Abaqeqeshi be-elliptical basiza abasebenzisi ukuthi bahlale bephilile ngokomzimba, bakhe ukukhuthazela namandla, futhi banciphise isisindo, ngenkathi behlinzeka ngokuzivocavoca kwe-aerobic okungenamthelela omkhulu okusiza ukunciphisa ingozi yokulimala. Ukunyakaza komqeqeshi we-elliptical kulingisa ukunyakaza kwemvelo kokugijima nokunyathela. Ukusebenzisa umqeqeshi we-elliptical kunikeza ukuzivocavoca okuhle kakhulu kwenhliziyo nemithambo yegazi ngengozi encane yokulimala. Impilo enhle yenhliziyo nemithambo yegazi isiza ukwehlisa umfutho wegazi namazinga e-cholesterol futhi kunciphisa ingozi yesifo sikashukela sohlobo 2 kanye nomdlavuza othile. Sekukonke, abaqeqeshi be-elliptical banikeza isisekelo esihle sohlelo lokuzivocavoca olujwayelekile.
Ukunyakaza kwemilenze komqeqeshi we-elliptical kuzivocavoca i-gluteus maximus (glutes), i-quadriceps femoris (quads), i-hamstrings, kanye namathole lapho umsebenzisi emi eqondile. Uma umsebenzisi egoba phambili ngenkathi evivinya umzimba, khona-ke ama-glute azothola inzuzo enkulu kulo msebenzi. Ukunyakaza kwengalo komqeqeshi we-elliptical kusiza imisipha eminingi yomzimba ongaphezulu njenge-biceps (biceps brachii), i-triceps (triceps brachii), i-rear delts (deltoids), i-lats (latissimus dorsi), i-traps (trapezius), kanye ne-pectorals (pectoralis major and minor). Kodwa-ke, njengoba umqeqeshi we-elliptical enikeza ukuzivocavoca kwe-aerobic, imisipha eyinhloko evivinywayo yinhliziyo.
