Elliptical machines emphasize low-impact movements, which makes them ideal for seniors, according to the new guide from SOLE Fitness. Because users have to move their arms and legs at the same time, the machine also activates both upper and lower body muscles – improving stability and comfort throughout the workout.

SOLE Fitness offers two senior-friendly elliptical machines as part of its fitness equipment lineup. The E25 is its entry-level model, with 20 incline levels, 7 pre-programmed and 2 user-defined workouts, and 20 lbs flywheel. The E35 has a larger 10.1-inch touchscreen, a heavier 25 lbs flywheel, and more ergonomic pedals with a 2-degree inward slope to reduce ankle stress.

A spokesperson states: “Our SOLE E25 and E35 are excellent choices for seniors. Both models offer a balance of simplicity and important features that cater to the needs of older adults, so you can feel more comfortable when you use them – and they’re safer to have in the home.”

For seniors in particular, stride length is one of the most important factors to consider when purchasing an elliptical machine for home cardio workouts, especially if they’ll be using it regularly – and 150 minutes per week is encouraged. Choosing a model that allows for a shorter stride can help to reduce risk of injury.

The guide also provides tips for using the machine – such as starting with lower resistance levels and gradually working up to a more intense session as required.

Customers purchasing any of these machines get complimentary access to the SOLE+ fitness app, which provides on-demand video workouts and can connect to the exercise equipment via Bluetooth, allowing users to track their progress and access guided sessions from home.

“Our workouts are made for all levels and range from 10 minutes to 60 minutes. We utilize heart rate metrics and data from your equipment across all of our workouts to help you work out smarter,” the company explains.
