Product Description
The Stamina Air 1725 Elliptical Cross Trainer provides an effective, low-impact cardiovascular and strength-training workout. The elliptical cross trainer allows you to simultaneously work your upper and lower body without joint pressure or stress. Ellipticals are great options for individuals who are older or suffer from injuries. With an elliptical, you burn calories as well as strengthen and tone your abs, legs, hips and glutes without the damage caused by impact. The Air 1725 provides electronically controlled air resistance that targets the muscles in both your lower and upper body. Control the resistance level or intensity of your workout to target your individual fitness needs. The electronic InTouch monitor clearly displays your time, speed, distance and calories with simple one-button control so you can track your progress with every stride! Monitor your heart rate to achieve your optimal fitness potential via the built-in fingertip pulse sensors. The dual-action, foam-padded handlebars work your arms, chest, shoulders and back. The supportive, oversized pedals move in both the forward and backward direction for excellent range of motion. And, the 14in stride length provides ample space in which to extend and work your muscles. Target not only your hips, quadriceps and thighs with forward motion, but your calves, hamstrings and lower buttocks with the reverse. Get the cardiovascular and fitness benefits of running, jogging, jumping rope or doing aerobics without the risk of injury or the inconvenience of leaving your home. Instead, increase you metabolism and work your entire body with the sleek, stylish and convenient Stamina Air 1725.

Amazon.com Product Description
Combining air resistance and electronically controlled tension, the compact and affordable Stamina Air 1725 elliptical cross trainer provides a cardiovascular workout in your home that also helps shape and tone legs, hips, glutes, and abs. Since your feet never leave the pedals the Stamina Air 1725 Cross Trainer gives a low-impact workout that is easy on your joints. In fact, whereas jogging, jumping rope, aerobics classes, and exercising on a treadmill all require your body to absorb the force of impact, exercising on an elliptical can be compared to running in midair. Because ellipticals are so low impact and easy on the joints, they are also a good choice for older people or for individuals who have old injuries.



The Stamina 1725 exercise monitor. See larger image for more features.
Up and down buttons adjust the resistance to control the intensity of your workout. The foot pedals can be worked in a forward or reverse direction. Resistance may be added as desired to increase the workload on your legs throughout the forward or backward stride to tone thighs and glutes. The exercise monitor's built-in fingertip pulse sensor tracks your heart rate so you work out within your target heart rate zone.

About Elliptical Trainers
Elliptical trainers represent the next wave of advancement in low-impact cardiovascular exercise machines and continue to grow in popularity. By simulating motions experienced through walking, stepping, cycling, and skiing, elliptical machines allow for a smooth and fluid motion while building strength in the arms and legs. Similar to the exercise position for treadmills, elliptical trainers are used by standing in an upright position while holding the handrails of the machine. With elliptical trainers, however, your feet remain in the foot pedals throughout the exercise regimen and circulate in a smooth and seamless motion, resulting in little to no impact on the knees, back, and hips.

Elliptical trainers are compatible for all ages and fitness levels and allow you to select the difficulty level through the incline and intensity settings. Additionally, elliptical trainers allow you to determine the complexity of your workout based on your needs, all while listening to music, watching television, or reading a magazine while exercising in the comfort and safety of your own home.

Although different types of elliptical trainers offer an assortment of features, many of them include an array of challenging programs, forward and reverse directional movement, EKG grip pulse handles, a lightweight portable design with easy fold-up capability, and a monitor displaying calories burned, distance, speed, time, and heart rate. Other types of exercise machines, namely treadmills and bikes, offer excellent cardiovascular exercise and muscular training for the legs in a forward-motion exercise. Elliptical trainers take this to the next level by offering an upper and lower body workout with dual motion, challenging and diverse programs, and a low-impact exercise machine that won't strain sensitive joints.

4 out of 5 stars Stamina Air 1725 Trainer Elliptical   June 26, 2010
deanlor
I had a good experience in buying and assembling this machine. This was my first experience assembling anything and I did fine. It feels a little loose when I am exercising, probably need someone stronger to tighten it up. I would recommend the product, it delivers what it promises.


3 out of 5 stars Use Some Thread Lock to Prevent the Machine from Falling Apart   June 1, 2010
S. Council (Chicago, IL)
By no means do I think this is a high quality elliptical. You get what you pay for. I had the same problems that everyone else is describing. If you haven't given up hope yet, I recommend using some Thread Lock which is available at Home Depot or any hardware store. Coat the threads of the screws that come loose with this stuff and it SHOULD lock the self-loosening screws in place making the attachment moreless permanent.

I called Amazon...they would accept a return provided I could uninstall the elliptical and place it back into the original carton. Impossible. I called Stamina...they weren't much help either. I sure hope that the Thread Lock works long term. Give it a try and let me know.




1 out of 5 stars HUGE WASTE OF MONEY   May 27, 2010

I bought one of these last July. It was a little tough to put together, but it worked great.... at first. After only 3 months, it broke. Then, after a month of harassing Stamina's customer service describing the problem and trying to get help, they eventually sent me a manual of how to take the machine apart to fix the belt. This led me to discover that all the screws holding the elliptical together had been stripped. The machine is more or less unfixable, and instead of offering a refund or an exchange, Stamina just ignores my calls and emails.

I was the only one in the house who used the elliptical, I weigh 100 lbs, so I don't think I was straining it, and it was used 4 days a week for 30 mins. I hardly think that's excessive use of the machine, and yet it broke after 3 months. And Stamina's customer service is AWFUL.

I am returning this product as it was faulty when I received it and is not sturdy enough.


5 out of 5 stars simple, easy to put together   May 6, 2010

This elliptical was just what I wanted. Something that wouldn't take up much space. It was easy to put together and use. Haven't had any problems with it.
