Movement

Unlike other cardio machines, the Cybex Arc Trainer avoids boring repetitive routines. By allowing foot movement in any direction, you can add variety and pace changes. This will also help keep your motivation level high and the pounds dropping off.

Weight Loss Program

The Cybex Arc Trainer can either be set manually, where you control the variety of pace, motion, and resistance, or you can use teh weight loss program. This is set to use light resistance and incline and then increase in intervals of intensity. This way you can work out longer and shed more calories without becoming tired.

Builds Lower Body Muscle

Most ellipticals only burn calories and don't create and build muscle. While fat loss is important, build muscle is going to pay off in the long run. The more muscle mass you have, the more calories your body will naturally use throughout the day.
