Gazelle
Edge Exercise Glider - Review
The patented dual-action split suspension offers a broad
range of motion and total freedom of movement as you glide.
You can start doing a slow walk and gradually progress into a full run.
At any level of speed, the smooth, gliding motion reduces strain on
your lower back, knees, and ankles.
Constructed with solid, rolled steel that can hold up to 250 lbs, the
glider is durable and sturdy. Don't worry about losing your
balance:
the extra wide non-skid foot
platforms will keep you stabilized. And with its high-density
foam covering, the handlebars offer a comfortable grip, too.
You need only about 3 feet of clearance in front of you and at your
back to use this aerobic equipment. Also try to go slowly the first
time as you get your bearings, and then gradually increase your
pace.
Features to track your progress are included, too. The machine
comes with a user-friendly computer display that provides feedback on your speed,
distance, time, and the approximate number of calories you have burned
during your workout.
One downside is that the exercise glider does not offer the option to
raise the resistance level. So once your cardio capacity increases
after you've used the Gazelle for a while, you may find that you need
another way to challenge yourself.
Some users have reported that the equipment squeaks after extended use.
To fix this, simply lubricate the affected areas with a small amount of
WD-40 as suggested in the owner's manual, and it will operate
noiselessly again.
The Gazelle Edge is shipped partially assembled. Most users have
reported completing
assembly within an hour.
Storage is also convenient. You can fold it after use by
snapping the two foot platforms on the arms and then sliding the frame
together. The unit weights about 40 pounds, lightweight enough to be
easily moved. It can be stored in a closet, or under a bed.
