Sole Fitness: Ellipticals

There is a lot of hoopla in the fitness equipment industry concerning elliptical trainers and which one has the best biomechanics and ergonomics. You’ll often hear terms like “plantar flexion,” “erector spinae rotation” and “ulnar deviation.” Don’t worry if you’re confused.

We at SOLE feel you shouldn’t have to have a degree in orthopedics to buy an elliptical trainer. What you really need is an elliptical with a smooth, continuous foot motion, or an ellipse pattern (the pattern your foot travels during exercise) that is level and simulates walking or running. Our top-of-the-line ellipticals can give you just that, at a price you can afford. Don’t let fear of fitness equipment language keep you from getting fit!
