Like the original CE, the CE 2.1 has the same completely silent mechanisms and ultra-smooth ride that live up to the Smooth Fitness name. But now the CE 2.1 also offers commercial-level durability and advanced technology that results in a completely natural feel and impact-free workout.

Easy to use electronic console with all the features of a health club model. Includes a built-in cooling fan and water bottle holder. Smooth natural motion provided by a whisper quiet drive system.

Upper body exercise provides a total body workout. Custom molded hand grips for a comfortable feel. Stationary handle bars with built-in pulse sensors for monitoring your heart rate. A heart rate chest strap is also included for hands free pulse monitoring and heart rate interactive programs. Oversize foot pedals with durable foam cushioning for a comfortable workout. These unique foot pedals were designed in collaboration with a leading physical therapist and sports enthusiast. Together with Sole engineers we have designed a 2 degree inward slope to the foot pedals which reduce ankle and knee stress common in other elliptical machines. This collaboration also produced a revolutionary foot pedal angle adjustment not found on any other elliptical at any price. Not everyone walks the same way; for this reason we have made the E95 pedals adjustable to fit the way you walk. This feature also reduces numb toe effects and sore Achilles tendons, common occurrences on other elliptical machines. The four rear wheels which ride on heavy duty rails provide a smoother more stable feel and reduce side to side foot pedal motion. A feature found only on more expensive models. The E95 also incorporates a rear plastic shroud which encloses the back roller mechanism and adds additional stabilty for aggressive use. Maximim User Weight: 400 lbs.

Smooth CE 7.4 Elliptical Trainer

admin — Fri, 16 Jan 2009 15:31:09 +0000

The most beneficial attribute of an elliptical cross trainer is its ability to provide an exceptional cardiovascular and weight-bearing workout without jeopardizing your joints or back. Ellipticals should have an effortless glide and an intuitive feel that works in concert with your body.

Built for a wide range of users, from the beginner to the avid exerciser, the CE 7.4 offers ergonomic pivoting foot pedals for maximum productivity by minimizing discomfort, as well as orthopedic cushioning for a more enjoyable workout. A long 21-inch stride will accommodate even the tallest users comfortably while a heavy-duty flywheel eliminates the aggravating “bump” sometimes felt with other elliptical cross trainers. An electromagnetic braking system allows for smooth transitions and stops during strenuous workouts while wireless heart rate control allows you to set your preferred heart rate, strap on the chest monitor and the resistance of your routines will automatically be adjusted as your heart rate changes. Eight challenging workout programs allow you to vary your exercise routine–from interval training to fitness-level training. A heavy gauge oval steel frame is engineered to be stronger and adds a stylish flair to the CE 7.4. Finally, track your essential workout metrics with the four-window dot matrix LED display with easy-to-read course profiles, RPM, speed, watts, time, distance, pulse, heart rate, calories, resistance level, metabolic equivalents, and target heart rate.

Elliptical trainers provide an effective cardiovascular workout that combines upper and lower body flexibility and coordination into one impact-free motion. By emulating the natural motion of your foot while supporting your heel throughout the stride, elliptical trainers are much easier on your knees and joints.

In addition to accommodating a wide variety of users with its lengthened 18 inch/46 centimeter stride, the Schwinn 418 Elliptical Trainer also incorporates an articulating footplate, which follows the natural motion of your foot and supports your heel throughout the entire stride motion.

The quiet magnetic resistance Eddy Current Brake provides a smooth ride.

About Elliptical Trainers
Elliptical trainers represent the next wave of advancement in low-impact cardiovascular exercise machines and continue to grow in popularity. By simulating motions experienced through walking, stepping, cycling, and skiing, elliptical machines allow for a smooth and fluid motion while building strength in the arms and legs. Similar to the exercise position for treadmills, elliptical trainers are used by standing in an upright position while holding the handrails of the machine. With elliptical trainers, however, your feet remain in the foot pedals throughout the exercise regimen and circulate in a smooth and seamless motion, resulting in little to no impact on the knees, back, and hips.

Elliptical trainers are compatible for all ages and fitness levels and allow you to select the difficulty level through the incline and intensity settings. Additionally, elliptical trainers allow you to determine the complexity of your workout based on your needs, all while listening to music, watching television, or reading a magazine while exercising in the comfort and safety of your own home.

Although different types of elliptical trainers offer an assortment of features, many of them include an array of challenging programs, forward and reverse directional movement, EKG grip pulse handles, a lightweight portable design with easy fold-up capability, and a monitor displaying calories burned, distance, speed, time, and heart rate. Other types of exercise machines, namely treadmills and bikes, offer excellent cardiovascular exercise and muscular training for the legs in a forward-motion exercise. Elliptical trainers take this to the next level by offering an upper and lower body workout with dual motion, challenging and diverse programs, and a low-impact exercise machine that won’t strain sensitive joints.
