NordicTrack Commercial 14.9 Elliptical Review

by bradtrice1990, posted in Elliptical, Fatloss, Fitness, Gym

Have you ever started a fitness program and everything was going great and then you suddenly injured yourself? If you answered yes then you are not alone.

There are many reasons why people injure themselves while working out but I think the most common injury is the type of workout they do.

I used to be an avid runner… Running 2 to 3 miles a day and competing in 5Ks. But eventually my body took a toll and my knees were worn out, my shins started to hurt, and my back started to ache. As much as I love running… I needed to find a comparable workout that wouldn’t derail my progress.

So I started using the elliptical and I love it!!

Although the elliptical isn’t as good of a workout as a run (in my opinion at least). .. It is definitely a great replacement. I am able to workout hours on end, days upon days without injury and I feel great!

My local gym uses a particular elliptical that I want to recommend to you today. The NordicTrack Commercial 4.9 series

The NordicTrack Commercial14.9 series is excellent for several reasons:

  1. 30+ prebuilt workouts
  2. Awesome looking screen
  3. Fairly compact so good for home use
  4. Can sync phone to it to listen to music

Although I regularly use my home treadmill discussed in my prior post… I still like going to the gym and when I do I am using this NordicTrack Elliptical at my gym.

Whether you want to lose weight on the elliptical or simply want to feel better.. This elliptical is great for you!

NordicTrack T 6.5 Series Treadmill Review

by bradtrice1990, posted in Uncategorized

Hi everyone,

Today I want to review a new treadmill I purchased about a month ago… The NordicTrack T 6.5 Series!

I always wanted to get a home treadmill for several reasons:

  1. Convienence of being able to workout whenever I want
  2. Not having to deal with the crowd at the gym and fighting over getting a treadmill
  3. Easy accessibility. I would often find myself making excuses on not wanting to go to the gym. But now I can workout at home while watching TV. Best of both worlds

So you are probably wondering… What makes the NordicTrack T 6.5 Series so great. Well let me tell you…. My body hates me and gets injured easily. Whether its my knees hurting, shins splinting, or back aching I always am in pain after working out for a few days. What I realized after buying this treadmill is that it’s not nearly as high impact as the treadmill I used at the gym. After a month of use the NordicTrack T 6.5 treadmill has not given me an ounce of pain.

There are a few other reasons I highly recommend this product:

  1. Decent price – this particular model runs about 600 bucks on Amazon right now (see link below if interested) . The average price for a decent treadmill that I’ve seen is near $1000 and I would consider this treadmill more than decent.
  2. Very well made – extremely sturdy. I am a big person (well over 200lbs) and this treadmill doesn’t wobble at all when I’m running .
  3. Great for any type of workout – whether you want to incline walk, go for a brisk jog, or full out sprint this treadmill is for you. I believe the incline goes up to 10 percent and the top speed is 10mph which typically satisfies 95 percent of the population.
  4. Foldable! Don’t need to take up a bunch of space!
  5. Nordic is a brand you can trust. Nordic has been making treadmills for years.

So with all that being said I would highly recommend the NordicTrack T 6.5 Series treadmill. Whether you want to lose weight by using the treadmill, or if you just want to maintain your tip top shape.. This treadmill is for you!
