subject: The Lifecore Cd600 Elliptical: Compact In Design, Yet Packed With Features [print this page] The Lifecore CD600 is an elliptical trainer designed to save on precious living space. That's because this fitness machine measures only 46 inches in length and 31 inches in width. But don't let its compact size fool you. Workout enthusiasts of all levels will find the features the machine possesses truly essential.
One thing that this fitness equipment takes pride in is its Center Drive Technology. This technology provides the user with smooth and natural leg movements. It's key to achieving a more effective workout, assisting in giving you faster and better results. You are held upright naturally and the motion is natural, for maximum comfort even when using the machine for long periods of time.
Large, cushioned pedals are so designed to minimize impact on the knees, ankles and feet. They're positioned just 8" from the ground, so ceiling clearance is something you need not worry about. But the available stride length of 21" may be a problem for people who are tall. And it's fixed as well, so no adjustments can be made. Other elliptical machines even have over 30" of stride length.
There are 20 resistance levels to choose from. With this much resistance, the CD600 grows with your increasing fitness level. You can challenge your developing muscles each time. To guide you through your working out, there's a large, 10 by 4 dot matrix LED screen on the main console.
There are 13 available built-in programs to choose from. Each one of them is set to provide you the challenge and effects you are looking for. For instance, the Glute Blaster progressively takes you to the steepest incline, working out your buttocks. Or there's the Heart Rate Fat Burn which lets you target 65 percent of your maximum heart rate for an effective fat burning workout.
Every element of this elliptical trainer is designed with the user's comfort in mind. From the ergonomically engineered hand grips, to the pedal spacing of only 2 inches. To help you monitor your heart rate better, there's the center grip sensor and an included chest strap. Then there's also a built-in reading rack to help keep you entertained as you finish your workout routine.
But some essentials found on its rivals are evidently missing on the Lifecore CD600 elliptical machine. There are no inbuilt speakers for playing tracks on an MP3 player. The console doesn't support the iFit technology. No cooling fan is integrated into the machine. Although there are front wheels for easy transport, the 248 lb weight makes moving around this elliptical a trouble.
