Which is better for weight loss between using an ellipsometer or a treadmill

The weight loss effects of ellipsometer and treadmill have their own advantages, and the specific choice depends on personal exercise habits and physical conditions. Ellipticians are more suitable for people with joint sensitivity, while treadmills have a more significant improvement in cardiovascular function. The ellipsometer simulates climbing or walking movements to achieve low impact aerobic exercise. During exercise, both feet are fully pressed against the pedals, and the knee joint bears less pressure. Its resistance regulation function can specifically strengthen the lower limb muscle groups. During exercise, the upper limb push-pull rod can synchronously activate the shoulder and back muscles, and the heat consumption per unit time is similar to that of a treadmill. Treadmills achieve high-intensity interval training by adjusting speed and slope, which has significant advantages in improving maximum oxygen uptake and fat burning efficiency. However, continuous running may have a significant impact on the ankle and knee joints. Both devices can promote fat breakdown through continuous aerobic exercise for more than 30 minutes, and maintaining a heart rate in the range of 60% -70% of maximum heart rate during exercise can achieve the best weight loss effect. The movement trajectory of the

ellipsometer is fixed, making it more suitable for exercisers with a large body weight or joint degenerative diseases. Its magnetic control system can achieve silent movement. Treadmills require high control over exercise posture. When running quickly, it is important to maintain core stability. Setting the slope to 6-10 degrees can significantly increase the recruitment of hip muscles. For people with weak sports foundation, it is recommended to start adapting from the elliptical apparatus and gradually transition to treadmill interval training. Alternating the use of two types of equipment can avoid the plateau period. It is recommended to perform 4-5 aerobic training sessions per week, each lasting 40-60 minutes. Combined with dietary control, a healthy weight loss rate of 0.5-1 kg per week can be achieved.

Adequate warm-up and stretching should be done before and after exercise. When using an ellipsometer, pay attention to keeping the torso upright to avoid waist compensation. When using a treadmill, wear a safety clip to prevent accidental falls. It is recommended to evaluate the weight loss effect based on changes in body fat percentage rather than just weight numbers, combined with resistance training to prevent muscle loss. If discomfort symptoms such as joint pain or dizziness occur, exercise should be stopped immediately, and if necessary, a professional rehabilitation therapist should be consulted to adjust the training plan.
