About Elliptical Trainers Elliptical trainers represent the next wave of advancement in low-impact cardiovascular exercise machines and continue to grow in popularity. By simulating motions experienced through walking, stepping, cycling, and skiing, elliptical machines allow for a smooth and fluid motion while building strength in the arms and legs. Similar to the exercise position for treadmills, elliptical trainers are used by standing in an upright position while holding the handrails of the machine. With elliptical trainers, however, your feet remain in the foot pedals throughout the exercise regimen and circulate in a smooth and seamless motion, resulting in little to no impact on the knees, back, and hips.
Elliptical trainers are compatible for all ages and fitness levels and allow you to select the difficulty level through the incline and intensity settings. Additionally, elliptical trainers allow you to determine the complexity of your workout based on your needs, all while listening to music, watching television, or reading a magazine while exercising in the comfort and safety of your own home.
Although different types of elliptical trainers offer an assortment of features, many of them include an array of challenging programs, forward and reverse directional movement, EKG grip pulse handles, a lightweight portable design with easy fold-up capability, and a monitor displaying calories burned, distance, speed, time, and heart rate. Other types of exercise machines, namely treadmills and bikes, offer excellent cardiovascular exercise and muscular training for the legs in a forward-motion exercise. Elliptical trainers take this to the next level by offering an upper and lower body workout with dual motion, challenging and diverse programs, and a low-impact exercise machine that won't strain sensitive joints.

This review is from: Fitnex E70 Elliptical Trainer (Sports)
Awesome piece, first saw it in our companies workout gym and loved it. Had to get one for the home so my wife and older kids could use it. My wife uses it everyday while she watches her tv programs. Smooth feel, you just seem to glide on this elliptical. The programs can be pretty tough though so choose them wisely. Got a great price too from amazon.

This review is from: Fitnex E70 Elliptical Trainer (Sports)
Got this elliptical from amazon for a steal at $1599.The shipping company (Eagle)placed it in the room of my choice with no questions asked. This is one solidly built sleek looking machine that blows away the competition in this price range.The programs and resistance levels on this machine are quite tuff.The motion of this machine is extremely smooth and the footing is quite solid-no shimmy or shaking on this machine.Stride length seems just a bit short for me but i am accustomed to the Precor efx544 at the local gym.You have both foward and reverse motion.Tall users are better off researching a machine with a longer stride.The treadmill and elliptical review sites were quite helpful and were a great resource in helping me make my choice.I was considering the Sole e55,as that machine was also highly rated. Assembly was a snap,taking less than one hour for me and my daughter. Overall this is quite a nice machine.One thing you should know is that the warranty is no longer lifetime for...Read more
