NordicTrack GX4.0 Recumbent Review

The NordicTrack GX4.0 Recumbent gives you plenty of features to add variety to your fitness routine and provide that extra motivation that you need as time goes on and as you spend more time working out.

In addition to the NordicTrack Comfort and Quality the GX4.0 Recumbent has a 300 pound weight limit, a port for an iPod or MP3 player with built in speakers, 24 Built-In Workout programs, a better range of resistance levels than with most recumbent bikes in its price range and is iFit Live compatible.

NordicTrack fitness bikes are manufactured by Icon Fitness, the largest fitness equipment manufacturer in the world, which gives them some advantages to offer more for less and to provide excellent warranties and customer service.

NordicTrack Recumbent Bikes are sold online directly from NordicTrack and at Sears which also gives them the advantage of brand name popularity.

About-Bicycles Review

The NordicTrack GX4 is a high quality recumbent fitness bike, with more features than you would expect in its price range. You get the Lifetime NordicTrack warranty (on the frame) plus plenty of options for variety and motivation with the iFit Live technology, the music port and speakers and with the built-in workout programs..

The iFit Live technology, with its wireless data transfers, is currently the ultimate workout technology on the market but there are some costs involved to use this feature.

If you would like to track your workout data on the internet for free, you can use the MyPlate feature with the Livestrong LS6.0R, although you will not have a wireless connection but will instead need to transfer the data via the USB port that comes with the exercise bike.

Note: Tracking your workout data on the internet can be very motivational especially if you share the data with your family and friends who may also be working on their own goals.
