What is the difference between the cardio strider and the Nustep seated elliptical
837414
Hello, Motion is about the same but the CS1 is strictly a home unit while the Nustep is meant for heavier Clinical / Club use. The frame is a lot heavier on the Nustep to handle users 350lbs plus in addition to its parts being able to withstand long daily commercial usage like 15 hours a day. The CS1 cannot handle this workload. The cs1 does not have preset motivational programs and the seat does not swivel left and right like the nustep. If you can enter the unit from the front or you are not physically limited so you do not need a swivel seat, this part does not matter. But the CS1 is only for home use, no more than 2 users or so daily. It feels good and has been really a welcoming piece for users at home wanting a low impact total body recumbent. Regards,

I can't exactly answer your question but I might be able to help you make your decision. This machine gives no resistance itself. only the muscles required to move your legs. It will create movement of the foot, ankle, knee and hip joints much easier than an exercise bike. The sitting position can be adjusted depending on what you sit on. So if a doctor said to lightly exercise the hips, this is a good bet.

Dont know but i would guess no. The heart monitor that came with it is useless so i bought my own finger o2 heart rate monitor. But i do not use it all the time. The elliptical is a great work out, i bought it for the work out not the heart monitor.

I don't think so. I know there were some parts that looked like they might be detachable (that being one of them) but it actually is not and the way it looks is that it was not one of the ones that I attached together myself but rather a solid single piece that just looks like it was two separate parts at one point.An excellent overall machine however and it is possible to use the system using the pulse grips instead of the ski grips but if you want an elliptical without the handle bars, I'm not sure this is the one you really want then.

This is what I've noticed about the pedometer with various machines - 30 minutes on the treadmill, 2 miles ... registers about 2200 steps, registers all 30 minutes as aerobic 30 minutes on the elliptical, miles ... registers about 2000 steps, registers all 30 minutes as aerobic 30 minutes on the recumbent bike ... no steps registered (or minimal, less than 20) 30 minutes walking outside (with stroller) ... 2 miles, about 2000 steps, registers less then 30 minutes aerobic (maybe I'm having to stop sometimes for the kids or to chat with a neighbor) I think the longer stride and less impact of the elliptical cause less steps to be registered, but I like that it still registers the consistent time as aerobic. I've found this the case with almost all pedometers (register more steps on the treadmill then the elliptical even though the elliptical says a greater distance has been traveled). JenB

The seat is about as comfortable as a bike seat. It's not padded very well but you will not be sitting on it like you would be riding a bike. Use the elliptical system and not the bike part. You will burn more calories and use the seat to rest. It's a great machine for the money. Good luck.

I think the difference is the rounded corners and metal slide rails. See my review of this item, not worth it. Look into something better.

It will track movement consistent with movement already being recorded from the location you wear your Vivofit (assume wrist), so your arm movements on the elliptical will record the same as your arm movements while striding if you pump air while doing so. I have not gotten to the depth of trying to set up particular exercise (swimming, elliptical, weight training) that has a distinct burn rate that differs from "standard" activity, like I had on my Fitbit.

An elliptical trainer is mainly for aerobic exercise. This machine will give you a full-body workout. I would have preferred to purchase a pilates machine instead of this one, though.

Never tried the Strider but, My 2 yr old and my 4 yr old both use the foot rest. They run and once they are going fast enough they put their feet up on the rest and cruise around. Very good balance bike. Inside of 3 weeks of riding the Kazam my 4 yr old asked me to take the training wheels off of her "big girl" bike. She rides both like a champ hasn't looked back for the training wheels at all.

I do not know how the two rowers differ functionally, but they look similar, and the Velocity costs less. I didn't know to expect the excellent customer service I encountered later when a I had a problem with the console unit, but I guess I just lucked out in my choice of device.

Before I returned the exerciser I realized that the tension knob really didn't tightened and I turned the knob until I couldn't turn it anymore...still no tension. I purchased the Stamina 55-1610 InMotion E1000 Elliptical Trainer. I should be receiving it tomorrow 08/09/2014. Cost more but I'm willing to try it. Hope this helped.

No we thought it would be based on the reviews but it's not the same. There is a reason that's it's cheaper than the NuStep. Another thing is that it's a lot higher to get onto the seat which we didn't realize either. Overall NOT happy with the machine.

This is a Q/A thread aimed at those other customers that have previously purchased the Cardio Strider 2. You need to contact the dealer.

I do not know what the difference is. The one I bought was a waste of money! I bought it to be used in our second home should we have more guests than beds, but it did not work, your body sinks down to the carpeted floor. I was very disappointed for I something similar at this home and it works wonderfully!

The main difference in these three machines is the motor. The T101 has a 2.25 Continuous-Duty Horsepower motor while the T202 and the T303 has a 2.5 Continuous-Duty Horsepower. This makes the T101 ideal for walking and light jogging, while the T202 and T303 are great for runners. The T303 has a Heavy-Duty Folding Frame With Extra Stability Bar. If you are wanting to run everyday on the treadmill, the T303 treadmill is the one for you. The T202 and T303 also has an incline rage up to 12% while the T101 has an incline range up to 10%. The T101 and T202 has 30 programs and the T303 has 12.

I own a TrekDesk, and use it with a treadmill. I've been looking at it with your question in mind, and find it difficult to imagine both that one would fit in/under the TrekDesk and that, even if it could, you would find you could actually use the desk from an elliptical. To the fit: Ellipticals tend to be very vertical, and you need the length of the treadmill to be able to set the TrekDesk in front of the treadmill's controls without the depth of the desk taking up too much of the track for you to still be able to walk. To the usefulness: I find I can read at the TrekDesk at speeds of up to 3.8 mph, but if I want to actually work, that is, write or use a mouse, 1.5-2 mph is the most I can do. If your body is shifting up and down on an elliptical, your hands would be even less likely to have the fine motor control you need for either activity. Hope that helps
