The StreetStrider

Have you ever exercised on elliptical trainer at a gym and wish you could do it outside?

Now you can. StreetStrider is like an elliptical trainer on three wheels which feels as though you have blended together jogging, biking, and cross-country skiing. Your feet move in an elliptical motion which drives the chain forward, while your arms push the poles to also move you forward. Therefore, the StreetStrider gives you a full-body workout that is easy on the joints.

The American Council on Exercise sponsored a research team to compare the workout on a StreetStrider with an elliptical trainer. The results of the study concluded that the StreetStrider burned more calories and triggered higher heart rates than an elliptical trainer. Therefore, the StreetStrider is a great workout!
