Star Trac Elliptical Machine Reviews

I haven't seen a lot of Star Trac elliptical machine reviews. This could be due to the fact that until recently, they mostly sold their trainers to the gym market, not for home users who want to equip their home gym. Some of their models would be great for the home, especially if you can get them at a discount. They have many more features than a lot of other brands, and they have been built to last for a long time.

One market that is using ellipticals more and more are seniors. Elliptical workouts are low impact compared to treadmills, stair climbers, exericise bikes, and other forms of cardiovascular workout routines. They are very easy on the knees and lower back, which are common areas of concern for older people, particularly if they suffer from arthritis. An elliptical is also easy to figure out, since it mimics the normal movement of the body. You can just climb on and start moving naturally. They also feel a lot less intense than other machines, so you end up working out longer, getting more exercise benefit.
