The elliptical machine can also hurt the knee. Any movement will more or less cause damage to joints, muscles, ligaments and other parts. Any movement of the lower limbs will also cause permanent damage to the knee joint and knee cartilage. As long as you bend and extend your knees, it's impossible not to hurt your knees at all.

But as long as you use the elliptical machine scientifically, its knee injury is far lower than that of the treadmill, and the elliptical machine has much less impact on the knee. High-quality treadmills use various shock absorption methods to avoid knee joint injuries, but despite this, the knee joint injuries caused by tens of thousands of yuan treadmills are greater than that of the most common elliptical machine.

Of course, if you use the elliptical machine in the wrong posture, excessive exercise intensity, etc., it will still cause relatively large damage to the knee.

How to use the elliptical machine correctly to avoid knee injury? When using the elliptical machine, you must do a good job of warming up, master the correct posture, keep your heels away from the pedals, coordinate your arms with the movement, and grasp the exercise intensity.
