The Standing or Seated Elliptical Machine

This is the elliptical trainer that provides a joint-friendly cardiovascular workout whether users are seated or standing. When used in the seated position, exercisers position themselves on the adjustable seat and pump the padded handlebars back and forth while operating the pedals like a recumbent bike. For an even gentler workout, users can forego the arm movements and simply hold the stationary handlebar for stability. For increased intensity, users can stand on the pedals as with standard elliptical trainers. The machine's comfortable 14" stride length reduces strain on the knees and hips. An LED screen tracks workout time, speed, distance covered, and calories burned. Sensors in the handgrips report a user's pulse and a side pocket holds a cell phone or MP3 player. Wheels on the base enable easy movement and storage. The heavy-gauge tubular steel frame supports up to 250 lbs. Assembly required. 60" H x 24" W x 48" D. (89 lbs.)
