Precor with the First Elliptical Machine

Back in 1995 there were no elliptical trainers.  Precor were the first to market a range of products they titled the EFX.  The mainstay of cardio equipment were treadmills / running machines, rowing machines or bikes.

The huge advantage of ellipticals was the low impact workout offered.  No more pounding the deck of the treadmill!  Not only that but with the configuration of the machine meant the that it could offer a  full body workout with the arms and legs working in harmony.   This revolutionary motion provided a great training platform for all levels from beginners to elite athletes.

The unique Precor Motion

Percore have actually patented the motion of their ellipticals.

In essence they have designed the stride to keep both feet on the pedals.  If you are familiar with other ellipticals you may notice that your feet/ heels kick up at the end of the motion.

The signature motion of the EFX series is that your feet remain planted at all times.  The advantage being its more comfortable and there is less chance of your tendons or muscles becoming over streched.

Exertion Levels

With its smooth motion, and easy natural rhythm, it was easy to lull users into thinking that they were not working as hard as they might be.  This was an illusion, strap on a heart rate monitor and you will see that you are working just as hard on an elliptical as you are on a treadmill or bike.  This was revolutionary when the EFX series were introduced and helped Precor generate a lot of interest in their elliptical range. This makes a percore one of the best elliptical machine for home use.

CrossRamp® adjustable Height. 

In order to target exactly the muscles you want All Precor Crosstrainers feature the CrossRamp technology.  This allows the angle of the ramp to be adjusted.  This can be up to 40 degrees on some models.

By changing the height of the stride you change the path that the feet follow. This changes the muscles needed to complete the motion.  It also gives the effect of climbing, which adds an extra level of intensity to the workout.

This feature is found an all commercial and domestic EFX models
