Upper body workout too? Does this elliptical machine (Horizon Fitness EX-69 Elliptical Trainer) include the moving handles so the upper body gets some benefit as well?

It does have upper body moving handles. Make sure you try this out in person if over 5'8" in height.

It is a good all around exersize machine. you use your legs and your arms. Yes it does pull on your stomach muscles. I use it mostly for a quick workout. you can get your heart rate up . If you want you can work up a sweat. I have had mine for 15 years. they are well built.

Yes it does and it has a height adjustment. The machine works great. I am rather tall and I still get a great range of motion. Love the seated pull, almost as good as a rowing machine. The weights travel up and down a post. I applied lubricant to make the lift motion smoother. Went together easy if you have any mechanical ability.

Yes, greatly. Back and shoulders also. Been working out for many years and find it an excellent way to work out upper body !

I don't know. I've had the elliptical for about a year and haven't looked at the user's manual in months. Not sure it would tell me, anyway. I suppose I could research it, but so could you. The machine is working fine for me and I haven't had any problems with it.

Not really. It's already a bike. The conversion is the handles. You have a choice of two slots: one for stationary - where the poles don't move or two: where the poles move for elliptical training. So you can actual do four different types of exercising: stationary bike, bike with arm movement, elliptical with arms moving or without arm movement!

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'm sorry, I do not have this piece of equipment any longer. I returned it about 1 month after I purchased it due to difficult to use and couldn't get ANYONE to talk to on the phone, but that was about 2 years ago, maybe it's different now. I purchased an EPIC elliptical from Dick's and love it.

It tracks movement more so than steps so I believe it should work on an elliptical machine. I have not tried it though.

It did not come with a workout routine, but it did come with a exercise chart showing the various ways to use the machine and target certain muscle group. Overall, I would give it a 7.5 out of 10. It took a long time to install the whole thing. Instruction was not easy to read (all visual aid/small pictures/ a lot of parts). Took me awhile to put it together because I lost motivation. If I had the chance I would've just got the 100 Pound stack.

I don't know. Workout is NOT as intense as an elliptical though. So far have only kept track of my time on it.

I don't think it adds as much as something like an elliptical machine, and it's not a very intense workout, even at 30 minutes. On the other hand, it does add a little something. If you're looking for a relatively low cost, it's an okay option, but if you're looking for a really hard workout, it's not likely to be enough.

Yes the outside arms/handles move with the pedal. Its like an elliptical with a seat.

It is pretty heavy, I cannot move it but my husband can. I am recovering from open heart surgery, so I haveen't been using it as an elliptical mode. It is a good sturdy machine.

This is a great elliptical, not too big but gives u a GREAT workout. Have it in my bedroom, it's nice and HEAVY, it is set on wheels for ease of movement. But great piece of equipment overall!

yes if you work hard enough. I added arm stretch/ rope to exercise upper body to the machine....
