Although Technogym’s Cardio Wave might not fit in the traditional elliptical machine category, we found it so innovative that we had to include it in our “Best Of” elliptical review. The Cardio Wave gives you a fabulous low-impact workout like an elliptical but your legs work side to side with a movement similar to rollerblading. This motion works your muscles on three different planes of movement instead of just a single linear plane to combine extension, abduction and external rotation. This aerobic combination can give you unequalled calorie burning and muscle toning. Cardio Wave’s patent pending biomechanics ensures natural foot positioning during the workout, which not only keeps you safe but also maximizes the effectiveness of your efforts. Never heard of Technogym? No need to worry, this equipment manufacturer powerhouse has been picked as the official supplier for the Beijing Olympics. Bottom line – the Cardio Wave will give you a refreshing workout that engages your lower limbs, core and glutes. In fact, Technogym touts how effectively the Cardio Wave works your glutes, and really, who doesn’t need a little help back there?

After thorough independent research, we selected the Technogym Cardio Wave as a 3LUXE "Best Of", to see our other two Elliptical selections visit our Elliptical Overview.
