Proform 675 Elliptical Trainer Review

The main selling point of this elliptical trainer is a low power workout with a low price. Proform 675 is not really for serious exercisers, it is meant for those who want to use this machine only few times a week. If you are one of those people who wants to stay fit and get your circulation going, then this could be an elliptical machine for your exercising routines.

The advantages of elliptical trainers is that they can be used for walking, jogging and running but without the pressure on your joints and knees. Since they have lower risk of impact injuries then treadmill, they became quite popular. Even for those people who tend to practice only few times a month. And the reason is simple, a model like this Proform machine can provide sufficient cardiovascular exercising, which is all that most of people need. You get to train upper and lower body which is a great way for building muscle, spend calories and build bone density.

What you get with a Proform 675 elliptical trainer is a LCD display that will keep you informed of the calories you burned, speed of movement, heart rate pulse and the distance you travelled. These are basic information that any machine has and they are quite important information that keeps you posted about the progress you make. Additional gadget on this Proform machine is a fan that will keep you cool while you are sweating during exercises. It’s not much of a airflow, but it helps.

I have to say that this machine is for people that do not plan to run or use it intensively. The 14″ stride is somethng that will allow walking only and taller people will have trouble using this size in general. It is because they are used to make bigger steps while 14 inch stride length is the smallest in industry, biggest being 24 inches. So you have to be prepared to make shorter steps because short range of motion is what Proform 675 elliptical machine allows.

You can find this model for $299, probably even less if you stumble upon a discount. This is a lower class trainer, made for everyone. It has good magnetic resistance and foot pedals that offer comfortable use, but that is as far is this model goes. Do not have big plans if you buy this machine, it simply isn’t made for them. Use Proform 675 as a basic machine that will allow you to walk inside your home and keep track of the calories burned and distance traveled. Any intense use will not be good for this machine, which is a number one reason for its low price.
