As Seen on TV Exercise Equipment – More Eliptical Exercise Equipment

Today, I will be talking about a couple of additional elliptical exercise equipment machines. We will start with a discussion about the LC-990 elliptical machine and then we will follow that discussion with a short talk about the NordicTrack ASR 1000 elliptical exerciser.

The LC-990 elliptical machine is a heavy duty machine that is well constructed, and ideally created to help you target your ideal cardio zone. While the LC-990 is in fact, very sturdy and well-made, it is also put together in such a manner that is very compact and will fit easily into your home workout area. Additionally, its small compact frame may lead users to believe that it has a minimal ability to support heavier users, but this is not the case. Given the durable construction of the machine this eliptical exercise equipment is rated to handle users up to 350 pounds. Furthermore, this piece of equipment comes with a lifetime light commercial warranty on the frame and pivot joints and a five year light commercial warranty on all of the other pieces.

The LC 990 comes equipped with an onboard computer that is smart enough to identify your optimal cardio zone and continually monitor your heart rate in real-time. It then takes this data and compares it back against what your heart rate should be based on your cardio zone. If at any point during your workout your heart rate exceeds your optimal zone. This piece of elliptical exercise equipment is smart enough to scale back the resistance during your workout to bring you back to a safe range with regard to your optimal cardio zone.

As with any decent exercise equipment the LC 990 comes with a full complement of features that are designed to enhance your workout time and help you maximize the benefit from your time spent on the elliptical equipment. Below is a listing of the features this piece of home gym fitness equipment has.

The next piece of equipment I wanted to talk about today is the NordicTrack ASR 1000 elliptical exercise equipment. When performing a cursory review of this equipment on the NordicTrack website it appears to fare well with consumers. Out of a possible five star rating consumers gave the ASR 100 a 4.1. This piece of home fitness equipment starts out at about $699. As far as home exercise equipment does this costs seems to be about middle-of-the-road. If you are a fitness fanatic, you can go for equipment that is more expensive, but I would recommend starting on a lower and piece of equipment such as this until you’re sure that this elliptical exercise equipment is right for you.

Again, the site details a large list of features and benefits that their equipment has. The list below seeks to just summarize the high-level features that the ASR 1000 provides. If you think you would like to find out more about this piece of elliptical exercise equipment before purchasing it and would highly recommend visiting the NordicTrack website to read the full review and see what other buyers are saying about it.

The features for this piece of equipment include: CLEARVIEW™ BACKLIT CONSOLE, CLUB DESIGN HEART, RATE MONITOR, NORDICTRACK PREMIERE WARRANTY, IFIT® WORKOUT CARD TECHNOLOGY, INTERPLAY™ UNIVERSAL IPOD® DOCK, DIGITAL RESISTANCE, 4 GAME & TRAIN™ INTERACTIVE VIDEO GAMES & TOUCH SCREEN TECHNOLOGY, SMR™ SILENT MAGNETIC RESISTANCE, 18″ STRIDE LENGTH, UPPER-BODY WORKOUT ARMS WITH SOFT TOUCH GRIPS, 275-LB. USER CAPACITY, COMMERCIAL GRADE CONSTRUCTION, 30° STRIDEMAX™ POWER INCLINE™ RAMP
