What's The Difference Between An Arc Trainer & An Elliptical

[The_real_JulieKelsea]

The Arc Trainer is incredible! Nothing else like it. Thanks 👍🏼

Try the elliptical forwards. Won't hurt as bad and feel as "unnatural!"

Great video. I've been using the ARC trainer for my cardio for the past few years because of the reasons you talked about. I noticed a lot of knee pain when using the elliptical in the past.

I how you get straight to the point. Excellent video. Thanks!

[cubemissy]

Thank you! I’ve stayed away from the Arc machine, because I was not wanting to hurt my knees. I’m trying it today!

at my gym, almost no one uses the arc trainers, which is fine. I like the one with the moving arms. The ellipicals have more of that sort of 'ankle flexion/swimming flipper' type motion which is really wasted motion. I think the arc is really just pure productive motion, working the large muscles of upper leg and butt better, giving a better workout on a minute for minute basis.

THANK YOU for clarifying. I’m switching to the ARC trainer to do sprints because I already have a bad knee and didn’t know the elliptical put stress in the knees.

I love the arc trainer it’s my favorite

The Arc helped me burn 1008 calories on day 1. I used new muscles and saw weight loss. I'm a fan boy.

Isn't that going backwards on the elliptical? 🤔 Really need to show it going the correct way if you're discouraging it

Thanks, I have tried both of these, I appreciate your explanation of the different effects on the knees. The arc trainer was more challenging in terms of effort required and gave a more thorough workout, I think--the elliptical was kind of fun, like you were flying along.. Also, a local guy who plays arena football used it almost exclusively--so, must be effective. I guess when I get back in the gym I will have to go tough, not fun.

Is it just me or is he spinning the elliptical backwards?

[abvmoose]

What about precors open stride amt, how does it compare to the arc trainer in terms of stress on the knees? Is it in the same category of trainers as the arc?

[jameshorton]

Why is he doing a reverse motion on the elliptical.🤣

What year was this video recorded.. dude is still rolling his jeans like it's 1990? Lol

[Steffne]

Going backwards on the elliptical! 🤣 🤣 🤣

[CorruptNecroFile]

I hurt my knee using an elliptical, the arc trainer is way better in my opinion.

[dirtyreg]

arcs are new to my gym im way more used to elipiticals.

[camillalaursen]

Wouldn't it be better if you used the elliptical the correct way? 🤔🤔🤔

Elliptical used to learn how to do the moonwalk.
