Hi everyone! This might sound like a stupid question but.. what is the difference with these 3.. arc trainer, elliptical & cross trainer? I've seen different kinds at our gym but mainly always use the PreCor elliptical.. I'm trying to use the elliptical as my main source of cardio now as I'm still trying to lose lower belly & thigh fat.. although we cannot spot reduce, I figured burning overall body fat is the way to go.

    I'm not a trainer, nor do I play one on TV . All three machines do the same thing provided YOU put in the effort: Help YOU to burn calories. Now I'll let someone who knows what they're talking about explain the physical attributes of each cardiovascular application ;-).

    I found this doing a search for arc trainers and am bumping because only one person answered...what is the difference btw arc trainer and elliptical? My gym has both but I just thought they were different brands of the same type of machine.
