Confidence USA Elliptical Machine Review
This is an interesting unit - it combines both an elliptical machine and a cross-trainer into one thing, so you can work out your entire body at once. This enables you to burn a bunch more calories in a lot less time. The unit enables the user’s feet to move in a natural elliptical motion providing no impact and less stress on the joints. The cross trainer allows you to tone your upper body including arms and chest. The cross trainer can potentially enable you to burn more calories than by simply walking on a treadmill, which won't have you working out much more than your legs. There is an adjustable resistance dial. The dimensions are 34 by 24 by 60 inches. The bars and pedals allow you to stride forward and in reverse.
Confidence USA Elliptical / Cross Trainer
Advantages:
- It's pretty easy to burn off a thousand calories or so in under an hour
- It lets you get a more intense workout (although potentially that could be a downside, if you're someone who has the time to take it at a slower pace). I wouldn't worry about that too much, though, because if you want you can take it slow.
- You can get these for very cheap compared to a lot of other models
Disadvantages:
- It's a midrange model, which means you're getting a decent elliptical, and a decent cross-trainer, but you're not getting the best of either.
- It can be pretty hard to put together, because the directions aren't all that easy to follow.
- Seat can be kind of uncomfortable.
