There seems to be a lot of fan fare in the fitness equipment industry concerning Elliptical Trainers and which one has the best Bio-mechanics and Ergonomics. You should understand what the words mean, so you can make a fair assessment on a elliptical machine purchase. Bio-mechanics means, the study of the anatomical principles of movement and Ergonomics means, the study of optimizing the interface between human beings, and the designed objects and environments they interact with.

In everyday English, Bio-mechanics is the study of how your body moves and Ergonomics is the study of how to build a machine that moves like your body does so you feel comfortable using the machine. For an Elliptical Trainer this means it should have a smooth, continuous foot motion, an ellipse pattern that is level and simulates walking or running. On a Sole Elliptical Trainer you will feel comfortable throughout your entire workout and get the most out of your efforts.
