The LifeCORE CD400 is the latest addition to the LifeCORE elliptical family. Utilizing patented center drive technology, the CD400 puts the user in a biomechanically correct position to enhance performance and workout efficiency.
The patented center drive system on the CD400 puts your body in a more natural, upright position during your workout. So you’ll enjoy better balance, stability and overall performance. Plus, with ergonomic touches like narrower pedal spacing and contoured, comfort grips, you’re guaranteed a comfortable, low-impact workout experience on this Elliptical.
You’ll love the advanced control center on the CD400 Elliptical. A large, multi-color screen displays time, speed, distance, calories burned and more. While the simple touch of a button allows you to select from 12 pre-programmed workouts. There are even hand held heart rate grips so you can monitor your heart rate during your workout.
The CD400 Elliptical trainer uses friction-free magnetic resistance to give you a smooth workout with fluid, natural strides. Plus, the system is completely adjustable, so you can select from 20 different levels of workout intensity.
I found this elliptical listed in Consumer Reports with a very good review; shopped around online for the best price and finally purchased online. Stores in my area did not carry this model.
This machine is a heavy machine. It was unboxed outside and carried into my house for assembly.
The machine is less than a month old and has performed very well. The assembly was easy but became tricky when making the wire connections on the control panel; the printed instructions omitted this part but the online instructions were a little more thorough but still did not identify what connector goes where on the back of the control panel.
I have found only one problem, the Reset/Pause button does not allow a user to resume a workout once this button is pressed. A user must press the Start button to use the machine which, unfortunately, resets the machine from the beginning. A minor problem that I hope Tech Support can remedy.
I got this elliptical right before christmas and it really helped me keep from ballooning when all the temptations of the holiday came around. I got to take a taste of what I liked but each morning this elliptical helped me keep the pounds off. And its really helping keep me on track for my weight loss goals for 2010. Love the natural motion, love the size and love the programs.
