Nordic Track offers a wide variety of elliptical trainers on the market at any given time.
In general these elliptical trainers tend to pack a lot of the latest techno gadgets onto them like the ability to connect to the Internet, LCD console displays, personal trainer designed workouts and iPod docks.
Another standout feature is that many models offer incline. Incline is not the same as resistance. It actually changes your workout slope (the angle of your elliptical path).
This works different muscle groups for better crosstraining and helps you burn more calories. (Note: Incline is only found on certain models like the Audiostrider 990, and Pathfinder).
Incline used to be found only on $3000+ Precor ellipticals so it's a great feature to find here.
Nordic Track has also offered longer stride lengths in their newer models, ranging from 18" to 22". This longer stride helps you more fully work your leg muscles and gives you a more effective calorie-burning workout.
A longer stride also makes for a more comfortable, natural feeling elliptical motion - especially if you're taller or have long legs.
So those are some of the main benefits you'll find on Nordic Track ellipticals this year. Here's a brief overview of the latest Nordic Track elliptical reviews. Click on the links below for more detailed specs, information and where to buy at a discount.
