Exercise Equipment Review

The AudioStrider 800 has been introducedby NordicTrack for 2007.  As an elliptical trainer it has the standard features that we have come to expect in our home exercise equipment.

Standard features include:

• Ability to fold for easy storage.
• Heart rate monitor built into the hand grips.
• 8 pre-programmed workout routines.
•  East to read electronic display.

What really puts the Audio into the AudioStrider is the built in speaker system that allows you to connect your personal MP3 player.  This may seem trivial but if you are folding this up and putting it away when you are done with it then also having to pack away a pair of speakers is one more thing to deal with.  However - it may not be worth an extra $100.

The iFit technology has also been improved for this unit. You can order workout routines developed by Certified Personal Trainers. The workouts come on what looks like an SD Memory card for a digital camera. The voice of the trainer can be through the built in speakers.
