The Exerpeutic 1000XL Magnetic Elliptical is built around a sturdy frame, durable enough for cardio workouts at home, with a 300 lb capacity. If you’re looking for an elliptical trainer on a budget, the Exerpeutic 1000XL will provide a valuable exercise for both your upper and lower body muscle groups.
Apart from not having workout programs, the Exerpeutic 1000XL does include some advantageous features. When combined with the workout arms, the dual directional flywheel allows you to effectively train a wide range of upper and lower body muscle groups. In addition, the 8 level magnetic tension resistance adjustments can provide the user with a more challenging workout.
Although there’s no multi-colored LCD to show your progress around a virtual course, the vital workout information is displayed. This includes time, speed, distance, calories burned, and an odometer.
There’s even the option to set some primary workout goals for your current session. The ‘Mode’ button lets you choose from time, distance, calories, and heart rate. While a few preset training programs would have been helpful, excluding them from the built-in computer is why the price of the Exerpeutic 1000XL has been kept low.
