Can you work upper body on an elliptical trainer?

Elliptical Arm Movements

Some elliptical models incorporate arm movements and others do not. The arm movements give you some upper body endurance and burn more calories, but you may fatigue sooner. Whether to have arm handles on your trainer is a matter of personal preference. All ellipticals let you move the pedals backward as well as forward, which is great for adding variety to your workout.
