| "This is the best overall total body workout I've ever had"
"The minute you get on the Orbitrek you can feel it in your muscles, its just immediate. You go forward you can feel it in your quads - you go backwards, right into your hamstrings. It's an incredible machine."
"The front flywheel on this is unique in the sense that it gives you a nice cooling sensation as the wheels are spinning, you're pedaling, its blowing air back on you... And on a good vigorous workout, it feels good, you need it."
I feel really solid on the OrbiTrek and on days where I'm really pushing myself I just tighten that control down and really make the workout hard on myself... other days if its been a long day at the office and I just want to pull back a little bit I loosen the control, less resistance, but still a really firm foundation you're working from. Graet workout!
What I like about this machine is the fact that it gives you the same feeling indoors that you would have outdoors. I'm an outdoor person. Its very hard for me to go to a health club and do some of the rigid machines they have, they have one position maybe 2 positions. This, you are working all the major muscles groups. You are in a fluid motion the whole time. It's a lot more comfortable, you get the same feeling that I had when I'm outdoors.
I played football, wrestled and played baseball in high school and subsequently sustained some injuries because of the gentleness on the joints. So the Orbitrek is perfect for that because you don't have the jarring like on a stair master or the pounding of the joints on the treadmill or walking.
The ideal exercise is both aerobic and muscle tone or building of muscle tone so its great to be able to combine both aerobic activity and building muscle strength with one activity and the Orbitrek allows us to use all those muscles and burn more calories without the impact. Definitely has an advantage.
