I use the Precor EFX 546 at least 4 days a week at my rec center and would absolutely buy one for my house if I had the space for it. For quite a while, I used the interval training course, but now I appreciate the manual option. I like adjusting the incline and resistance levels to work out distinct lower-body muscle groups, and I go hands-free to sneak in a great core workout. I wear a Polar heart rate monitor when I exercise, and this machine gives me the greatest bang for my buck in terms of calorie burn; I usually burn 10 real calories per minute (do not trust the calorie counter on the EFX, or really on any piece of cardio equipment - always verify using a heart rate monitor). On a "standard" elliptical, I only burn about 6 calories per minute, so the Precor EFX is definitely a great choice if you don't have tons of time to exercise. I'm 36 years old, 5'4", and went from 141 lbs to 118 lbs in a few months. The muscle definition in my legs has never been better, not even when I was playing soccer.

When I first starting using this machine I worked out for about 10 minutes and thats all I could handle. Within a week I worked up to 20 or 30 minutes and then increased it to 1 hour 3 to 4 times a week. What I love about this machine is you get immidiate results. I am 5'7 and I went from around 155-160 pounds to 130 pounds in about 6 weeks. I went from a size 10 fitting tightly to a size 4. I had it set on interval training I beleive. I saw most of the weight loss in my hip, thigh, butt area. I have never felt better in my life than I do when I use this machine on a regular basis. You will be sore initially and it takes a lot of will power to stay on it but if you do you will definately get results. I usually would make sure my hair is up and keep a fan blowing on me for comfort or I could not make it through the workout as well as watch tv to keep my mind off of the excercise. I used mine at the gym. I would love to have one for home, just haven't saved the money yet.

Wonderful machine. I find this a great way to work out or to warm up before lifting weights at the gym. This machine is the kind you find at health clubs. It's extremely durable and sturdy.

Product Description
You are looking at an excellent example of a Remanufactured Precor EFX 546 Elliptical Version 1 Crosstrainer. Working out on an elliptical can burn as many calories as working out on a treadmill. Yet unlike treadmills, ellipticals are non-impact machines, making them perfect for anyone who has knee problems or is concerned about osteoarthritis. They also offer more variety than treadmills, allowing you to go forward and backward, as well as adjust stride length to target different muscle groups. || *** FOR EXCELLENT SHIPPING RATES, PLEASE CONTACT US BEFORE MAKING A PURCHASE. ***
