CYBEX 425A Arc Trainer

CYBEX 425A Arc Trainer Review



CYBEX 425A Arc Trainer Feature

  • Fitness machine that combines best elements of skier, elliptical trainer, and climber
  • Reverse Arc motion technology engages the quads and glutes to burn more calories
  • Reduces stress on joints while offering complete range of motion for knee and hip
  • 10 preset programs; full split-level display; water bottle holder and magazine tray
  • 300-pound capacity; measures 29 x 62 x 69 inches (W x H x D); 10-year frame warranty
Combining elements of a climber, hiker, and skier, the Cybex 425A Arc Trainer produces gym-quality results in any environment, helping you get fit more efficiently than ever before. The 425A is technically a light commercial machine, meaning it excels in hotels, corporate environments, and residential housing complexes. However, it's also suitable for home use as well, with a compact footprint and a versatile, load-dependent design. Research shows that the Cybex Arc Trainer burns more calories than any other cross trainer or elliptical cross trainer on the market. The machine accomplishes this through its Reverse Arc motion technology, which engages the muscles--the quads and glutes--that demand the most energy from the body when they're called upon to work. That means a higher intensity and a bigger calorie burn, giving you a complete workout in the shortest time possible. The Cybex 425A is also load-dependent, meaning that it scales the resistance level to the user's weight. This means that two users--one who weighs 250 pounds and the other 125 pounds--receive an equivalent workout when choosing the same program type.

The Cybex 425A offers multiple workout variations usually reserved only for the gym, including three exercise zones: a low position called the Glide (similar to a ski machine), a medium position called the Stride (similar to an elliptical trainer), and a high position called the Climb (similar to a stair climber). The zones team up with a broad incline and resistance range to emphasize almost every lower body muscle group, letting users determine the motion that best suits their fitness needs. For example, users can select a high incline to work the quads, or lower the incline and increase the resistance to firm up the butt.

The Cybex 425A is also far easier on the body than most exercise equipment. The trainer's Reverse Arc motion technology places the user's toe behind the knee, reducing stress on the joints while offering a complete range of motion for both the knee and hip. The machine's Same Side Forward (SSF) orientation, meanwhile, ensures that the arm and leg on the same side move together, so that the relationship with the arm handle and footplate remains the same regardless of incline. This allows the user to always maintain an optimal posture during the exercise, which virtually eliminates back fatigue. Other cross trainers, by contrast, move the arms and legs in opposite directions, putting the body in a stressful position throughout the incline range. Finally, the Arc Trainer is equipped with long input arms that produce a more linear path, versus the shorter handles found on most equipment. This near-linear path minimizes painful wrist articulation, allowing you to get a better upper body workout and maintain good posture.

Program-wise, the Cybex 425A offers quick-start and manual modes, along with 10 preset programs, including weight loss, cardio, hill interval, hills, valleys, ramps, interval one, and interval two. It's also easy to track your progress thanks to the intuitive split-level display, which includes a magazine rack and tabs. Other features include a wireless heart rate monitor, a single water bottle holder, and a utility tray.

Specifications:

  • Incline levels: 11
  • Stride length: 23 inches
  • Resistance range: Up to 600 watts
  • Drive type: Dual stage
  • Brake: Eddy current
  • Capacity: 300 pounds
  • Dimensions: 29 by 62 by 69 inches (W x H x D)
  • Weight: 380 pounds
  • Warranties: 10 years on the frame, 5 years on parts, 1 year on labor

Livestrong® LS13.0E Elliptical

Livestrong® LS13.0E Elliptical Review



Livestrong® LS13.0E Elliptical Feature

  • Elliptical trainer with heavy 30-pound flywheel that produces smooth, fluid motion
  • Mimics natural path of ankle, knee, and hip joints to ensure a low-impact workout
  • Long 20-inch stride length; 12 built-in workout programs; Livetrack Interactive technology
  • Cushioned MaxTone pedals produce natural heel-to-toe walking motion
  • 350-pound capacity; measures 29 x 68 x 76 inches (W x H x D); lifetime frame/brake warranty
Enjoy a low-impact workout while diversifying your exercise routine with the Livestrong LS13.0E elliptical trainer. The LS13.0E reduces stress on your legs by mimicking the natural path of your ankle, knee, and hip joints. Because your feet remain on the pedals at all times, there is zero impact, making the trainer a great option for people with sensitive joints, folks who are rehabbing after knee injuries, or even newcomers starting a fitness program for the first time. An elliptical also offers a full-body workout that includes resistance for the quadriceps, chest, back, hamstrings, glutes, triceps, and biceps. As a result, you'll tone your muscles while keeping your metabolic heart rate up, helping you burn calories long after your workout is finished.



The console includes built-in speakers, an LCD display, and 2 LED feedback windows.
Quality You Can Feel
It takes a heavy flywheel to produce a smooth performance. The LS13.0E more than qualifies, with a 30-pound flywheel that produces a smooth, fluid motion designed to withstand years of use. The trainer also offers a long 20-inch stride length and unique MaxTone pedals. Paired with a flat ellipse shape, the stride length encourages a natural walking and running motion for users of all heights. The MaxTone pedals, meanwhile, incorporate the science of balance training to keep your feet aligned. Your foot will flow through the motion just as it does when walking on sand--your heel contacts first, then rolls up to the toes for push off. This eliminates the "tingling foot" sensation found on other ellipticals and initiates core activation. Even the frame itself is designed to create a natural feel. Derived from extensive biomechanics research, the SixStar-certified frame focuses on all areas that impact the feel and comfort of an elliptical, including body positioning, handlebar spacing, elliptical footpath, pedal placement, elliptical access, and the trainer's drive mechanism.

Train Like a Pro
The LS13.0E includes 12 different workout programs to keep you fit, including Manual, Weight Loss, Muscle Toner, Strength Builder, Constant Watts, Mellow Johnny's Trail, Lance's Climb, Lance's Descent, Max Cardio, the Tour, Custom, and downloadable Livestrong.com programs. The trainer is also equipped with a Power Incline function. With the touch of a button, you can take your workout to the next level with 20 different incline levels. And it's easy to monitor your workout progress thanks to the built-in console, which includes a backlit LCD display and two LED feedback windows that track your time, resistance, incline, distance, speed, and more.

Livetrack Interactive Technology
Research shows that people who journal their fitness routines achieve greater success on average than those who do not. Exclusive to Livestrong Fitness, Livetrack Interactive technology allows you to do just that. Each time you work out, simply insert the USB device that comes with your treadmill into the console. When you're finished, transfer the USB to your computer. Within seconds, you'll be able to track your workout history on the Daily Plate feature of Livestrong.com. In addition, you can enter your meals and snacks on the daily food journal--with more than 800,000 items from which to choose--and get instant feedback on your calories consumed and calories burned. Plus, Livetrack Interactive users can download exclusive free workout programs designed by Peter Park, Lance Armstrong's personal strength and conditioning coach.

Additional Features
Other details include contact heart rate grips, a CoolFit personal workout fan to keep you cool, premium multi-grip handles, and built-in speakers to keep you motivated. Each purchase of the LS13.0E supports Livestrong Fitness's goal of donating a minimum of million to the Lance Armstrong Foundation and the fight against cancer.



The trainer's cushioned MaxTone pedals produce a natural heel-to-toe walking motion.

  • Integrated sound system; oversized, custom-designed foot pedals
  • Built-in cooling fans; 375-pound capacity; weighs 200 pounds
Rated a "best buy" by leading consumer websites and magazines, the Sole E35 elliptical trainer delivers an efficient full-body workout in the comfort of your bedroom, basement, or garage. The E35 is equipped with a heavy 25-pound flywheel, a high gear ratio not found on most comparable models, and a whisper-quiet drive system.


The E35's console includes a vibrant LCD display and an integrated sound system.
As a result, the trainer delivers an extremely fluid performance and plenty of top-end resistance, helping it function like a much more expensive trainer. The E35's power incline feature, meanwhile, boosts resistance even more while targeting different core muscle groups, adding diversity to your workout. Simply press a button to raise the incline ramp to your preferred position. The ramp angle is fully adjustable from a level plane up to 30 degrees, so you can individually target and work all major lower body muscles.

The E35 makes it easy to track your workout progress via the vibrant 6.5-inch blue LCD display, which includes windows for resistance, time, distance, calories burned, and pulse.

Throughout your HR workout, the E35 will display a heart rate zone graph on the console while adjusting the resistance to keep you in your target zone (the trainer includes a wireless chest strap that touts a 99.9 percent accuracy rating). The remainder of the time, you can challenge yourself with the six automatic programs or two customizable programs.

To encourage a more comfortable workout, Sole added oversized, custom-designed foot pedals to the E35. Designed in collaboration with a leading physical therapist and sports enthusiast, the pedals feature a 2-degree inward slope, helping reduce the ankle and knee stress that's common in other elliptical machines. In addition, the footbeds are adjustable, so users with different gaits can find the perfect position for their needs. Each foot pedal offers three variable settings and pivots at the toe of the pedal.

Additional features include a pair of stationary handlebars with built-in pulse sensors; adjustable incline and resistance controls built into the arms; and 16 resistance levels.

You can even add competition to your workout with 5k races against your Facebook friends.

The performance workouts, meanwhile, take the guesswork out of your routine by automatically adjusting the resistance to help you focus on aerobic, weight-loss, or performance goals. As an alternative, you can automatically adjust the trainer's resistance with the touch of a button using the Quick Touch controls. The trainer offers 16 total digital resistance levels.

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.

Many elliptical trainers 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.
