Two days after the order called me the shipping company that wanted to arrange with me a delivery date in another three days. A working week delivery time overall - because there's nothing to complain about. The two men arrived on time and helped me the giant cardboard then a good mood in the corresponding basement, super. Unpacked the particle the amount of packaging material (cardboard, polystyrene, foil) Although guarantees salvation product was quick, got me then but a little surprised - you have everything and dispose again ... At the construction I dared to fly over the instructions and do not read there would rather my husband ran. That was a great decision because my studied engineering engineer did not really easy. To build one should be in pairs and bring good technical / use instruction know-how. Unfortunately, also has a part not perfectly gripped in the other, so that even the hammer had to be used and the construction thus lasted for three hours. Certainly would have at the inappropriate part of the Customer of Kettler can afford remedy quickly, but women should guard the male ego to offend ... Assembled the elliptical machine is already a real gem between our bike and the weight bench.
The instruction manual is comprehensive, but in my opinion written by a man for a man. I find them not intuitive or easy to read. Just as well that the use of the cross trainer himself as much makes up for and not one has forcibly fiddling with the instructions for use. Fortunately, however, also can be found as "basics", such as WHERE ON THIS PEDAL MUST I my feet stand ?, or how high I sum up my hands the stakes? That not everyone knows as crosstrainer newbie everything.
As mentioned before, I am now not a couch potato and I am so up to this stepper, 10 minutes and to start with a medium setting. After a minute I began to sweat, after five minutes I was floored and need to die after 8 minutes of firm conviction, a ninth minute gabs certainly not more. (As I have done AFTER) Had read the training manual properly, you could read there that you should start slowly as crosstrainer beginners and increase weekly. Due to the many muscles that you train it, the training is quite strenuous. The recommendation "3 times a week..... 2 min crosstrainer, 1 min gym, 2 min crosstrainer, 1 min gym, 2 min crosstrainer" I'm So after two weeks followed obediently after the start fiasco. Small improvements are already both legs / buttocks as well as to the (still) flabby upper arms to see. The more energetic and active woman with upper arms mitanschiebt, the better the training effect for this game.
There are 12 different programs whose Belastungsintesität can be adjusted individually. Likewise, there are various training objectives, "fat burning / weight loss" or "cardiovascular fitness" incl. The specification of the "optimal pulse" on both programs. The attached Ear clip for heart rate measurement is plugged into the training computer and then fastened with a clip on the ear. Here a clear credit to KETTLER, contrary to my expectation wearing the ear clip is quite pleasant. You can create training programs for different users, which are easy to call the next workout, without the hassle of resetting. Also can be executed stitched on eg a certain time, a certain heart rate or to a specified distance. The circular movements are very gentle on the joints and it does a post-workout nothing hurt. Equally gratifying is that even though I on rum Hample wildly, the KETTLER AXOS ELLIPTICAL bombproof on the ground is. No wobbling, swings, wonderful! He is very quiet and is in a pub after training quickly into sleep mode. It makes sense here as well, that you can "wake" him pedaling again and does not have to only press knobs (although the course is).
I find the Crosstrainer KETTLER very good for local training. It is very high quality and provides rapid results in the body shaping. Although the instructions for use and assembly definitely still have revision necessary. If there are any questions, I will gladly try to answer them - just a comment or make direct product question.
