Precor EFX 5.35 Premium Series Elliptical Fitness Crosstrainer

Precor EFX 5.35 Premium Series Elliptical Fitness Crosstrainer

This is the only exercise equipment I own that I had stayed with for a daily exercise routine, mostly because it is easy to use and causes me no pain. I’m pre-diabetic and my treadmill was causing me foot and back pain. I am obese meaning exercise is difficult.

The Precor EFX 5.35 Premium Series Elliptical Fitness Crosstrainer is quiet, not a noise at all except slight motor noise as the incline changes. The movement is super smooth like gliding on air. I didn’t think I’d use the programs but have been varying between the Weight Loss and the Heat Beat programs. I am more than happy about this. The chest heart monitor gives me constant feed back so I can control how fast or slow I should be going. The moving upper body handles are easy to move and lock out of the way for just leg work. After only 3 weeks I’ve lost 5 pounds and it’s been easy. I never got these results on my treadmill even using incline. I’m already keeping a steady heart beat within target using a good incline and good resistance. I love it when the program screen writes “slow down” when on the Heat Beat program. I’m not wearing myself out but getting a good consistent workout. (more…)
