Product Description

Why a NordicTrack Skier !

Aerobic #1

Endurance #1

Strength #2

Flexibility #2

Coordination #2

20 Years later, THIS IS STILL THE HIGHEST RATED FITNESS EQUIPMENT

Compare to a Treadmill:

Treadmills are the 'catch all' for the fitness novice. But they are not low impact as many assume. Does the pavement come at you as you walk ? Have you watched - seen and heard people 'pound' their lives away on a treadmill ? Each step a tremendous jolt compared to ordinary walking which has enough impact on the joints without the added stress. Compare to 'NordicWalking or Skiing - you never lift your feet. Experience a Smooth - Rhythmic motion as wood skis glide gently on rubber rollers which - on a finely tuned skier - 'white-noise' therapeutic sound. Start NordicWalking / Skiing - ultimately will want to experience 'total freedom of motion' with an upper and lower body workout. The World's Best Aerobic Exerciser.

Compare to Elliptical:

Ellipticals are much more restrictive and have a shorter range of motion. They are often 'jerky - and have a 'punching' motion you want a free flowing - extended full range of motion and the smoothness of a NordicTrack. NordicTrack Skiers will also aid in achieving 'balance and coordination'. It's easy to learn and best of all - anyone can do it !

This is an excellent workout. I have worn out several of these NordicTrack ski machines - it takes me about 6 years of use then they are pretty much shot. You can replace the critical parts but the better way is to find a used one in excellent condition that was built in Minnesota when they first came out. The later units made in Asia are built to the same drawings but you will quickly discover the quality is not the same. The workout is about 7 - 14 METS depending on how you set up the upper body and tension on the skis. Not everyone finds it easy to use - unless you have a fairly good sense of balance it can be awkward.

Im around 60 so cant run like I used to and gave up the bike too.

You can get more cardio-vascular exercise on a skier in 20 mins

than an hour on a bike, because you use your whole body from your

toes to your shoulders. Because it is non-impact you can jump on

it first thing in the morning, (even before yoga) even if cold stiff

and sore, and viola, 20 mins later you are a new person.

It has a bar to grab if you want to start out just power walking

to warm up. Also its a great pick you up in the afternoon if you get the blases.

One trick is to use your arms to resist each other: you are

pulling with one arm and pushing backwards with the other.

Also if you elevate the front your legs get more of a workout on the return stroke.

As far as I know, the Achiever is the only model that has a knob to adjust the leg

resistance instead of a strap you slide up and down. That makes is much easier

to dial in the exact resistance you want as you move through the workout

I keep mine inside but usually roll it outside for fresh air.

Finally, I made a bunch of cassetteswith mostly fast, upbeat music

(mostly bluegrass and gospel) and that makes

the time fly and puts a smile on your face.Nordic Track Aerobic Cross Trainer

This review is from: NordicTrack Pro Skier Ski Machine (Misc.)

I purchased the NordicTrack years ago and I still have it in outstanding working condition. I would give it a review of 5, however, I seem to be the only one of four in my household capable of using the NordicTrack to it's fullest extent. Meaning, my 3 other family members do not have the coordination to 'ski' and 'perform hand movements' at the same time. Good for cardio.
