THE FIRST IMPRESSION
We were blown away. I had informed in advance, and the PDF manual, found on the Internet viewed me. Finally, I also wanted to see if I can get up him alone, like my other elliptical machine, or my husband's help needed. Should be delivered a good piece in many, well-chosen items, and I guess this is a set-up time, at least if one is good and fix, as well as the right tool has, to one hour. Accordingly, I was naturally surprised when a good piece was delivered assembled. I've never seen, and I was once shocked by the size. Especially since the elliptical machine with us to the first floor should, and I look at the high wear quite difficult imagined. In addition, our neighbors were naturally curious, and wanted to see what we get as a great device even equal. The outdoor test it once existed. The right footboard touches something, but this may be due to the underground. After all, it was on a pallet. The first impression was certainly powerful. Just because it looks so fresh, modern and professional.
THE STRUCTURE
Folded up, it would have been no problem, but we had the elliptical machine wear around the house again. The problem is that it can be very bad tackle. The arm and leg rod is movable and unsuitable. In between packing is impossible and so there was only the long end to tackling. Unfortunately, this is not as stable and I can give you advise against it. In the end this was unfortunately bent up a little with us and stand behind good 15cm off the ground. Once tilt and it questions and it is again all right. We then beautifully placed him on our cross trainers mat, which is not so easy, because he does have the front wheels, but on the mat will not work and wear is unfortunately not so easy. Eventually our cross trainer was in the right place, it is connected and it still touches right. Below is a loop that runs the footboard so to speak, over the rail. Unfortunately I do not know her name exactly. Luckily only on one side. Dismantling it but could no longer be, as the screw overexcited and therefore sits on one side of a rock. At this point I have to say that this is a device that has been made available for my "Ran on the bacon" -Testreihe me on my blog. Maybe it was a faulty production, an exhibit or the like. At least I close it because it was assembled. Maybe it was Originated by the established transport. However, since it was a very loud grinding, and I usually work out when my son is asleep, and I did not want to wake him, my husband has abgeknippst the loop with the side cutter after several attempts a short hand. Even so it is safe and usable, and finally quiet. For those who want to view the instructions again. Here is the document.

THE WORKOUT
The Jupiter elliptical machine is equipped with many programs, and because, unfortunately, everything is in English, you need the instructions. Although this is in German, I would have wished some better explanations. Here it is important to once einzufuchsen because most equipment for your home, unfortunately, do not have such a nice computer. At least for me the conversion of my was enormous. Comparable as Amiga and a PC today. So I'll go to the individual possibilities a closer. Preliminary, anyone who really wants to work with it, to save it as a User. A total of four people can be saved. For this saves her age, height, weight and gender. So your calorie consumption is assessed accurately, and you can leave regularly calculate your BMI and body fat percentage.
Quick Start
This is the program, which is suitable for those who just do not feel like a lot of extras. Basically it says it questions and start walking. The computer will automatically start the time display the kilometers, calories burned, RPM, wattage and speed. Who uses the chest, I have unfortunately not received, or the handles, can also check his pulse. Of course, here the amount of resistance can be set and changed at any time.
Manually
Manual is the opportunity to set goals. This I could already with my Kettler model. Distance, duration or calories can be set, and then apply it to achieve this target. This is a nice gimmick, which has then always motivated me. I have chosen as a target either 5km or 2000KJ, and then usually used 35Minuten. However, it has always been too boring in the long run, so I now huge joy that I have programs to choose from.
Programs
In Program mode, there are a total of 12 variants, each with a different exercise intensity. And so it goes up and down, without you have to change the resistance manually. A small motor does this automatically. Preliminary course you can exercise time, calorie consumption and determine the maximum pulse. Even at the gym I have loved these programs, and use them also here totally happy. It's just nice when you do not always run in the same level, and so you train better in my eyes. Especially as the differences here are really small, but noticeable. All training programs are shown below the operating element, so you can also choose to advance.
HRC
Proper training requires the right pulse, because then works also burning fat. In this mode, you can 55%, select 75% and 90%, or else specify. In the manual you will find a very nice table that specifies exactly with whom the pulse must be as high, thus burning fat to work. Package applies 220 pulse minus the own age. After that, it depends on whether you are a beginner, so has no condition, or already has a basic stamina, because at the beginners area should be around 60% and advanced at 80%. If the specified value is exceeded, then comes an acoustic signal and you have to slow down to reduce the pulse. Basically it is to work your way up to an hour a program of 10 minutes. If you manage this without any problems, you can see as Intermediate, where it then indeed also about fat burning, but also to heart and circulation. It is a nice thing, because my pulse already at rest is quite high but, unfortunately for me very badly. In the idle state is assumed generally by a pulse of 70-80. I have usually 90-100. Although I can entertain myself during training loose or sing along to music when I stick to a certain tempo, I still always a high pulse of 170-190. For me, this table is not much use, but I am on this point, a happy exception.
Private Traininsplan
Who all do not want to use, can also create his own training plan. Every single minute can be planned. Resistance, heart rate and more can be scheduled. A great thing, if you prefer like it individually.
In addition to all these great choices, there are also other things, such as a recovery period. Expresses her this in training, your heart rate is measured for one minute and you get shown how fit you since F1 comparable to very good and F6 is already like in real life at the bottom. To measure you have to put both his hands on the bars, where the integrated hand pulse sensor surfaces are attached. These can take advantage of her, moreover, for body fat. In STOP mode you press the button, then your BMI and your body fat percentage is measured.
IN TEST
I use the elliptical machine for a week now, and I must say, one notices a significant difference to my old elliptical machine. As I said I've always performed 35 minutes and about 5km with my Kettler model. Here I have usually completed at level 3 of 10 my training. Since I have this usually accompanied with a few boxing exercises and sing along, I was then still quite exhausted. In addition to me after the feet have always blown. Do I have to boxing exercises, dumbbells and sing along waived burned me while still feet, but I certainly could make even longer, if not then the motivation would have declined slowly. When Skandika crosstrainer Jupiter there is a very stark difference. The feet do not burn, but I'm frankly after 15 minutes to burn completely KO and my lungs Stage one, as I had an hour of training behind me. The pulse measurement is I do not exactly, because supposedly he is usually at 120, even though my heart is racing faster. For comparison, I used a clock and my pulse was closer to 160. But at this point all the heart rate monitor that I've met so far, quite inaccurate, though additional ear clip or the like is omitted. Why am I so exhausted? When Jupiter is the resistance to the lightest level, similar to level 5 with my old Crosser. However, once set in motion, I can do Suddenly 2km in 5 minutes, where I have always managed otherwise micht effort 1km. It is a change, but worth it, because in order to burn significantly more fat and the condition is rather better.
Otherwise, I noticed in the first few days that the armbar unfortunately something far outside. I am quite small with 165cm and have rather short arms. In any case, the distance at Kettler is pleasant. Here I come often tempted to set the arm movement, or just to use when the resistance increases. I also have to admit that I lack a cup holder. The elliptical machine Jupiter is unfortunately so great that he is in another place. Nearby is no sill or other storage space. During the training, however, you should take plenty of fluids. Either I hold it in my hand, please my stepson to hand me the bottle, pause briefly or renounce it entirely.
VIDEO TO USE
Unfortunately, the video is quite large, even after the reduction. Therefore, I can only offer you the link to Youtube. Here I have all the functions presented times closer, demonstrating the noise and the like.

CONCLUSION
Despite these shortcomings, I am really happy with the elliptical machine Jupiter. The training brings more than the Herumgehampel on my old cross trainer me. As I said in the video, 799 are of course very much. But at Amazon there is the device fortunately well below the MSRP, and therefore I can only say that whoever wants to work honestly. should it be bought.
