A level magnetic resistance elliptical trainer machine uses a combination of magnetic resistance and adjustable incline to provide a full-body workout. It typically consists of two foot pedals that move in a circular motion, simulating the motion of running or walking, while also providing resistance to the user's legs and arms.
The magnetic resistance system works by using a magnetic field to apply resistance to the elliptical's flywheel. This is achieved by placing a magnetic field close to the flywheel, which interacts with the magnetic field generated by the flywheel's movement to create resistance. The resistance level can be adjusted by increasing or decreasing the strength of the magnetic field.
In addition to magnetic resistance, most elliptical trainers also have an adjustable incline feature. This allows the user to simulate uphill running or walking by adjusting the angle of the foot pedals. This changes the resistance level and also works different muscle groups in the legs and glutes.
Finally, most elliptical trainers also have handlebars that move in sync with the foot pedals, allowing the user to work their upper body and core while using the machine. The combination of magnetic resistance, adjustable incline, and handlebars creates a full-body workout that can help improve cardiovascular fitness, strength, and endurance.
