Product Description

Ideal for fitness enthusiasts of any skill level, the Nautilus E514 provides an effective cardiovascular workout by combining upper and lower body flexibility and coordination into one impact-free motion. It offers smooth, biomechanically-correct design and comfort features, enhanced programming, and integrated Polar® heart rate systems for superior workouts. Other features include 16 computer-controlled resistance levels, 17 total programs for workout variety, and a natural-feeling 18-inch stride.

Elliptical trainers emulate the natural motion of your foot while supporting your heel throughout the stride, making them much easier on your knees and joints. In addition to feeling more natural while working out, regular use on elliptical trainers can help to increase heart and lung capacity while improving your health (and burning calories at the same time).
