Wireless heart rate control
This trainer is equipped with wireless heart rate control. When this feature is selected a wireless transmitter sends data regarding your heart rate to the machine’s computer and this information is then used to modify intensity of the workout.
The machine is effectively changing its intensity in sympathy with your heart rate and allows you to exercise within your target heart rate zone.This method of training is popular with many athletes.
Ergonomic pedals
The pivoting foot pedals provide support for your heel while permitting your ankle joint to assume its natural position through the pedal’s movement. Optimal positioning is provided during the pedal’s transition and is critical to avoiding harmful impact to your ankle, knee and hip.
High mass flywheel
A heavy flywheel is utilized in the design of this machine.The high inertia of this flywheel smoothes out the action of the machine and ensures that it is free from any jerkiness of movement that is sometimes a characteristic of cheaper elliptical trainers.
Magnetic braking
The latest, advanced magnetic braking is used which results in silky, smooth speed changes and stops even during the most vigorous workouts sessions.
Integral sound system
The trainer is fitted with the “SmoothSound” integrated MP3 audio system. To use this music feature you simply connect an iPOD, MP3 or CD player to the LINE IN jack on the console. You can then listen to the music, either through headphones or the powerful speakers. There is a conveniently placed control knob to adjust the volume.
Reading rack
A small ledge mounted on the console in front of the display screen can be used to hold a book, magazine, phone, MP3 player or a tablet computer.
Workout cooling fan
A vigorous workout can leave you “hot and bothered”, but this trainer offers the comfort of an integrated workout cooling fan. The fan has 3 operating speeds and is adjustable so the air stream can be directed to your personal liking.
Drinks holder
