Body Glide SST6000 Ski-Skate Trainer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)In spite of the inaccurate and slow to respond heart rate monitor and the malfunctioning calorie counter I love love love this machine. It is very heavy duty with a nice rage of motion. My first love was a precor commercial elliptical. After three years of using the same machine I needed a change. I am an avid skier and inline skater so I took the plunge and ordered it having never set foot on one. I'm glad I did.
I will say, perhaps the more expensive new model has better sensors but I was not willing to spend an extra 500 bucks. I'm writing this because I could not find one review on this machine anywhere on the internet that was useful. This machine is great for any user level. My husband is also an avid skater and says it hurts his knees but I think its because he refuses to decrease the resistance....so stubborn! The programs are extensive and relatively easy to use. You can save your user profile which would be really great if the calorie count and heart rate monitor worked a little better. Again, I have to say these were not a deal breaker because this it like no machine I have ever used and I love it.

NordicTrack Pro Skier Ski Machine Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)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.

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 !

Pro Fitter 3D Cross Trainer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a great piece of exercise equipment that the whole family uses, even the kids (12 & 13 years old). It's easy on the joints, yet gives a good cardio workout and depending on your stance, you can work on toning different muscle groups. It takes up very little space and is pretty light and easy to move. We keep it put away in the closet, then bring it out to use while watching TV.

Thule 91726 Universal Pull Top 6 Pair Ski and Snowboard Carrier with Locks Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this snowboard rack after much research and deliberation online. I have not yet used it for a snowboarding trip (perhaps I will update this review later).
But I can tell you I am pleased with the design & function. The rack pulls out horizontally over the side of the vehicle allowing easier access to the rack's contents.I was concerned that the sliding hinge would freeze up during winter. I have been driving with is on for a month or so and test it regularly. I believe the sliding hinge will not be a problem.
ONE MAIN QUESTION that I could barely find an answer for online is how the rack actually holds 4 snowboards (what the orientation would be). The rack is wide enough for only two boards side by side; therefore, the second pair of snowboards must face bindings down underneath the other snowboards (so that the snowboard's base is touching the base of the board above it). I wondered if the bindings of the lower set might not quite clear the roof's surface. I was right. While the bindings to fit (barely in some cases) I would be worried about binding straps scratching my roof when you pull the thule rack out or a driving on long trips while the binding straps are free to fly in the wind. The solution for this is to put the boards with higher bindings on top. For long trips I plan to jury rig some duck cloth atop my roof so the bindings don't hang down & stratch my roof.
