Elliptical trainers are evolving into even more efficient fitness machines than they were in their infancy. One of the most innovative and efficient elliptical trainers on the market today very well may be the new Yowza Fitness Captiva!
What makes the Yowza Fitness Captiva elliptical trainer so efficient? Perhaps it's the way this machine not only works your upper and lower body, but it also works the core muscles unlike any other elliptical machine.
Cardio Core Training
Whereas the traditional elliptical trainer primarily focuses on providing a decent cardio workout, the Yowza Fitness Captiva has gone above and beyond cardio exercise! In fact, this cross-training machine is also known as a cardio core training elliptical.
Cardio exercise is important to improving endurance, burning calories, improving and maintaining an effective metabolism, and building a stronger heart. Core training strengthens the abs and back, which make up the core of the body. A strong core leads to good posture, reduces the risk of back injury and pain, and aids in performing certain sports and activities. When you combine the two types of exercise, you get a more efficient overall workout.
The Yowza Fitness Captiva elliptical trainer comes with a T-shaped handlebar that swings right and left as you work the foot pedals. When you hold onto this handlebar, the swinging motion forces your body to constantly twist, thereby working your core muscles. The traditional elliptical trainer, on the other hand, has handlebars that move back and forth with the motion of the pedals. Unless you consciously put effort into the movement of the handlebars, you don't really get a very good upper body workout on the traditional trainer.
People who have tried the Captiva elliptical machine have commented that the motion of the handlebar does, indeed, noticeably work the abs and back!
Other Features Found on the Yowza Fitness Captiva Elliptical
Additional features on the Yowza Fitness Captiva elliptical machine include:
- Variable motion - The variable motion on this machine is much more than just a variety of elliptical stride lengths. You can actually change the shape of the stride, as well as the length! There are 12 motions from which to choose! The first motion is similar to the more common elliptical stride: 18" long and almost flat and oval in shape. As you move up through the 12 motions, you'll find that the stride length increases, and you'll have to lift your leg a little higher towards the front of the stride with each subsequent motion. This puts less pressure on the knees than the traditional elliptical motion. The benefits of the variable motion are that it allows you to work the lower body muscles differently and it cranks up the intensity level of the cardio exercise with each higher motion.
- iPod docking station - Many individuals find that exercise sessions seem less tedious if they listen to music or audio books during workouts. With the iPod docking station, you can do just that!
- Cooling fan - Add this feature to your elliptical for a breath of air to keep you cooler as you exercise. The fan comes with 3 speeds for your personal comfort.
- SureFit pedals - These pedals pivot with the elliptical motion and absorb impact to protect your knees and ankles.
The Yowza Fitness Captiva Elliptical Trainer - Our Review
My spouse tried out the new Yowza Fitness Captiva elliptical trainer and was rather pleased with this machine. The cardio core training design of the Captiva truly works the upper and lower body simultaneously. Calories are efficiently burned as the abdominal muscles are effectively targeted.
The variable motion of the Captiva elliptical trainer not only changes the length of the stride, but it also changes the shape of the motion. The lower motions tend to target the quads. The higher motions focus more on the hamstrings, hip flexors, and lower back. The knees experience less pressure than they would on a traditional elliptical trainer.
Now, one drawback to the Yowza Fitness Captiva trainer is that it is a bit pricey. Nevertheless, you're going to have to spend a little more if you want a good quality machine that offers an innovative workout.

Triathlon Bike Tips: Three Reasons to Train Indoors
I like training outside, especially on the bike. I like the scenery, I like the wind rushing against my face, and I like going fast. Although I enjoy the feeling of being outdoors, I have noticed my workouts are not nearly as effective as when I train indoors on a CompuTrainer, or a spin bike with a power meter. A one-hour ride indoors for me is comparable to two to three hours riding outside.
Training outside can be fun and there is definitely a need for it in any good training plan, but those that train exclusively outdoors are missing out on opportunities to increase their cycling performance. When you ride outside, there are many variables that can keep you from having an optimal workout. It is also very easy to not push yourself as hard as you should be for maximum performance gains. So what is so beneficial about indoor training anyway?
1. Controlled environment
Indoor training allows a rider to control their surroundings. No extreme temperatures, cars, wind, flat tires, and stoplights means you can get a great workout in, every time. It is also a lot safer.
You can buy, or create, workouts with sets and intervals that work on specific parts of your cycling repertoire, such as endurance, speed, or power. Since your environment is always the same, it is very easy to track your workouts week-to-week and see if you are getting better, and if so, in what areas. It is very difficult to do a structured workout outdoors with constantly changing terrain. Even comparing your times on the exact same bike route can be skewed by changes in weather, stoplight sequences, flats, wind etc. Just like track workouts for running, indoor cycling sessions are an important part of any athletes training plan.
2. Save time
Training indoors is more intense than riding outside since there are no distractions. It is just you and your bike, so you can really focus on your pedaling efficiency, power production (if you have a power meter), and exertion levels. Riding outdoors usually involves frequent stopping for lights, cars, and many will take it easy on the downhills. Indoor training eliminates this and ensures you get the best workout you can in the shortest time possible.
3. Get better, faster
What would happen if every time a body builder went to the gym, he did not really have a plan besides knowing he would lift for about an hour? Would he get stronger and bigger over time? Of course. Could he get bigger and stronger in less time if he had more structure? Absolutely. Obviously the goal here is not to get bigger, but it is to get stronger, faster, and more efficient.
All the time I here people say, “I have to go ride fill in the blank miles today. ” Don’t get me wrong, you do need to make sure you get enough miles in to get your body used to the distance, but people rely on “the miles” too much. Just because someone goes out and rides 60 miles does not mean they got a great workout. It is very possible to have a five or ten mile workout that is much more intense and benefits the athlete more than a long and slow 60 miler. As with most things, quality is better than quantity.
Training indoors allows the athlete to have structure and really focus on what they want to accomplish. It may get a little boring, but there are ways around that. Crank up some music on your stereo or MP3 player. Dislike training alone? Take a spin class. If you hate staring at the wall, look into getting a CompuTrainer, or get some quality cycling DVDs that can guide you through a workout. Keep training only outdoors if you are just doing it for fun. If you really want to be a better cyclist, consider adding a healthy dose of indoor training to your training schedule. What better time to train indoors than the winter off-season?

What is a good size and brand crank set for my 2009 Fuji Track bike?
I have a 2009 Fuji Track. It has a 42t chainring i believe and 170 size cranks. When i ride my cages and straps scrape against the ground and occasionally my cranks do to. What is a good brand and size crank for my bike?
Well, when you say, "my cages and straps scrape against the ground," do you mean that you're putting your foot on the underside of the pedal so that the cages and straps are hanging down below the pedal as you ride?
If so, you're doing it wrong and you should either remove the cages and straps or flip the pedal over and put your foot into it correctly.
Other than that, the "standard" length for track cranks is 165mm and the size of the chainring will depend on the size of the cog, so you should use a gear chart to figure out the proper gear ratio for you and get a chainring/cog combo to achieve that ratio, and, since your frame is Japanese, why not go with Japanese components, too, and get Dura-Ace track stuff if you can afford it?
Good luck, and the link below is to a gear chart webpage...
