NordicTrack AudioStrider 990 Review
elliptical trainers are growing in popularity not only because of the low-impact, upper and lower body workout, but also due to their amount of calories burned in the least amount of time.
NordicTrack’s features
Features-wise, the NordicTrack AudioStrider 990 is similar to the Sole E35, with some notable differences. For those looking for a cardio workout machine that won’t cost you a second mortgage, the NordicTrack AudioStrider 990 is worth considering. The NordicTrack AudioStrider 990 is an inexpensive elliptical machine with a feature set that puts most high-end units to shame. For those who want a great elliptical trainer, but do not have a lot to spend, then the NordicTrack AudioStrider 990 is a perfect choice.
Incorporating some upgraded features and a longer warranty, the AudioStrider 990 is one of the best ellipticals produced by NordicTrack. The NordicTrack elliptical has an 18-inch stride length compared to 20-inches for the Sole. Still, the NordicTrack elliptical trainer costs $300 less than Sole E35 and includes speakers and an audio port for plugging in an iPod. If that isn’t enough, this elliptical is also compatible with iFit interactive workout cards, so you can select exercise routines that are tailored by a personal trainer in order to keep your workouts varied and challenging. .It also comes with an incline function. If you are not familiar with an incline feature on an elliptical, it is similar to the incline on a treadmill. But, why would you want to adjust the incline of an elliptical? Changing the incline of an elliptical changes the shape of the elliptical stride, which alters the muscle groups that your workout focuses on. It gives a smooth elliptical motion, rather than a bouncy feel.
Price
If you are considering buying this elliptical machine, you should be aware it falls within the budget category, although at the high-end of that category. What this means is you are getting an elliptical built with budget components. Being at the high-end of a budget elliptical, I would still recommend you increase the warranty to at least 2-years coverage.
Conclusion
The various customer reviews suggest most people feel the NordicTrack AudioStrider 990 is a good value. With so many options available, there is little chance that any exercise schedule based on the NordicTrack AudioStrider 990 will ever become boring or repetitive.
I feel you won’t be wasting your money buying this machine. It offers an excellent feature set for a relatively affordable elliptical machine except for its little noisy operation and short warranty which don’t match the great promise of this unit.
