Best gym equipment at home—Vanfit Elliptical-Cross Trainer: daydayNice
daydayNice is quite a hip space that looks like a coffee shop. They pay a lot of attention to not just the practicality but also design and beauty of the products that they represent. There are a lot of etherial and hang drums at the door. They don't just sell those instruments, but also have lessons.
On the left, was the main event of the day, the Vanfit Hobby Horse Elliptical Cross-trainer. In the corner, were also some other gym equipment such as the extremely popular rowing machine. If you are interested in any of them, you can make an appointment to test them out here at dayday Nice.
I saw the Vanfit Hobby Horse Elliptical Trainer on daydayNice's YouTube channel and am here to verify whether it can actually get me to sweat within 10 minute.
Best gym equipment at home—Vanfit Elliptical-Cross Trainer: Appearance
Most gym equipment are big and heavy, what's worse is they are black and ugly. We had a cross trainer and treadmill at home before. It was basically an interior designer's nightmare.
Vanfit's Elliptical-cross trainer is designed to meet the modern needs of interior beauty, using soft lines and simple colors. There's a wooden version that has a warm-toned walnut beech casing. There's also a plastic version which uses a light gray casing.
The enclosed desing not only makes it more easy on the eyes without the wheels and axles exposed, it's also a lot safer, especially for people with young children or pets at home.
Best gym equipment at home—Vanfit Elliptical-Cross Trainer: Easy to move
The Vanfit Elliptical-Cross Trainer is specifically designed for Asian body types, which is why it is particularly small and does not take up much space at home. It weights around 36 kilograms and has wheels in the front. Simply lift it from the back and you can roll it wherever you like. Whether you are seeking a change in decorations or simply moving it away for easy cleaning.
Another surprising feature is that the Vanfit Elliptical-Cross Trainer only requires one mercury battery for it's fitness stats display. So your movement and placement is not restricted by power outlets, there are also no ugly wires hanging around.
Best gym equipment at home—Vanfit Elliptical-Cross Trainer: Fitness Bar
The handles of Vanfit Elliptical Cross-Trainer are actually removable fitness bars that can be used separately.
Hold onto the fitness bar and use your core to control the movement of the bars. You can hold on to one with both hands, have one in each hand, or raise one above your head, which all provides different levels of non-cardio workout.When I was testing them out, I thought it was easy but actually felt pretty tired post-workout.
Best gym equipment at home—Vanfit Elliptical-Cross Trainer: Cardio + Non-Cardio
Other than the non-cardio brought to us by the fitness bars, the elliptical-cross trainer itself, introduces cardio.
When the handle bars are not removed, you can circle them outwards and stretch your chest as you train. You can also remove them and incorporate the non-cardio fitness bar workout. The combination helps us to quickly reach our desired training intensity in a short period of time. The highly efficient workout can bring you to sweat in 10–15 minutes. The cardio and non-cardio workout works in synergy, creating a balance between fat burn and muscle build. I think it is perfect for modern people who do not have a lot of time or patience.
Best gym equipment at home—Vanfit Elliptical-Cross Trainer: Different Settings
You can, of course, set the elliptical-cross trainer to different levels of intensity. There are 8 levels. I train on a daily basis, so I found level 8 to be perfect. My mother has knee issues, so she found level 1 to be good. She walked backwards on it and found that it relieved the pressure on her joints. Aside from the different levels of intensity and the option to incorporate the fitness bars, different positions can also help you train different parts of your body.
Best gym equipment at home—Vanfit Elliptical-Cross Trainer: Glutes and Abs
They have multiple 10-minute sessions on their YouTube channel that you can follow, and they all target different areas.
I am particularly focused on training my abs and glutes. So when I discovered that I could train my glutes with this elliptical-cross trainer, I was pleasantly surprised. When I bend forward and hold onto the center of the handles, pushing my hips back, I could distinctly feel that I have to push with my glutes. When I was training, I didn't think it was intense at all; however, when I got home, I had some mild muscle sore and felt glad that the training was useful.
