Why hasn't Jow Forums taken the elliptical pill yet?

u just learned the word impact didnt u? imagine thinking soft sand is bad on joints. that feel when muscles are literally made for controlling ur body and not realizing low and high impact is a choice by the person exercising. dont land hard as fuck on ur heels and ur fine dude. jesus.

>being scared of running
Unironically post body. Preferably legs.

based
that may be true, but still doesn't engage the whole body
you are kidding yourself if you think you're putting more stress on your joints with the elliptical than full blown running on sand. focus on the most efficient work out, not the prettiest scenery to post on instagram
>being this much of a brainlet
next come the feet pics, fuck off faggot

>that may be true, but still doesn't engage the whole body
Neither does the elliptical.

This isn't reddit where you get to experience your own echochamber and get to get "gud felins" cause everyone is circle jerking each other. This is 4 chan. It's nitty. It's gritty. And you should honestly rethink your time spent here thinking you know so much when I doubt you have even spent more than 2 weeks worth of physiology education.
>imagine being scared of something that had been done for over thousands of years and here I am getting called a brainlet.
Oh the irony.

I don't see how it doesn't, but let's assume you're right: it engages far more of your body than cycling and the same as running (if not more) than running but with less impact.

Oh the irony. Even a person with a basic knowledge of physics could tell you ellipticals are lower impact. That wasn't the issue I was addressing. The issue I was addressing is being weak and afraid of running. Something that has been done for centuries. Since the dawn of man even. People who live in fear are usually some of the most unsuccessful people in life. The issue is not joint impact. The issue is being such a soilent dyel nerd that you literally avoid running altogether because you're so worried about your joints.

Also, you haven't posted body with a timestamp. Therefore, I think it's fair to assume you're dyel mode.

Stairs (or any running) absolutely engages more of the body than elliptical. Your study lists elliptical vs walking for cripples.

>That wasn't the issue I was addressing.
Then you truly are retarded since you're missing the point entirely. I'm presenting an argument that the elliptical is the best option for cardio since it's lowest in impact and engages more of the body. absolute failure.
>fuck the long term consequences, I care more about what faggots on an anime board think of me!
>but I'm not a brainlet though

nice try, a simple glance at a full range of motion on an elliptical reveals they're using more of their body than the stairs, see pic related. Also the study reviews healthy and non-healthy adults

because it looks dumb

the amount of cope is beautiful to watch. keep sliding back and forth on that elliptical And we'll keep doing full body real cardio outside

I was once where you are. But found a better one.
Adaptive motion trainer is better

I trained up on elliptical from 5min to 40min intervals. I started increasing speed and difficulty. Hardly makes me tired or out if breath anymore.

Did treadmill, but main limiter is shin splints i get after a run for speed. Although, just now found heavy incline walking while carrying dumbbells is excellent body conditioning thats low impact.

For warmups amd general cardio sessions i use AMT. More complete movement. Get DOMs of entire legs/ass if you use it right.
CANNOT CHEAT like elliptical (has weighted wheel that you can "ride" momentum). On amt, every step has be be your avtive efforts.

Also, feeps like you are controlling a giant mech

based. I started barefoot running as well, it's amazing how much your calves work compared to normal running shoes. It feels so intuitive as well

As long as your not running marathons every week you're not going to damage yourself. A 30 minute run on the beach is not "high impact"

Being dumb is looking dumb, and you choosing a higher impact workout that doesn't engage as much of your body is being dumb.
>not a single rebuttal
seethe
AMT is based, that coheres with my argument well.

Are you going to sit there with a straight face and tell me that the elliptical is higher impact than running on the beach? seriously...?

Honestly i run twice a week and do 40 mins of elliptical twice a week solely because my legs will be fucked to shit by leg day if i run more than twice a week

I'm not saying it's lower impact than an elliptical, I'm saying it's not bad for you. Just don't overdo it like anything in life

LISS sucks and HIIT is better on a bike

So running is higher impact than the elliptical then? I don't think running is bad for you, I'm simply making the argument that you can get the same benefits (if not more) with lower impact thus the elliptical is better than running.

Running is for dyels. When you're actually big that shit is bad for your joints.

Nothing more alpha than a double bypass at age 45. Joints don’t matter if your ticker shits out

For me I can't do cardio indoors, it's too boring being stationary. I think running in nature has mental benefits you can't from being on an elliptical. Also you're not training your feet muscles on an elliptical. Other than that I guess the benefits are the same
