Arc trainers vs. Ellipticals?

[vikki99 1]

Have anyone tried the Arc trainers?? I found it better than the regular elliptical. It is less stress on my knees, plus burn twice the calories .

I've seen it at the gym but never tried it before. If it burns twice the calories, I'm going to check it out! :redface:

After your post I tried one yesterday. Really suprised but not for me! I normally swim but on occation will do an hour of elliptical. Hands free so no hanging on swinging my arms like running. The arc for me was not a good motion. Felt super awkward and my knee was not happy. It's funny how a machine wil work for one person and not another. :party:

The first few times I used the Arc Trainer it KILLED my back and was really awkward. I do feel it works my legs more than the elliptical. I use both- one day I do elliptical, one day the ARC, another I jog on the treadmill.

Love the Arc Trainers! Feel like I could go for days on those things!

I wonder there is a recommended height, when working with the ARC trainers? I am 6'1, so my legs are pretty long.:thumbup:
