Using Elliptical Trainer Reviews

January 1st, 2010

The latest elliptical trainers are very easy to learn to use. A quick familiarization by a professional and you are ready to burn calories with a total body workout. The electronics provide you with a wealth of information on your performance and give you programmed routines to help you get started. Many elliptical machines even have the ability to monitor your heart rate, the distance you ran and how many calories you burn. If you are considering the purchase of an trainer for your home or office we suggest that you use elliptical trainer reviews to compare which are the best choice to buy.

Many fitness professionals feel that elliptical trainers are possibly the best piece of exercise equipment on the market today. In choosing one, you will need to consider a number of factors. People who are considering buying one must consider the functions and durability to give the owner the best satisfaction in exercising. Exercising should also be made easy and less complicated. The best and most reliable elliptical cross trainers cost at least $1000. In addition you should consider purchasing an extended warranty when you make your purchase. Again if you carefully research the information within elliptical trainer reviews it will help you to find the machine that you are looking for.

You should give consideration to what kind of drive each trainer uses, the resistance system, its stride length, programming, electronics, consol, heart rate control, and warranty. You may decide to choose a trainer with a rear drive or a front drive. Rear flywheel or drive units provide a real smooth stride which may feel more comfortable to you. A front drive will provide the same workout and in some case provide a longer stride. No matter which design you choose you should take the time to take each elliptical trainer you are considering for a test ride of 30 minutes or more.

You should also consider the type of resistance each elliptical machine employs. All quality trainers will allow you to change the resistance by using the controls on the console. Be sure to check on the reliability of each unit you are considering. Good reviews like those employed by Amazon.com will give you an indication as what models have design and reliability problems. If you are tall then you should definitely consider selecting a trainer with a longer stride length. A longer stride length will also allow you to vary your exercise routine as you become more fit. Programming may as well affect your decision in buying a trainer. Choose a machine with programs that will offer you the variety you need. This will depend on the exerciser’s personal preference so you should carefully check what routines and programs are available for each machine. Some people would want to manually select their program while others want something that is preprogrammed.

Ultimately, quality will be your first priority when choosing an elliptical, features such as exercise programs; stride length and other features while important are secondary. In general a better quality machine will have more features included. It is important each products, again seriously consider purchasing an extended warranty whenever you are purchase any piece of exercise equipment. Remember reliability is the key to any piece of exercise equipment. If your machine is down and broken waiting to be repaired even if the breakdown is covered by warranty obviously you cannot use it. Again we strongly recommend that you spend at least $1000 for an elliptical trainer as you really do get what you pay for when it comes to exercise equipment.

Elliptical Reviews of 3 Great Trainers

December 10th, 2009

The Proform 20.0 Elliptical Review

While almost any elliptical trainer will let you program its different features to customize your workouts, the $800.00 Proform 20.0 not only lets you tailor your exercise routine; it lets you tailor the music to which you listen while your are working out. The Proform 20.0 has both am MP3 player and an iPod with the stereo speakers to make them sound their best, so you can keep movin’ to the beat.

But that speaker system will also let you listen to the Proform 20.0’s personal voice coach who will keep you going as you move through the different stages of your routine. The personal voice coach feature is usually found only on the most expensive Elliptical trainers. And if that weren’t enough, the Proform 20.0 also lets you play interactive games during your routine!

The Smooth CE 3.2 Elliptical Review

This is one elliptical trainer which is perfectly named, with its flywheel operated action among the smoothest available on any elliptical trainer at any price. The flywheel replaces the rollers which are standard on most elliptical trainers, creating a fluid movement which is only enhanced by the Smooth CE 3.2’s advanced brakes and easy stops.

The CE 3.2’s foot pedals let you maintain the correct foot position throughout your workout, and are engineered to minimize the stress on your joints. The machine is also loaded with electronic options, so that you can program your workout to your own specifications. The machine runs slightly more than a thousand dollars, which is not at all high given its may features.

The Sole E95 Elliptical Review

Sole’s elliptical trainers just keep getting better and better, and the Sole E95, at just under two thousand dollars, is no exception. Loaded with comfort-enhancing features, including its remarkable hand grips and adjustable foot pedals, the Sole E95 has not only twenty programs from which to choose, but twenty resistance levels.

And the Sole E95 is so solidly constructed that it can accommodate users of up to an astonishing four hundred pounds, while only a handful of other ellipticals can manage as much as three hundred and fifty. These are just a few of the features which have earned the Sole E95 elliptical reviews from many experts as the best value in its price range.

We’ve provided elliptical reviews on three elliptical machine we think are worthy of a look, and if you research them further, you’ll discover that they are widely regarded as the best values for their costs.

Schwinn Elliptical Trainer Reviews

December 2nd, 2009

The goal of buying any fitness equipment is to get the best value in your price range. Within the last few years, elliptical trainers have grown in popularity. Their appeal is two-fold. They offer a low-impact, and simultaneous upper and lower body workout. They have become particularly appealing to an aging baby boomer generation, who are looking for a form of exercise that is less stressful to their joints.

One of the better values in the $1,000 price range is the Schwinn Elliptical Trainers. Putting this into perspective, the Schwinn ellipticals are not your health club machines like Precor and Life Fitness. They are a moderately priced and ideal for those who want the convenience of working out at home, but have a limited budget.

Schwinn offers 2 models, the 418 and the 438. They are mechanically the same, with the 438 offering extra features like wireless heart rate control and an upgraded console. You can find the 418 as low as $799, and the 438 starting around $999, and it is the price that makes them so appealing. In the $800-$1,000 price range, you often find machines that are poorly constructed, and built with cheap components. The quality of your workout suffers.

The Schwinn ellipticals have an 18” stride, which can comfortably handle the majority of users. Often ellipticals in this price range have a choppy and bouncy motion. The Schwinn feels like you are walking in the air. That is what you want from an elliptical trainer.

The machines are equipped with eddy current magnetic brake system, which contributes to the smooth and quiet motion. They incorporate articulating foot pedals that angle with the motion. This reduces stress on your legs and prevents numbness. They come with a two-year warranty on parts, one-year on the electronics and you get 6-months service coverage.

A strong endorsement was a “Best Buy” rating from Consumer Reports. They gave it an “Excellent” for quality. There were several other ellipticals that received “Excellent” ratings – they started at $2,100.

You can find Schwinn ellipticals at select fitness specialty stores. In addition, their available through numerous online outlets. The prices can vary, so shop around.

If you are looking a for a good budget elliptical trainer, the Schwinn is worth considering.

Elliptical Trainer Reviews Don’t Get The Facts Straight

November 29th, 2009


Image : http://www.flickr.com

There are many misconceptions regarding elliptical trainers. I believe this is a result of the large number of elliptical trainer reviews Websites popping up on the Internet each and every day. In an effort to tout the benefits of elliptical training, Webmasters post the usual laundry list of the well-publicized advantages of elliptical trainers. In the process, like the old game of “Telephone”, each time the message is repeated, it gets slightly or sometimes significantly garbled in the retelling.

To make matters even worse, sometimes medical and fitness professionals along with the manufacturers of elliptical trainers will give out unproven or even incorrect information. This article will address the most common misconceptions and inaccuracies regarding elliptical trainers.

1. Elliptical trainers are zero impact fitness machines — Since back here on the planet Earth where all mass is subject to the Law of Gravity you will still experience some impact when using an elliptical trainer. There’s just no way around this. Not even in the zero gravity environment of outer space, since an elliptical requires gravity in order to work. I’m sure Sir Isaac Newton would be spinning in his grave if he knew how many times this misconception gets propagated.

Yes, elliptical trainers are LOW-impact machines and the impact is noticeably less than running on a treadmill, but there is still a small degree of impact. People who have knee injuries or chronic tendonitis in their knees may find that even the low impact forces of an elliptical trainer to be uncomfortable.

2. Elliptical trainers are not weight bearing — This is a corollary to Misconception #1. The fact that you are standing up on the foot pedals when using an elliptical trainer makes it a weight bearing exercise. Again the force of gravity is acting upon the mass of your body, which is supported by your legs. It’s not the same as when you are seated on a stationary bike or rowing machine. Weight bearing exercises such as elliptical training are a good way to strengthen the bones in your lower back and hips.

3. You need to workout longer on an elliptical trainer than on a treadmill because the higher impact of the treadmill causes you to expend more energy — The goal of any aerobic exercise is to get your heart rate into an elevated state — either in a fat-burning or cardio-conditioning zone and keep it there for the duration of your training session. Subjecting your joints to excessive impact in order to get there is just plain crazy! The way to do this is to get the large muscles of your lower body in motion and if you can also involve the muscles of your upper body by using the moveable handles of an elliptical trainer then so much the better.

4. The upper body handles of an elliptical trainer are meant to build up the muscles of your upper body — There is actually a small bit of truth to this belief, but the thing to remember is that cardio machines are aerobic in nature and are not very effective at building muscle. Save muscle building for your weight training sessions.

The real benefit of upper body handles on an elliptical trainer is to involve the muscles of your upper body in the exercise in order to get your heart rate up quicker. The more pieces you get working at the same time the more efficient the whole process becomes.

5. It’s possible to build a high-quality elliptical trainer using cheap components and cheap labor — This is hands down the biggest misconception out there. It’s mostly put forth by the fitness equipment manufacturers, but unfortunately many consumers fool themselves into believing it’s true.

People certainly can’t be faulted for wanting to save money and when faced with better quality ellipticals that sell for upwards of $800 and beyond, they settle for the $150 special from Wal-Mart. In most cases this turns out to be a purchasing decision they soon come to regret. The machine is unsteady and creaky and then just self-destructs after a short period of time.

The best advice is to take your time, do your homework and make an informed decision after weighing all of the risks against all of the benefits.

Finding Good Elliptical Reviews

November 21st, 2009


Image : http://www.flickr.com

When you’re making a big purchase, you definitely have to do your research. It’s not enough to rely on the word of people you know – sometimes what they recommend isn’t the best in the market. After all, the experience of most consumers is only limited to the stuff they actually try and buy. It would make your contacts more reliable, however, if they’d had the foresight to look through reviews on the Internet and magazines before they made their own purchases. If a person wants to buy a good elliptical trainer, for example, he or she would do well to read up on elliptical reviews.

Buying big things is making a long-term investment. You just don’t waltz into a store and make a purchase, thinking you can always return it later if it doesn’t work out for you. Wouldn’t you rather save yourself the time and trouble of going through things by trial and error, then going back and forth from the shop if you don’t like the things you chose? These are some of the things that reading elliptical reviews can prevent.

There’s also the risk that you’ll damage the item you purchased – and then what choice do you have but to own it? If you’re going to have to buy something you tried anyway, it may as well be something you could really use! Read up and don’t fall into the common try-and-buy pitfalls.

The Internet is a good place to start if you’re hunting for feedback. Good reviews can be found in places where buyers congregate, such as epinions.com and consumerreviews.com. If you’re not all that used to the Internet, you might be surprised to find how ready people are to give out good information that strangers will find useful. Though the reviewers may be anonymous, a little effort on your part to distinguish truth from fiction would allow you to make a good decision. Say if there is too much positive but unfounded feedback, chances are this particular product’s review page has been overrun by reviewers on the manufacturer’s payroll.

Many older, more reliable review sites enforce registration for all reviewers, and the sort of registration they call for requires a new signup to provide only truthful, verifiable information. This makes reviewers for this site more credible. An example of such review sites is Amazon.com. While Amazon is mostly known as a vast online store, it allows for reliable user reviews, and even has a cool rating system to match! You could even find good elliptical reviews in this site.

Best-elliptical-machines.com provides you with the latest ins and outs on elliptical reviews and much more, come take a look!
