Motivating yourself to work out on your fitness equipment is one of the biggest challenges to getting in shape and losing weight.  For many, without some motivation or distraction, their cardio machine ends up being a very expensive clothes hanger.  There are three features on the NordicTrack Commercial 14.9 elliptical trainer that are designed to overcome those issues…

iFit Technology — iFit is available on all NordicTrack elliptical trainers.

Create customized workout programs at your personal account at iFit.com. Based on your fitness goals like losing weight and getting in shape, your personalized workouts are downloaded onto the Commercial 14.9 and they control the resistance and incline of the machine.  Each program last over over a defined period and is progressive in nature.  The training includes audio coaching to further motivate you.  After each work out your stats are downloaded to your iFit account so you can review your progress.

Additional NordicTrack Commercial 14.9 Features…

Auto Adjustable Stride Length — The stride length is adjustable from 17.5″-18.7.  If you are very tall you may want to consider a different length.

32 LB. Flywheel — This is a fairly heavy flywheel that contributes to a very smooth and natural elliptical motion. It makes you feel like you are running in the air.  This sense of floating on air really distinguishes a quality cross trainer from cheap machines. And it further reduces stress to your joints by eliminating jolting motion.

Adjustable Oversized Foot Pedals — By adjusting the angle of the pedals you can reduce the potential of numbness that comes with excessive foot lift.  In addition, they added extra cushioning to the foot pedals to further reduce the stress to your lower joints.

0-20% Incline — The incline capabilities on this machine will really get your heart pumping and take your workout to the next level! Plus, if you’re using iFit, your personal trainer can automatically adjust your incline levels for you.

Dual Handle Bar Grips — With the dual grips you can change up where you grip the handle bars, which allows you to target different parts of your arm muscles.

Warranty — 10-year frame, 2 year parts and 1 year labor coverage.

Autobreeze Workout Fan – This over-sized fan automatically adjusts its speed to match your workout intensity.  Pretty handy!
