Cardio Exercises Cross Trainers Cross trainers use the arms and legs together, which make them good calorie burners. There are a variety of manufacturers and models available but most machines use a non-impact elliptical leg action that reduces the pressure on your knees and makes cross trainers ideal if you suffer from knee problems. Steppers Steppers replicate the action of climbing a flight of stairs and are a low-impact lower-body activity. Steppers can be either endless staircases that rotate where you have to keep pace with the moving steps or pedals that you push down on alternately. Both designs are effective cardio exercises and will also tone your legs. Upper-body Bikes Upper-body bikes, those that require you to pedal with your arms, are a useful alternative to most other cardio exercises that rely on the legs. Upper-body bikes are usually wheelchair accessible.
