Wonderful One

I really wasn’t all that familiar with elliptical machines. The treadmills were something I knew all about. Few years ago I tried to exercise on a treadmill machine, but I didn’t enjoy the ride. They were loud, cumbersome and I didn’t like the feeling of my feet slapping against the moving tread. It wasn’t easy for me to keep the balance, besides getting my knees all jarred.

As you know, there are people who don’t like to work out, and I’m among them. I enjoy the feeling I get after I work out but getting motivated to work out is difficult. I need to distract myself while I work out. After I gained 20 pounds, I realized I had to do something. I tried aerobic videos but didn’t enjoy them. I joined a gym but never had the time to get there. My husband suggested purchasing an Elliptical machine. We began to research which elliptical machine would give us the most bang for our buck.

And Sole fitness equipment is what we chose. I enjoy so many things about this machine but one of the biggest factors is it is so quiet. I am able to watch my TV show and exercise at the same time because I placed my elliptical trainer in my living room. I don’t have to have the television volume turned to a deafening level just to be able to hear over the sound of the elliptical. Elliptical trainer is a quiet machine, especially when compared to treadmill.

One of the other things I enjoy about it is that the foot pads you step on move with you. So as my foot raises up to take a step, the footpad raises up with me. There is no slapping your feet on a moving tread. It is a fluid motion and since the arm bars move along with you while you are in the running/jogging motion, you are able to keep your balance and feel like you are getting a total body workout with this piece of fitness equipment.

After exercising on this Sole elliptical, it is hard for me to imagine moving back to a treadmill.
