The Life Fitness Flexstrider Discover SE3 is unique in that it allows usersand not the machineto dictate the stride that best suits them. Unlike some of the other fixed-stride ellipticals and Crosstrainers, the Flexstrider allows for on-the-go stride adjustability. This ergonomically designed flexibility has been proven to lessen the tension and pressure on the joints and muscles of the lower body, creating a natural low-impact motion that truly gets results. The machine features oversized pedals that are (self) powered by a mechanism that provides resistance in both directions, enabling users to focus their efforts on different muscle groups. Even better, the moveable handlebars, which are also designed to provide resistance both fore and aft, enable riders to simultaneously work the arms, shoulders, chest and back.
The Elevation Series Life Fitness Flexstrider Discover SE3 boasts 20 built-in, pre-installed workout options from which users can choose, all of which can be further customized via the 26 micro-adjustable levels of resistance, which gradually increase the intensity and difficulty of the workout. Some of the pre-set workout options include programs that measure for distance, time and calories; several interval-style training modes; a Manual functionfor creating a customized workout session; a Rolling Hills course; a Quick Start button; and a customized cool down mode, for safely winding down after a strenuous workout.
What really sets this Life Fitness Elevation Series Flexstrider Variable Stride Trainer apart from the competition is its Discover SE3 Tablet Console. One of the biggest of its kind, this console measures 19 inches and includes the patented LifeScape Interactive Courses, through which users get the genuine look and feel of exercising outdoors. Other applications available for this monitor include Netflix, Hulu Plus, ESPN, YouTube, Pandora, and more, as well as games like Solitaire, Chess and Sudoku.
