Horizon Ellipticals Killing the Competition?

I wouldn’t doubt it.  I love my Horizon elliptical machine.  Not only is it a smooth ride with no maintenance, but it feels extremely sturdy and professional to get on it.  It’s also quiet, and has just the right amount of features on it to not be too confusing, but also to be extremely efficient at getting the workout you want out of about a thirty minute session.

It’s funny, because a friend of mine was just telling me that she likes the treadmill better because the elliptical machine seems to hard for her.  I told her that I used to think an elliptical was one of the toughest cardio workouts I had ever had, and now I can whiz through a half hour on the thing with no thoughts.  Don’t get me wrong, some days it’s not “easy”, but it’s also not backbreakingly hard like it was when I first started.

It just goes to show that an elliptical provides a superior workout to the treadmill, because it’s easy on the joints, but it provides an excellent workout and burns tons of calories because you are in constant motion.  It also is great for women who don’t want to bulk up, but instead want that “dancer’s body” look.  That’s why I use my Horizon elliptical, because when I use other exercise equipment, it tends to bulk my legs up since I have a lot of muscle in my legs to begin with, and want to keep the feminine look.
