Horizon EX67 Elliptical Trainer

The Horizon EX 67 elliptical trainer has proven that it can help just about anyone to accelerate the weight loss process. Cardio is a vital part of providing your body with enough burned calories to lose weight. Muscle tone is also a vital part of accelerating weight loss. The Horizon EX 67 elliptical machine hits the nail on the head when it comes to providing cardio work outs that create muscle while burning calories.

Weight loss is never an easy chore, and this elliptical makes it fun to burn and build with 13 different goal related preprogrammed exercise regimens that the user can opt from. With upper, lower, and core work outs happening at the same time, you aren’t far from losing the weight and noticing the results that you are looking for.

The Horizon EX 67 comes with a 14 pound flywheel. Why does flywheel weight matter? Light flywheels not only tend to break down more readily but they also do not provide the same liquid movements of the heavier flywheels. A heavy flywheel offers smoother motion and flawless transitions when compared to the lighter versions.

You will lose more weight when you have the option to increase intensity and add more resistance as your body starts to change and develop more muscle. The Horizon EX 67 elliptical trainer gives you the option of ten various resistance levels to keep your exercise program in check.

If you are building muscle and losing weight for stamina you can choose the tined setting. If you are looking to chew through calories simply choose the calorie setting. And if you are looking to burn calories and build up your endurance you can opt for the distance setting.

There are three different terrain settings as well to add more variables to your work out. The manual setting allows you to choose when you are prepared to work harder and go uphill and the preprogrammed settings of reverse train and hills throw new challenges your way as your work off your extra pounds.

The Horizon EX 67 is priced at around $800 and comes with Horizon’s standard Custom Stride feature which allows you to set your stride setting for the optimum work out and comfort levels. The pedals are about 4 ½ inches apart which make for a comfortable and effective work out. Elliptical machines that keep the feet too far from each other (about 6 inches) can create cramping in the thigh muscles during the early stages of the work out process which can naturally impede progress.

You can plug in your Mp3 player and listen to music during your work out time through premium speakers to keep your pace up and your spirits lifted. When you use the handlebars the highly visible orange backlit screen provides you with your heart rate while you work out.

The Horizon EX 67 elliptical trainer comes in around 27 inches in width, 67 inches in height, and 57 inches in depth, which makes it a midsized machine with the capability to fit into most regularly sized rooms. This elliptical weighs about 157 pounds once assembled which creates a stable platform for those hard work outs. It is one of the quieter machines on the market today, and its effectiveness is the biggest reason for its popularity.
