Nordic Track Elliptical Trainer Information

The Nordic Track band name is now owned by Icon Health and
largest manufactures of
fitness equipment in the
world. Nordic Track is
known for their SpaceSaver
several great features that
are unique to low and mid
level elliptical machines.

One of their best features is
found on Nordic Track
ellipticals and on a few
competitors is the incline
ramp on the model CX 938
and CX 1055. This allows the
user to change the angle
and shape of the elliptical
The Nordic Track Stride Thru or right system also changes the length of stride.
Ranging from 18 to 21 inches the stride targets specific muscles groups. The
shorter stride will work, tighten and raise the buttocks and slim the hips while
the longer strides will help burn calories. The pedals on most models are large
enough to allow you to comfortable place your feet for long rides. The upper
body workout using the simulated ski poles along with the long strides will also
keep you from losing upper body strength and mass that normally accompanies
cardio exercise.

Nordic Track elliptical trainers are equipped with SMR (silent magnetic
resistance) from Icon that allows a fairly smooth ride. This system allows you to
change resistance on the fly without interrupting your workout routine. Nordic
Track elliptical trainers like many of Icons elliptical machines have the reputation
of being noisy and clunky. The higher end elliptical trainers apparently do not
have this problem. Nordic Track includes between 10 and 19 workout programs
with its elliptical trainers that will fit most people.

Nordic Track ellipticals also have a console with easy to read LED scan that lets
you read it from almost any angle. EKG handle bars will also give you fairly
accurate heart rate readings. On some models you must hold the sensors fairly
tightly for more than 15 seconds to get any reading at all and on other models
the grip sensors give you a read out fairly quickly. Mid range and higher Nordic
Track elliptical machines have multi-speed fans which are really appreciated
during long rides in non air conditioned sites.

Elliptical trainers costing less than $1100.00 are design for infrequent use in a
residential setting. If you are planning on using your elliptical trainer more than
twice a week for hard intense rides lasting more than 30 minutes then you
should seriously consider moving up to a higher end elliptical machine. Nordic
Track has a fairly good warranty that covers frame, parts and labor for one year.  
It is imperative that if you are purchasing a mid level elliptical trainer that you
invest in an extended warranty.

Nordic Track elliptical trainers are very popular. We recommend the mid level
($500 to $900) elliptical machines for casual in home use. Elliptical trainers are
probably the best piece of fitness equipment on the market.
