Pedal adjustment

The ability to change the angle of inclination of the pedals on which the feet are placed while working out on the cross trainer. Thus, you can change the direction of the load and focus on a particular muscle group. This feature is relatively rare, mainly in professional-level machines.

iFit

iFit is a technology that provides access to a vast library of training programs designed for each specific machine and for specific fitness goals, as well as picturesque videos that allow you to diversify your workouts. Usually, orbitrecks with support for this system are equipped with an LCD display, and when you start a workout, an HD video appears on the screen of the simulator with views of the terrain along which the jogging route will be laid. The video sequence is complemented by thematic audio compositions. However, the possibilities of the technology go further than conducting workouts to video clips. Advanced models, which are equipped with a large screen and a module for connecting to the Internet, allow you to use the potential of Google Maps. That is, the user can independently lay the route of a morning run through the streets of some famous city.

More features

Handlebar controls. The control buttons for training modes are placed on the handles of the cross trainer. With their help, you can change the load without stopping the workout. However, the control options in each model may be different.

Fan. The cross trainer has a fan. This feature is useful for cooling during intense workouts, especially in warm weather.

Bottle holder. The presence in the design of the cross trainer k of a special stand on which you can put a bottle or glass. Thus, you will always have a supply of water at hand, and to replenish its amount in the body you will not have to be distracted from working out on the machine.

Colour display. The presence of a colour display in the design of the machine. This element does not affect the main features of the device. However, such displays are considered more convenient and pleasant to view than black and white. Some models may include various additional features designed to make workouts more interesting — for example, the ability to play DVD movies or virtual workouts (see above).

Bluetooth. The presence of a Bluetooth wireless module allows the machine to be synchronized with the user's smartphone, tablet or laptop/PC. Thanks to data synchronization, the user will be able to control the resu...lts of training in a convenient form. Additionally, Bluetooth wireless communication can be used to download new training programs to the computer of the machine and synchronize with the heart rate monitor via the ANT protocol.

Wi-Fi. The presence of a Wi-Fi wireless communication module in the design of the machine. The Wi-Fi interface was originally intended for connecting to computer networks (including Internet access), but more recently it has also been used for direct connection between different devices, without using a network. The specific features implemented using this module may be different. So, some cross trainers can interact with training programs installed on tablets and smartphones and transmit information to such programs about the details of the training (distance travelled, calories burned, etc.), while others allow you to update the firmware or change the settings remotely, etc.

USB port. USB itself is a universal interface designed to connect external peripherals to a computer or other control device. Actually, for the same purpose it is used in modern machines; but the specific application in different models may be different. So, USB can be used to connect heart rate sensors and other specialized accessories, to play music and/or video from a USB drive, to update the firmware using the same USB drive, etc.

TV tuner. The presence in the design of the machine of a TV tuner — a device designed to receive television broadcasts. This function is useful for those who would like to be able to watch their favourite TV programs, series, etc. right in the process of training: usually, models with TV tuners also have colour displays and speakers (see below), which allows you to watch the broadcast directly on the machine's display. However, one needs to remember that tuners can be designed for different broadcast standards; therefore, before purchasing a model with this function, it is advisable to make sure that it is compatible with local TV broadcasts.

mini-jack 3.5 mm (Aux). The 3.5 mm mini-Jack (Aux) connector is designed to connect an MP3 player or a smartphone/tablet. Thanks to this, it is possible to output a sound signal from multimedia devices to the speakers built into the cross trainer. Some models may additionally have a mini-jack connector for connecting headphones. The sound output to the headphones will allow you to train to your favourite music without disturbing other people in the same room.

Speakers. The presence in the design of the cross trainer of speakers. They can play music, the sound of a movie playing on the display (see "Colour display"), as well as various service messages — for example, a warning about exceeding the maximum heart rate.

Tablet stand. It allows you to securely and safely mount a tablet with almost any screen size on the cross trainer. Thanks to this, the user can enjoy watching TV shows or movies directly during training. Usually, the stand is located under the main screen of the machine. Advanced class models are often equipped with a stand with the ability to adjust the angle of the tablet.
