Precor EFX 5.25 Elliptical Fitness Crosstrainer

The Precor EFX 5.25 Elliptical Fitness Crosstrainer is one of the pricier elliptical machines on the market, but it boasts a complete cardiovascular as well as muscle toning for both the lower and upper body.  It has many features you might find in many other machines such as 16 resistance levels and programmed workouts.  This elliptical includes eight programs that work on areas such as weight loss and cross training to focusing on specific body muscles like the glutes.

You can individually target major muscle groups in the lower body with the CrossRamp that can adjust from 15 to 25 degrees.  The muscle group you work will differ with the ramp position.  For instance, higher ramp positions will isolate the calves, glutes and quads while lower positions will stimulate all muscle groups.  The 16 electromagnetic resistance levels allow you to further customize your workout or you can use a single button to activate the QuickStart.

You may track your heart rate with the SmartRate heart display and the touch sensitive grips.  You may also see the calories burned, distanced traveled and time spent on the machine with the backlit LCD display.  You have an option between ergonomic handlebars and the stationary handrails that keep your body properly adjusted as you condition and tone your entire body.  Also, up to two people can store information to access preferred workouts.

The Precor EFX 5.25 Elliptical Fitness Crosstrainer also has a couple of other features not commonly found in other elliptical machines.  For example, the soft color palette and smooth lines are meant to blend into a home décor so that you do not have to hide it.  Furthermore, the rotation of this machine can move both backward and forward, giving you even more workout options.  You can also lock in the pedals to keep them from moving when not in use.
