Making your workout at home both effective and fun is the Proform 480e LE elliptical trainer. Much of the features that exercise buffs and athletes alike require in a fitness machine are in here. But in a compact size and affordable price. And that’s no surprise, as it’s manufactured by Proform, a leading fitness equipment manufacturer for many years already.

A stride length measuring 18 inches allows for movements that target large muscle groups in the lower body. Non-slip pedals that are oversized allow you to position your feet in a way most comfortable for you. Likewise, it provides the stability necessary for a smooth-flowing workout. Handlebars with soft-grip also target your arms, giving you that full-body workout.

The Silent Magnetic Resistance (SMR) innovation is the secret behind the 480e LE’s friction-less and smooth movements. This mechanism magnetically sends resistance to the flywheel. In addition, it allows you to have up to 10 levels of resistance. And each one of them can be easily accessed – all with a simple push of a button on the console. With this much resistance levels, the machine is sure to adapt to your progressing challenge needs.

Making you feel like you’re working out at the gym is the innovative iFit Workout Card Technology. This card is designed by a fitness trainer, and can be purchased and inserted into the 480e LE’s console. A voice will instruct you as you go through various levels of fitness and resistance levels. It’s set to give you the best possible results within a span of 8 weeks.

The iFit Workout Card won’t work if it wasn’t for the 480e LE’s built in speaker sound system. This feature also enables you to plug in your portable music player into the fitness machine. Now your workout sessions need not be a drag as you listen to your favorite high-intensity tracks, playing at high volume.

A blue backlit LCD screen on the console displays some important details on your working out. Some of them include an odometer, current resistance level in use, etc. Allowing you to check whether or not you’ve hit your target heart rate is the inbuilt EKG Heart Rate Monitor. Then there’s also the AutoBreeze cooling fan, which has 3 setting levels.
