A Few Times Using The Smooth CD 3.7 Machine Will Have You Hooked On Cardio Training

By Edwina Thibeaux

One of the more popular machines for home workouts these days is the elliptical. Not only do they offer a great way to exercise but they are also easy on the joints, especially compared to a treadmill. Following is a Smooth CD 3 7 elliptical review.

Included on this machine are three adjustable motion levels and 16 intensity levels which will help you to keep challenging yourself. It is going to be hard to get bored using this elliptical. With these variations, you will have an easier time pushing yourself and be able to get a really good workout in a short amount of time.

You also get many different features to enhance your experience as you exercise. There is an iPod docking station complete with speakers, for example, allowing you to listen to your best exercise music. The multi-color LCD display will make it easy to program your options as well as to watch your progress.

More technical features include the magnetic brake system which makes your stops and transitions smoother. And the foot pedals are ergonomic, allowing for more comfort and less fatigue. There is also a wireless heart rate control monitor.

If you are sharing the machine, you can set up as many as nine different user profiles. This way, no one needs to keep entering their target heart rate, age, sex, weight and height every time.

The service warranty is 2 years, the electronics and parts warranty is 3 and the frame and braking system come with a lifetime warranty. This is an unusually long service warranty as, normally, it is no more than one year. In fact, there are some that have only 90 day service warranties.

A potential downside is that the 3 adjustable motion settings need to be adjusted manually. This is not quite as convenient as having an automatic adjustment as some machines do. On the other hand, machines that feature automatic adjustment are going to be more expensive than this unit.

You also get some nice pre-set programs to help you stay motivated and get a great workout. It may not be the fanciest elliptical that you can buy but when you consider the solid construction and great features it is priced quite reasonably.

To summarize this Smooth CD 3 7 elliptical review, if you are in the market for a mid-range priced elliptical, meaning between $1000 and $1500, this is a good one to put on your list. While they are certainly not the most inexpensive one you can find, the quality is much higher than cheaper machines and well worth the cost. - 42574
