classifying the cardio wave machine?

amayzingamanda

There is a machine at my gym called the Cardio Wave. I like to refer to it as the spawn of satan. Either way, what would I classify that as in the exercise diary? Stepper? Ski machine?
Thoughts????

Stacera

Hahahahaaha I know that evil thing..um I guess it would be a ski machine...not 100% sure of that b/c it's different..but i kinda think it's more that than a stepper...=/

Id say, as "Satans most diabolical plan on Earth"?!? LOL


Nah seriously, tried looking for "eliptical machine" in the database?!?

its not really an elliptical though. its like....a lateral stepper type thing.
if you are a skiier....the motion you use to "skate" when on the skis is the same motion as this machine.

if that doesnt make sense, google it. I'd post a pic but I have no idea how.

I just use Elliptical for this. I know it's different and it probably burns more calories than an elliptical but I just go with what it says. I'd rather under-estimate calories burned then over-estimate.

i used elliptical last time. I can use that again I guess. I was just curious if there was anything else similar.

thanks all!

I log the jerk as Stair-treadmill ergometer, general. Its not quite right, but I'm too cheap for a HRM.
