimes it becomes irritated by the flexation at the ball of the foot on the elliptical. So when it started hurting I would just naturally make my foot flatter and shift the pressure to the heel and, voila! My glutes and hamstrings were feeling it within a minute or so and my heart rate increased as well. I know hamstrings and glutes are some of the biggest muscles in the body so if you engage them you're getting a good cardio workout.

Great video but a huge thing u may want to add that can arguably be the most important is to not use your weight to create momentum and riding the flywheel. Try keeping your head at the same height and not have it bounce up and down just using your body like this great physical therapist says. Doing this is harder yes but u arnt there to go easy, going easy is for the couch u are there to WORKout. Doing it this way essentially does the same amount of exercise for your muscles and calories burned in 20 minutes that would otherwise take 30

I use elliptical for calories burning after every session. I use this technic, but also use upper body in order to decrease the load on my lower body and not interfere with my muscle growing plan. Also, logically you burn more calories that way. I guess you could do both ways depending on your program / goals. Either way, I think it's good that you showed how to use the machine as it should leaving the upper body part. It is, after all mainly lower body movement anyways. You could have mentioned a bit more about the importance of full body engagement. Just a thought :)

Hey man, your method seems to work really well for me. The only problem is that my arms give out because sitting back on the heels makes the handles a little too far forward. It's pretty similar to how you looked doing it. I'm surprised you didn't say anything about arm fatigue. Are you holding on like that for 30 minutes straight? Are there handle extenders or something? Thanks!

Honestly if you can monitor your heart rate, keep a consistent 130 - 160 bpm, don't need to exaggerate the heel and glute movement in this video. Benefit of this machine is consistency- you can smash these cardio sessions constantly and everyday almost. Your heart muscles and joints get a great workout without it impacting your joints or strength training. Keep up the resistance and don't speed through the motion, a faster cadence means more momentum and less your body has to work, a 50 - 65 cadence is perfect. Monitor that heart rate and steadily increase the resistance so it remains challenging. 10 to 45 minutes of this a day, and with just a week of consistent training I can guarantee you'll feel way better and healthier after incorporating this into your routine. Eliptical is honestly an S tier piece of training equipment and can supplicate swimming training if you don't have access to a lap pool. Sure you may look silly doing it but the health benefits far outweighs what anyone will think of you in the short term. You'll notice the fat melt off you so long as you aren't over eating and only eating trash nutrition less foods.

I bought an elliptical since the machine I was using at home was on its last legs... I have the habit of "stepping on my toes" (I don't know the English expression for this, paraphrasing from my language) - stomping your heels when running can cause knee pain/damage from the impact shock, or so I was told. My quads were almost decimated after 10 minutes! This is totally different movement than when using a treadmill. I'll try your technique and see how it goes. Hopefully I'll manage to control my movement while on the elliptical.

Great tutorial video, there's one thing that you haven't addressed; - the exact positioning of both feet on the "pedals"(?). From what I could see, your feet are placed the closest from each other and, as you demonstrated at 2:09 , your heels are jammed into the back of the pedal. Am I to assume that the positioning can be different from one person to another, or does it not matter enough to specify in a quick tutorial video? Thanks for your very well spoken english, and I hope that you're doing good. Cheers!

I have a question to make. I am a 6'' 2'' man with a weight of 213 pounds and one of the problems that I face with my new eliptical is a knee pain. I think that the problem mainly lies on the fact that my elliptical's stride length is only 18 inches while I guess it should be 20'' or even longer. My second assumption is that I may own a huge lack of fitness that causes me injuries. What is your view about my problem?
@dirtwhisperer658
@dirtwhisperer658 Жыл бұрын
I bought an elliptical and have been using it since 2014. It takes a lot more out of you than how it looks. It really is a total body workout. I don't think the stride is causing you problems. You may need to work up to 30 min. or 45 min. or whatever your goal is slowly. You might be trying to do too much and your body is not ready for it so you need take at least a month getting up to 30 minutes. Your knees need to be strong for the elliptical and they will build strength after a few months. Be careful. I gave myself tennis elbow by doing too much elliptical and weight training. I know that's what it was because I got it in both arms. It took multiple trips to the orthopedic clinic to get rid of that and I had to quit working out. Now I do the elliptical every 2nd day not every day so my body has a chance to recover. That routine is working good. BTW I am 5'10 and weigh 175 and I am 59. It's good that you are working out. Good luck!

The length stride may also vary depending on the movement that the eliptical does.I work out about twice per week using the eliptical but I also play tennis and my body weight has already been reduced.

Appreciate you sharing your knowledge. However, the way you suggest using the elliptical is not congruent with its construction/design. If you are to lean backward, why is it designed to what amounts to forward leaning? Also, you did not explain why using the quads is “wrong”. Certainly there are various approaches to an elliptical workout that addresses multiple muscles and can allow for variability in its use.

It’s wrong if you have a knee injury. Most knee rehabs focus on glutes and hamstrings bc that will help align the knee better and helps take the pressure off the knee.

If you just wanna work out and don’t have any problems then it doesn’t really matter how you use it as long as it doesn’t hurt

I like the elliptical for when I gain a lot of weight and haven't worked out in like months or years .. as a starting point for about a 2 month time it allows me to go hard from the beginning without worry about shin splints.. like I usually go from 1 mile to like 5 to 6 miles in a week and i usually get injured .. with this I can start at 3 miles at max settings and I lose 30 pounds in about 3.5 months

Depends what muscle groups your trying to get to. I’m sure it helps on leg control to get to certain groups more then others.

While this technique likely has SOME value it is ridiculous for this guy to say everyone is doing 'WRONG' by placing their feet forward on the pedal/platforms. Some if not MOST elliptical machines DO NOT EVEN HAVE a REAR 'WALL' on the pedal to push against! E.g The Schwinn brands are completely open- nothing to push against. Keeping the feet flat rather than the X-country skiing heel raise technique IS widely repeated in videos though.

I understand the logic of heels back. But what about shorter people? The machines aren't designed for certain heights. I find myself sliding forward all the time, it's so frustrating. Also, how can you tone the upper body and core on a cross trainer? Thanks for the video.

Thank you for demonstrating how to use the elliptical correctly! We got one months ago that’s collecting dust because I don’t like using it because I only feel it on my quads. I’ve been doing it wrong for years! I’ll try your way tomorrow. I still feel like our elliptical is not for a petit person like me, as I feel like my legs are slightly in an A frame rather than normal stance.

I do 45-65 minutes session on Matrix Ascent elliptical. I progressively overloaded it to the point i can do full 65 mns at max difficulty (25) and incline (100% on the machine) at a consistent 40rpm. I also alternate with reverse pedaling for 5mns every 15mins. Is that good? I got huge calves from it, ill try to switch to this stance too cause my glutes are lackluster. Is the advice from Dr. Here also valid on a bike with incline?

One thing I’ve noticed when I’m using my elliptical is that my left foot is aligned, but my right foot tends to point more outward to the right. Is it bad to have your knees pointed inward or outward? I’ve noticed I only have pain on my right knee.
