Best Elliptical Cross Trainers UK (2025)

"The elliptical cross trainer is the master of low-impact, full-body conditioning. By recruiting the arms and legs simultaneously in a smooth oval motion, you burn more calories than a bike without the pounding impact of a treadmill. It's the perfect machine for sustainable weight loss and joint-friendly endurance training."
