How to choose elliptical trainer. Just 2 things to know. 

Why haven't I bought a treadmill? On a treadmill you put a lot more force to the knees when you land down. On elliptical you don't fall down instead you slide down gradually without any jumping force to the knees. And also, small tip - before I go, I drink a cup of flavory water and eat some chocolate. Gives me an energy boost :)

The only video which actually teaches what to look for

My 2 important things on an elliptical: 1) The heavier the flywheel the smoother and more stable you are. And 2) Look for an elliptical that can handle a lot of weight. 300 lbs plus is strong.

I've watched heaps of vids recently on ellipticals, this is by FAR the best video with the best information! Thank you

For the first time, someone talking about some worthy points, not those bullshits. Thanks mate. U save my day. Hats off and salute.

His drawing makes it quite clear what to look for when looking to purchase a quality machine - thanks!

I think another point to make, in terms of stability is that, one of the main spots to look for is how the neck or mast is attached to the rest of the machine. Because if you're using your upper body in conjunction with your lower body, that's going to put strain on the mast of the machine. It's going to put a twisting pressure on it. So if the mast is cheaply attached, it will start loosening and squeaking. Wherever the mast is attached is the weakest point and needs to withstand that twisting pressure over a long period of time in order to be worth purchasing. edit: So basically, the more parts you have to assemble, the greater risk there is for the machine to loosen up at those points of contact.

Love this video! My wife and I are looking for a good trainer and she's looking at screen sizes, smartphone capability, speakers, all the bells and whistles! Meanwhile I'm like no, I'll put a TV and a stereo in the garage where we'll use it, don't worry about that stuff. I just don't want to feel like I'm holding the damn thing together whilst I'm using it. This video offers great practical advice on what to look for. I have definitely used elliptical trainers at the gym that felt like Stairmasters, and you want it to be sturdy. I'll send her this video and see if I can change her thinking, wish me luck!

Researching for ellipticals.. glad I found your video before my Amazon purchase.

thanks for making it short, clear and honest

You're awesome man! saved me from buying the elliptical that I was gonna regret!

Thanks for the video. The information you provide is perfect to discern what is really important

Thank you, great advice. I will look out for these issues on one I’m planning on buying.

Dude, this is awesome! I love your no nonsense talk.

Thank you Tomas. Your video helps me make my decision. Thank you!

Thanks buddy you nailed the information , truely yours..All the best.

Excellent advice - the programs are mostly marketing bs and after owning my elliptical I only use one, very similar to your manual mode description.

5:04 hahaha much love from Netherlands!

Thank you for your second point, about the height differences of your feet when using the elliptical. I wondered why some ellipticals fell so very odd. There is so much marketing crap out there for every product. I also don't need the fancier computer and programming. If bored then I can use my own devices.

And now I know why I hated working out on my elliptical trainer coz mine was unstable kept moving with me I swear it used to make me feel dizzy and yes u reminded me of how my legs kept touching ground with each move .. and sadly that trainer was my first elliptical trainer ever .. now am thinking about buying a proper one and give it a try one more time

Thank you so much for teaching me this knowledge. I was almost being a fool for falling for that marketing bullshit.

Which one are you using please

Thank you for such a clear explanation!!

I appreciate this very much!! I also do not need the extra program junk! I only ever use manual!! Thanks so much

Nice and great observation and helpful in judgement what to buy

Hello - Do you know the stride length of your machine?

So what is this elliptical?

I'm glad you said 12 minutes. I used mine for the first time today. I found it on the side of the road for free. I bought a new power cord for $12 and after 12 minutes I had to stop so now I don't feel so bad. Awesome video and thank you. Liked and subscribed ❤

Hi! I hope ur channel grows. Your vid is very informative. Thank you!

Well said, but handlers are important too,some are push away too much..

Great info... just what i needed... Thank you!!

Wow. So knowledgeable. thanks for this video.

Appreciate this video. Thank you

Thanks a lot Tom!

Useful video! Thank you!

YEAH I'M SICK OF THE STUPID PROGRAMS AND FEATURES THAT THEY EMPHASIZE MORE THAN MANY OTHER IMPORTANT FEATURES.

Basically he is saying is find an elliptical with a long stride length

What do you think about the Matrix A50 elliptical?

Thanks!

Thanks for a great video!

Thank you for your info

Amazing r&d.. Nice video 10/10

Hey! :) Can you please tell me what model your crosstrainer is?

Thank you!

Great vid - thanks!

Thanks for the video. Does it consumes lot of electricity, can you use without electrical power?

Now U have to ask…which one did you buy?

Thank you appreciate the yips, please do mention the brand u got

Really helpful! TNx

Is it strictly heart , or do you get muscle resistance on arms and legs?

Thanks bro

Labas, koks tavo modelis treniruoklio, as dabar ieskau sau kazko panasaus 😅 P.S. aciu uz video

you are the guy 💪😝🤝🤝🤝 Thank you 😊

Nice common sense points!

How much is it

I can’t understand you when you come to the US speak English please

thank you very much for the honest review! I was about to buy one of those cheaper options but thanks to you I changed my mind. The only thing which is not very clear to me is how do I choose an elliptical with the front wheel? They all seem to have the same structure from the first sight 🥲

Thank you!
