The smooth, flowing action of this machine ensures there are no jerky movements on body parts. Unlike a treadmill, the cross trainer provides a low impact exercise which would be more beneficial for the elderly. As well as increasing cardiovascular endurance, the cross trainer can also increase muscular endurance simply by increasing the resistance level. The upper body can also be worked using this machine as there are 2 handles which move in time with the movement of the legs (kind of like a skiing action).
