NordicTrack SpaceSaver Plus Elliptical Trainer

The elliptical trainer is a newer form of exercise equipment. It is considered to be a stationary exercise machine because it does not physically move during the workout session. Elliptical trainers have become increasingly popular over the past 5 to 10 years for a number of important reasons. Elliptical trainers offer an exercise which is in many ways similar to what is achieved with a treadmill or by walking or running but with several advantages.

One major advantage an elliptical trainer has over a treadmill or walking is that nearly all elliptical trainers utilize either an Eddy brake system or an electric resistance motor which allows the machine to add resistance to the walking or running motion. This enables them to give a more difficult workout which is also capable of building up muscle.

They also offer rotating handle bars which are also usually connected to the brake system to offer an upper body workout at the same time. The one factor that truly sets elliptical trainers apart from running, walking, and treadmills is that they offer a nearly 0 impact exercise. This means that they greatly reduce the chance of any kind of physical damage to the user’s joints or knees during the workout.

The NordicTrack Spacesaver plus elliptical trainer offers a number of features in an extremely compact design. It features oversized pedals which offer a greater degree of comfort to the user. The pedals are also coated in an anti slip material to help ensure that the user doesn’t experience any slipping during the workout. They are also one of the only models on the market which offer an MP3 audio connector so users can listen to their favorite music while they are working out.

The NordicTrack Spacesaver plus elliptical trainer offers an EKG heart rate monitor. This is able to get an incredibly accurate reading on the users pulse. They also come preloaded with 20 different programmed workouts. These workouts are all designed to help users achieve different specific goals. A user simply has to select the workout which is designed for their goals and follow the onscreen directions.

It also offers the StrideSelect feature which is unique to NordicTrack elliptical machines. This technology allows a user to select a 12 inch, 15 inch, or an 18 inch stride length. This allows users to adjust the machine to their own personal walking style. Users can also utilize this feature to target specific portions of their lower body for a more intense workout of that region.

The factor that makes the NordicTrack Spacesaver elliptical trainer incredibly unique is its size and storage abilities. The NordicTrack fully unfolded is 69 inches long, 23 inches wide and 62 inches high. It can be folded up to be stored in a smaller location. When folded it takes up 46 inches in length, 23 inches in width and 62 inches in height. This enables it to fit in a closet or other small storage area when it is not in use.
