If you’re looking for an all-body workout that targets your arms, legs and torso at the same time whilst having a low-to-no impact on your joints, the X9.9 Elliptical trainer from Taurus is the perfect answer for you!
X9.9 ELLIPTICAL TRAINER
Using a cross trainer provides similar body benefits to jogging however with less stress on your joints and muscles – especially your knees which can be a problematic area for many. The reason behind this is that there is no repeat motion of impact as your feet never leave the pedals (stride length: 0-58.4cm, stride width: 5.4cm).
Running on uneven ground or excessive elevation can send a shock to the bones of the lower extremities. However, using the cross trainer on a regular basis does not affect the lower limbs adversely at all. In fact, it is good for almost all sets of muscles in the lower body, upper body, and core.
FEATURES
This Taurus trainer features dual-action anti-slip handlebars, allowing the user to get a true full-body workout experience. Simply pump the handles back and forth and you’ll be toning your chest, arms, shoulders and back. Should you let go of the handles you’ll work your mid-section harder to keep you balanced, toning your torso too.
25 BUILT-IN PROGRAMMES
The X9.9 features 25 built-in programs, all designed to help you improve and smash your goals. The machine is a great source of aerobic exercise as it’s perfect for interval training, in addition, the built-in heart rate sensors ensure you’re accountable and aware of what zone you’re working in so you know when to push on, or to pull back to get the best results!
RESISTANCE
The amount of resistance on a cross-trainer will determine how much effort it takes for you to keep your feet moving, this model features an output between 10-350W. The speed is determined by the user’s own capabilities, so if you want to stop at any time, simply stop and the machine will too.
MONITOR YOUR PROGRESS
