The Proform Name
Proform made it’s name producing treadmills. They patented the famous SpaceSaver Design and soon folding treadmills and folding ellipticals became all the rage. They are also known for pushing boundaries in the features of their treadmills – cushioning, electronics and technology. Models like the 590T have become really popular with first time buyers.
Whilst treadmills are more concerned with running/jogging to achieve cardio/fitness or competitive agendas, an elliptical is more focused on an overall workout. You can work both the lower and upper body at the same time. You can like treadmills specifically adjust your elliptical to target cardio/heart training, calorie reduction, speed/resistance and time (not travel but amount of time on machine).
So if you want to burn a lot of calories with a low impact load on your muscles and joints, or to burn a lot of calories in a short period of time, an elliptical should be on your bucket list. As it engages your upper body and lower body, you can exert a lot of calories in a short period of time.
Advantages of Profrom 6.0 ZE Elliptical
One of the major advantages of using the Proform 6.0 machine is that you can have a challenging and satisfying cardio workout without having to go to the gym. Sure you can sweat it out on any elliptical but this one is made with quality material. The steel used is commercial grade, and as such you get a lifetime warranty on the frame.
The machine itself doesn’t fold but it is very compact – unlike other folding ellipticals that sacrifice space for steadiness – this model is sturdy. It has transport wheels that allow you to push the machine out of the way once you are finished with it.
The Console
The 6.0 ZE is built with a blue-tinted LCD screen that monitors your time, resistance, calories burned, and other specifications. You can easily monitor your progress when you access the screen’s various features. As for variety, you also get that here. You have 18 built-in workouts to choose from. And if you want to take out the guesswork in your challenging routine, you can simply adjust the machine’s digital resistance. You’ll get a more intense workout then.
The resistance offered is equipped with a system called Silent Magnetic Resistance™. It works as the name suggests by magnets and the beauty of this is once you switch resistance levels the transition is smooth. The machine won’t stick and jar like a cheap manual resistance lever. Good for those knobbly knees.
When it comes to programs you can also choose from:
- Aerobic – Focuses on getting your heart rate up
- Weight Loss – A more challenging program that forces you to work the muscles you never thought you had
- Performance – For more serious exercise buffs, level up your performance gradually and feel like a pro in no time at all
One of the drawbacks is that the incline is manual. So if you are pumping along in a workout and you want to increase the burn, you’ll have to stop, get off the machine and adjust the incline by hand. Not the worst complaint in the world, but a little annoying if you are in full flight.
Those with long strides need not worry about space. The Proform Elliptical is equipped with an 20-inch stride length. More importantly, it’s also fitted with large slip-resistant pedals.
