Manchester, England -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/13/2015 -- Cross Trainer Advice, one of the leading online authorities on cross trainers, stepper machines, and other exercise equipment, published an important new guide to Cross Trainer Benefits. With cross trainer machines taking up a growing share of the average gym's floor plan and increasingly showing up in residential settings, many fitness-focused people are interested in learning more about what they have to offer. The new Cross Trainer Advice guide to such machines and their benefits will therefore be of great interest to a wide audience.

"Committing to getting in shape or staying that way is just a start," Cross Trainer Advice representative Dan Rogers said, "Understanding how to make the most of one's time and effort is every bit as important. Our new guide to the proven benefits of cross trainer machines will give our readers valuable grounding that they can put directly to use in their own fitness pursuits."

Before 1995, the selection of cardiovascular-focused exercise equipment at most gyms was confined to treadmills and exercise bikes. In that year, fitness equipment manufacturer Precor introduced the first elliptical-motion exercise machine, a device meant to allow for a challenging workout with very low impact and stresses on the joints of users.

Since then, cross trainers have become one of the most popular ways of all of exercising indoors. Because their smooth, elliptical motion eliminates one major source of discomfort in the form of repetitive impacts, cross trainers can encourage users to work their cardiovascular systems and muscles harder. That can result in everything from greater caloric expenditure over the course of a given session to more consistent long-term adherence to an exercise program.

Even with these advantages, though, cross trainers are not always well understood by users and consumers. As prices on high quality home-targeted machines have come down, for example, many more people have become interested in acquiring their own, only to find themselves bewildered by the rapidly expanding number of options on the market.

Cross Trainer Advice was founded to help cut through this confusion by providing clear, practical information for anyone interested in cross trainers or other exercise equipment. The site's editors maintain an updated list of the best cross trainers at each of a number of price points, for example, allowing visitors to quickly select the best machine for their own needs and budget.

The new guide to the benefits of cross trainers will answer some of the questions most commonly asked by site readers. In plain, simple terms, it details how making regular use of a cross trainer can be an important, productive part of a fitness plan, as well as how users can maximize the benefits they derive. Other recently published articles at Cross Trainer Advice include a look at the top compact stepper machine models on the market and several new reviews of top cross trainer models.
