Key Features:

SIXstar Certified™ Frame – the LS10.0E is the byproduct of extensive biomechanics research. Its craftsmanship is evident through a unique combination of features that includes:

• ZeroGap™ Pedal Distance – a common source of discomfort is pedals that are too wide. The pedal placement on the LS10.0E is purposefully designed to minimize stress to the hips and the back.
• Easy Access – in addition to minimizing the distance between the pedals, LIVESTRONG® has also placed them lower to the ground. Not only does this make it easy to step on and off the elliptical, you're exercising lower to the ground – a feature that many users find more comfortable. This design also allows the elliptical to fit well in rooms with low ceilings such as a basement.
• StraightUP™ Body Posture – this is an uncommon feature among front-drive ellipticals. Unlike many ellipticals that force you to lean forward, which puts stress on your ankles and back, the design of the LS10.0E keeps your body in a more natural upright position – and keeps the handlebars in a complementary position.
• Simulates Your Natural Stride – the stride on the LIVESTRONG® LS10.0E will feel more like your natural running or walking motion to help minimize the fatigue that can come from ellipticals that force an uneven, oval motion.

Additional Features:

• 23 Lb. Flywheel – among the many features that give the LS10.0E its smooth motion is a heavy flywheel. You won't find a larger flywheel  on a comparably priced elliptical.
• Adjustable Power Incline – whether your goal is to target muscle groups like your glutes or lower abs, or if you're looking for a more intense cardio workout, you'll appreciate this feature which features 20 power incline levels at 5% increments to add intensity and resistance to your workout.
•  20″ Stride Length – a 20-inch motion can be a great choice for homes that have multiple users. On the one hand, it may feel like a more natural option compared to the 18-inch available on many ellipticals at this price. It also gives taller people (over six feet) the long stride length they need.
• Weighs 199 lbs. – this is a heavy ellipticals for under $1,000. But this is one case where bigger is better. The extra weight contributes to the stability.
• 11 Programs – the programs range from a manual program that lets you make all selections to LIVESTRONG exclusive programs such as Lance's Climb and Lance's Descent – named for legendary cyclist Lance Armstrong.
• LiveTrack Interactive Technology with Fitness Tracker – it's like having a personal trainer with you to keep you educated and motivated. By using a USB device, you can download your workouts onto a personal account on LiveStrong.com. The web site will track your progress over a week or month and give feedback on your last workout.
  At LiveStrong.com, you can also download new programs that will provide you with new challenges as your fitness needs change.
• Speakers and iPod/MP3 Input – listen to your favorite workout music without the need for headphones.
