Star Trac E-CTi Elliptical Review

The Star Trac E-CTi truly combines the ideal balance of entertainment with healthy physical fitness. The HD LCD viewing screen is a generous 15-inches, along with access to great entertainment like On Demand TV, music videos, all the latest sports updates, daily news and more. The screen also comes with a large, readable font so you’re able to quickly glance at all your vital workout stats including progress, heart rate and track view. One of the most convenient features of this dynamic console is definitely its touchscreen technology, which allows you to adjust your settings and viewing options without ever needing to pause your workout.

The Star Trac E-CTi is also fully integrated with wireless receivers so you can listen to your iPod music, charge your phone, watch your favorite videos and more.

Outside of superb entertainment options, the Star Trac E-CTi has a wide range of resistance levels (20) and a minimal step height (7-inches) so this machine is accessible to everyone from advanced fitness gurus to novices with limited mobility.

Standard accessories are of course included with the Star Trac E-CTi, including a storage tray, cupholder, cooling fan and EKG heart rate grips. You can also utilize polar telemetry for more accurate heart readings.
