Have any of you ever used one of these for cardio?

Talk about whaling on my hamstrings!

Yep, my gym has quite a few. I kinda like it. It is nice for a totally different movement. I work up a NICE sweat on it.

Funny, I have never met anyone else who has used it (besides, obviously, some people from my gym)!

I love the good Precors -- good angle on them but one of the 2 is broken at my gym & mine doesn't go up really high. So I'm checkign out this other Gold's Gym and they don't have any Precors, but a couple of these Arc Trainers. I liked it but it totally kicked my butt!

Good morning everyone!

I forgot my gym had them until Jencats' post yesterday. I've been using the elliptical and treadmill. I'm going to give this machine a try today.

I forgot to mention Friday Morning, half way through my HIIT, the arc trainer recorded my Heartbeat at 187...

Now, I don't know how accurate that is but I can feel the burn and I sure do get a lot of looks from busting ass, while everyone else casually hops along on the surrounding ellipticals...

Speaking of... off to do light cardio on it shortly

You have to really play with the resistance AND the incline. Plus, YOU control the speed. So you get out of it what you put into it.

I assume you aren't doing it anymore - since you have dropped cardio totally.....RIGHT?!?!?!

 

[Sassy69]

The range and angle are a little different than the Precor, plus I just pounded on my hams the day before so I'm sure that hit a few muscles that weren't expectinig it. Its definitely a big Plus on the decision I'm trying to make about getting a second gym membership at this gym.

OMG had to look TWICE at this tread title... combination of a migraine and feeling like crap, I was seeing things!

my first glance read Cybersex Arc Trainer... Whoa.. Thinking DAYUM SASSY

 

[Sassy69]

Awww Frisky - still got that pain??? I'm so sorry. Kick that bad boy to the curb & get back in the game girl!

Yes.. bah

Having trouble lying down with the pounding... have a small stash of hydrocodone in the med cabinet.. really considering taking one of those babies.

Every now and again I get migraines... they linger for some time. This one isn't as bad as usual but It is getting worse.

Need to kick it a SOON!

Thanks darlin
