The Top Elliptical Machines Available To You Today

Elliptical trainers are really quite popular amongst the fitness community and they have come to supersede the original treadmills that were made popular back in the early 1800s by Sir William Cubitt. Since then elliptical trainers have been brought to the consumer market by many different manufactures including Nordic Track and even Schwinn which are most notably known for their bicycles. The amount of ellipticals then in turn brings in the price factor which varies by brand and of course by options. Notice that just because elliptical A costs $1000 doesn't necessarily mean it's better than elliptical B that is $500. The point of finding the perfect trainer (as with everything else) is to look for reviews amongst the consumers that have bought these trainers in particular. A few of the top rated elliptical machines are listed below, along with a few features that they bring to the table.

NordicTrack Commercial 1300 -
The Elite 1300 Elliptical from NordicTrack features 1-Touch controls, 15 workout programs and a 20'' stride length. Get great results with the NordicTrack Elite 1300s commercial-quality workout. This item also includes other features such as oversized foot pedals, Cardiogrip heart rate monitor, silent magnetic resistance and ranges from about $900-$1,499.00. It is one of the higher priced models but it's also one of the higher ranged models because of all the extra benefits and options available!

Sole E35 -
This elliptical offers smooth, natural motion with a whisper-quiet drive system and 16 levels of resistance. The oversize foot pedals feature a 2-degree inward slope to help reduce ankle and knee stress. Hand grip and chest strap sensors help you monitor your heart rate while working out, and the easy-to-use electronic console with blue back light LCD display allows you to track your progress. It is mid-priced starting at around $1000 and is considered to be a huge value money wise with its innovative design and features. Although Sole is a recent entrant in the elliptical market, it has already succeeded in claiming its own market share in ellipticals.

Smooth Fitness CE -
The CE 3.2 elliptical is a quality machine at an affordability price. Many popular features are included that make this an obvious choice for a in-home elliptical trainer. With a solid foundation, tested dependability and innovative engineering the CE-3.2 offers a smooth, intuitive ride every time. Compare these features to other elliptical machines and you will quickly see the difference. If we're going by looks alone, this is considered the "tank" of ellipticals with its sturdy and stable design yet its efficient and easy to use so you can really get the workout your looking for at around $1,900

Schwinn 438 -
Give your body a hardy workout in your own home without stressing out your joints with the stylishly modeled Schwinn 438 elliptical cross trainer. It boasts an elliptical step trainer for your legs that's combined with moving arms that help work out the arms, shoulders, and chest for a perfectly balanced cardio/strength workout. It provides up to an 18-inch stride length. The quiet magnetic ECB (Eddy Current Brake) resistance provides smooth action while the grip heart-rate sensors and telemetric sensing (with chest strap) make monitoring your progress a breeze. It also incorporates an articulating footplate, and the handlebars have three positions. This is the lesser priced machine of all the ones listed above and can be bought for around $600 at any of the top selling stores found on and offline.

Of course with the introduction of new machines being brought to the consumer market almost every single day, these "A listers" will change in due time, but they will always provide the same beneficial features as listed above with some really amazing technology and a few added bonus options. Really, if your looking for an easier way to lose weight, stay in shape or get back in shape or you just want to be heart healthy, you really can't get much better than an elliptical. Personally, I have one of these in my exercise room in my house and I absolutely love it. Its much less boring than a regular old treadmill, easier on the knees, and overall it just has a nicer feel to it!
