Designed in Italy, the Vario is essentially a non-impact machine; this carries the added benefit of being able to strengthen joints, bones, and muscles without risk of injury and future joint problems. It provides an intense physical activity burning up to 200 calories in 20 minutes. Unlike a traditional fixed movement cross trainer, the Vario offers the option to define your unique path or motion. It’s perfect for you if you want to lose weight, burn calories without exertion, improve your coordination, help prevent joint problems and move all the muscles in your body in a single training session. It’s fun to use because it offers you three different movements – step, elliptical, and Vario – which you can change without the need to stop the machine or take your feet off the platforms. The step is much like how you would climb up and down stairs without the impact. The elliptical is performed by moving your legs in an orbital pattern like during a brisk walk. The Vario is similar to an athlete’s sprint consisting of long wide strides. Through all of these motions, you can put together a workout that feels natural yet provides your body with a new challenge every time.
