The motion cross 500 ensures an effective and comfortable workout. The elliptical trainer is a very popular cardiovascular ergometer. The machines comfortable movement is easily understood and learnt involving a large muscle group, while being gentle on the joints. The interaction and connection of arm and leg co-ordination is very important. The elliptical pedal curve is a floating movement that is gentle to the back, hips and joints. Because of the high resistance possible (up to 1000 Watts) in the rpm dependent mode the motion cross 500 will also encourage well trained athletes.
