Introduction:
There is no denying that the elliptical cross trainer is the best selling exercise equipment on the market today. With their modern and busy lifestyles, most people don’t have time to travel to a gym for exercise. Recognizing that staying fit is important, many have chosen to exercise at home, in private, and at their own pace. These machines are a good option for these people, as they provide a total body workout that maximizes time spent exercising. Here’s a short review of one we quite like: the Vision Fitness Elite X6100 HR
General rating:
4.5 out of 5.0 stars
Main features:
The X6100 is an excellent value in a full-featured elliptical. Featuring a durable and rugged ECB-Plus ™ motor-operated resistance system that offers smooth, fluid operation and shifts on demand with the push of a button. We also like the easy-to-read backlit blue LCD console that includes 5 programs along with a scrolling message center. This is a great elliptical machine for those who have limited space because the arms fold down comfortably for easy storage.
Price: Approximately £ 799.00
Product description:
The Vision Fitness Elite X61 HR trainer has all the features you would expect from a much more expensive machine. Provides a wealth of feedback during your workout, including displaying your heart rate, watts, time, speed, distance, RPM, calories, program, level, and profile. By the way, watts are a measure of power that helps you know how much you are working. It indicates how much energy you are burning over time during your workout. For example, if you exercise at a speed of 42 watts for 100 seconds, you have used up a calorie. A recent review in Health enthusiastic magazine:
This elliptical exerciser is made of heavy gauge steel and folds to less than 4 feet long, making it a good fit for almost any room … This is a solid, smooth, and quiet unit. The easy-to-decipher console offers five program options … and three other types of workout feedback. The X6100 also has handles that detect your heart rate on contact and a reading shelf in case you need a distraction.
