Equipped with some very high end features, the Sole E35 elliptical trainer does look and feel as if it should be in the top end in the range. One of main difference between this model and others within it's class, is that it's blades measure a full twenty inches, at least five inches more than its competitors. Most others only have around fourteen or fifteen inch blades.
The additional lengths in the blades gives a much smoother movement to the machine, and feels more natural to the user. It also has a huge sixteen different resistance settings, where as other models in its class may perhaps have half of that. The levels can be altered whenever you wish, even whilst still using the machine.
This is also the only known model to have a two degree slope on the fronts of the blades. This isn't for resistance, it is actually for the exact opposite. It helps to reduce unnecessary strain on the knees and ankles. The plates that you feet sit on have also been specially designed so as not to numb the balls of your feet while you train.
A digital display between the handles is an important feature on this model of trainer. It has been designed to not be overly complicated and so that it can be easily adjusted whilst the trainer is in use. There is also a bottle holder in a central position along with a useful cooling fan.
This unit is particularly stable due to the hefty weight of the flywheel, weighing in at thirty pounds. This helps to keep the entire machine centred and less less to move and wobble around whilst it is under pressure from exercise. There are two sets of handlebars, a stable set centrally and the second moving set to be used whilst exercising the upper body.
The heart rate program built into the Sole E35 Elliptical Trainer works from the metal pads within the handle bars and monitors your beats per minute whilst you exercise. It also gives you the flexibility to design your own exercise regime which you can follow on the screen.About the Author:
