Less Known But No Less Worthy: the HealthRider e60 Aire Strider

When it comes to big investments, it isn't in our best interest to experiment. If we're smart, we go by the tried and true, things that are sure to provide us the best value for our money. And so, we go by what's popular. In the world of exercise equipment - elliptical trainers, in particular - "popular" would normally mean a Precor or a Proform. But some lesser known models from some lesser known brands are able to compete with what popular brands have to offer. Among them is the HealthRider e60.

The HealthRider e60, which is also known in retail as the Aire Strider, comes with a good set of features tailor-made to make your home training routines easier and more efficient. Now "good" doesn't necessarily mean outstanding - in the case of the e60, it means fully functional. This makes for a compact, affordable machine that has all the features you need.

What are some of these features? We're talking essentials, like the heart rate monitor, various profile displays and cooling fan. Among the workout essentials you may accurately monitor with this elliptical trainer are resistance, time, distance, revolutions per minute (RPM) and amount of calories burned. This model is able to handle a user weight of about 250 lbs., though lighter users should not have trouble using it.

While many other high-end models carry around 10 pre-programmed workouts, the e60 does just as well with the standard eight. These include six Smart workouts and two pulse-driven workouts. Another good thing about it is that it is IFit compatible. Those who may wish to avail of IFit's professional training services could go online and let the e60 help them on their way to a healthier, fitter body.

Being a lesser known model may actually work well for the sales of the HealthRider e60. Lesser known traditionally means more affordable, or at the very least more attractive payment and/or warranty options. If you're after a good deal on your exercise equipment, inquire about lesser known brands. Your friendly distributor may be able to recommend a brand that's just right for your specific needs and budget.
