Proform 480e LE Elliptical – Feature-Packed Machine in a Compact Size
The Proform 480e LE is an elliptical trainer that makes home exercises effective and fun. It has some of the features that fitness enthusiasts and athletes alike consider important, all in one compact and affordable fitness machine. After all, it comes from Proform, a prominent company that has been making fitness equipment for many years.
An 18-inch stride targets as many lower-body muscles as it provides the legs with maximum swing. Large, non-slip pedals allow you to position your feet comfortably. Don’t worry if your upper body isn’t working out. The soft-grip handlebars take care of that by also targeting your arms as you walk.
Behind its smooth, frictionless pedal movement is the innovation SMR, or Silent Magnetic Resistance. This mechanism transmits the resistance to the steering wheel magnetically. Additionally, SMR provides you with up to 10 levels of resistance, accessible by simply pressing a button on the console. The 480e LE provides the kind of challenge your training needs as your fitness level progresses, so there’s no need to buy a different machine.
Making you feel like you’re working out in the gym is the innovative iFit Workout Card technology. This card is designed by a fitness trainer and can be purchased and inserted into the 480e LE console. A voice will instruct you as you go through various fitness levels and endurance levels. It is set up to give you the best possible results within 8 weeks.
The iFit training card won’t work if it weren’t for the 480e LE’s built-in speaker sound system. This feature also allows you to connect your portable music player to the exercise machine. Now your training sessions don’t have to be a drag while listening to your favorite tracks at high intensity, playing them at high volumes.
A blue backlit LCD screen on the console shows some important details about your exercise. Some of them include an odometer, current resistance level in use, etc. The built-in EKG heart rate monitor allows you to check whether or not you have reached your target heart rate. Then there’s also the AutoBreeze cooling fan, which has 3 levels of settings.
Don’t worry about the Proform 480e LE elliptical trainer taking up a lot of space in your home as it is so compact. This, thanks to its SpaceSaver design. And that’s not all: the base and the pedals fold easily. This exercise machine has a weight capacity of up to 250 pounds. And it’s backed by a 5-year frame warranty.
