Elliptical machines

Less impactful on your joints than a treadmill, an elliptical lets you move your legs in oblong rotations that work your calves, quads, and glutes. Like a treadmill, these can have preset routines that mimic traveling over distance. Ellipticals also have a great strength-training component because they have poles that your hands grip, working your triceps and biceps like skis while you exercise. This increases the cardio aspect and improves your overall strength and fitness.
