This elliptical trainer is compatible with all ages and fitness levels and allows you select the difficulty levels through the incline and intensity levels.

The Sole E35 Elliptical Trainer weighs 200 lbs. and has dual wheels that run along the railing and along with its’ 81″ length gives the Sole E35 a solid and stable feel. The 20″ stride is a smooth and very comfortable one, for anyone over 5′5″. Additional comfort comes from the adjustable and articulating foot-pedals, because they angle with the elliptical motion.

You can increase your comfort level by manually adjusting the angle of the pedals. If you have higher arches or flat feet, you can adjust the angle that will reduce stress along with potential numbness in your toes. Additional features include 8 programs, which includes 1 user defined program, for a variety of challenges and for safety it also comes with a wireless heart rate control.

The Sole E35 Elliptical Trainer has many factors which make it stand out as an exceptional value. Sole offers an impressive warranty which includes 5 years on parts and 2 years on labor as compared to many other companies which offer only a 90 day warranty. An excellent indicator of a machine’s quality is its warranty, because it stands to reason that if a company backs up their elliptical trainers with a strong warranty, the machine must be built to last or they would go broke with constant service calls.

The Sole E35 Elliptical (2009 model)  now comes with a power incline feature, which allows you to better target and tone your muscles and it also gives you more of a cardio burn. For a mid-priced elliptical it features a very smooth elliptical motion, which can be attributed to the heavy-duty 30 lb. flywheel. Another feature that stood out is its’ relative quietness compared to other ellipticals in the same price range.

Elliptical trainers are rapidly growing in popularity and are gaining on treadmills in sales. Elliptical Machines offer many benefits including a low impact workout, while exercising your upper and lower body. The Elliptical Trainer reduces the stress and strain on your legs through the elliptical motion.

The shape of the elliptical movement imitates the natural path of the ankle, knee and hip joints during walking, jogging or running. Your feet never leaves the pedals and it feels like you are walking in mid air. With the Elliptical Trainer, you get a workout that exercises the quads, hamstrings, glutes, chest, back, triceps and biceps and the benefit from all this is, you tone more of your overall body then with other exercise machines.

With an Elliptical Trainer there is no impact on the ground, so the joints in your lower body are free from any abuse. If you are looking for a quality cardiovascular workout with the maximum amount of efficiency, you will not be able to overlook the elliptical machine. Another feature is the total body workout which includes dual action handlebars for the upper body and the foot pedals for your legs.

Elder exercisers seem to choose the elliptical because with the lack of impact on the joints, you still burn roughly the same amount of calories as treadmills with the impression of putting in considerably less effort. Variety is a feature, when you use the forward and reversible feature of the foot pedals, with going forward you feel like a cross country skier hitting the slopes and in reverse you target your quadricep muscles. The Sole E95 Elliptical Trainer (2009 Model) is rated right at the top of its class because of ease of use and dependability, and makes a welcome addition to anyone’s home.

Additionally the E95 has a power incline feature which offers additional resistance as well as variable positions for diversity in your workout at the touch of a button. Other features include custom molded hand grips for a comfortable feel and to allow you to get an upper body exercise for a total workout.The best feature is the foot-pads which are designed with a 2 degree inward slope and are adjustable to reduce ankle and knee stress along with helping in the reduction of numb toe effects and sore Achilles tendons which are common occurrences on other Elliptical Machines.

All People aren’t built the same way and don’t walk with the same gait. Some people are knock kneed while others are bow legged and some people walk on the balls of their feet while others walk flat footed. When Sole engineers were testing various Ellipticals they noticed that some people had toes go numb during workouts while others had pain in their knees and they found that this had to do with the fixed angle of the foot-pad from front to rear at the bottom of the ellipse pattern.

Even though most good Elliptical Trainers have what are called “Articulating Footpads” (like the Sole E Series) to address this problem, but it does not solve the problem of numb toes and painful knees for every user. So the engineers at Sole determined the best way to solve this problem was to make the foot-pad angle adjustable to fit different users and the Sole E95 Elliptical Trainer has this feature. the people who had numb toes adjusted the angle higher in the rear and the people with painful knees adjusted the angle lower. The added benefit is when the angle is adjusted lower you work your hamstrings more and when adjusted higher you work your quads harder.

It has been found that when you use an Elliptical the natural alignment of your body is thrown off no matter how close the footpads are. The reason is because when you push backward on the bottom of the stroke your hips will move from one side to the other. The distance between the footpads is not as important as the angle of the footpad from left to right.

When standing behind an Elliptical and look at the foot pads you will notice all Elliptical footpads are flat, but if you look at a Sole Elliptical Trainer you will notice a slight inward angle of 2 degrees. Although this seems insignificant it is important because having this angle puts your body back into a neutral alignment throughout the motion during exercise. This helps alleviate sore backs, knees, ankles and hips and allows you to do a full workout comfortably.

An Elliptical that is not properly designed (Bad Ergonomics) could cause pain or injury to your body, particularly your knees, ankles, feet, hips and back. What makes an Elliptical Trainer Ergonomically good really comes down to if you feel comfortable during your entire workout while using a particular Elliptical. The real test is when you do a full workout of at least 20 minutes, not just a few minutes in a store showroom.

Thoroughly testing an Elliptical before buying it is highly recommended because there are quite a few poorly designed Ellipticals out there. Sole engineers, with over 40 years of experience designing high end exercise machines, studied every high quality Elliptical before  designing their E Series of Ellipticals. All Sole Elliptical Trainers have the finest of Sole technology built into them, no matter which model you choose.
