2) Ergonomic Pivoting Foot Pedals
This is a feature most buyers overlook but it makes a big difference to your overall comfort.
These pivoting pedals mimic the natural motion of your ankle and hold the proper alignment keeping your ankle, knee and hip from suffering impact.
This can result in less muscle strain and soreness that you sometimes get with cheaper ellipticals.
3) Solid Stable Feel with High 350 lb User Weight Capacity - The CE 7.4's heavy, welded steel double frame with heavy duty flywheel helps give this elliptical a substantial solid feel when you're on it.
Plus the 350 lb user weight capacity is one of the highest at this price point. If you really want a solid, commercial feeling unit, this is one to consider.
4) IPod Dock With Speakers - You can plug in your iPod and listen to your favorite tunes while you workout. While this is becoming fairly standard, it's still a nice touch that can make your workouts more enjoyable.
5) Built in Adjustable Fan - If you really like to pick up your pace, you'll appreciate the fan built into the console. There are 3 speeds, which is similar to the ellipticals at the gym.
Those are some of the main benefits of the Smooth CE 7.4 Elliptical Trainer. There are other nice touches like 16 resistance levels, 13 built in workout programs, dot matrix console and heart rate monitor.
Also the 7.4 boasts one of the best warranties on the market with a lifetime warranty on the frame and break, 5 years on parts and 2 years on service. The other bonus is that while it used to run around $1999, Smooth has dropped the price (as of this writing anyway) to $1499 which makes it a very good value.
Where To Buy At A Discount:
You can buy the Smooth CE 7.4 elliptical direct from the Manufacturer. They're currently also throwing in Free Shipping which will save you about $150.
1) 21" Stride
A longer stride helps to more fully work your leg muscles, giving you an overall more effective workout. It also helps to give a smoother, more natural feel to the elliptical.
It used to be that most ellipticals gave you from 14 - 18" stride, so 21" was an exceptional stride length. While a longer stride is becoming more common, it's still not easy to find a 21" stride, which makes the 7.4 very popular.
