Precor Elliptical Machine EFX 5.33

The Precor elliptical machine EFX 5.33 is another great choice for home exercise machines. One of the great features is its programmability. It has many different programs you can input to vary your workout from day to day. And no, it's very easy to do, not like figuring out your DVD or computer.

This model has moving handlebars. That's a nice feature because it helps you keep your balance and your body in the right position while you're exercising. On top of that, when you use the handlebars, you're actually burning more calories because your arms have to work as well as your legs.

One of the things you can do when working out with a Precor elliptical machine is to change up your intensity during your workout. You can start out the first few minutes with low intensity to warm up your body. Then crank up the intensity a little bit for a few more minutes, then do it some more. End your workout at a lower intensity to cool down. Doing it this way will actually burn more calories than staying at the same speed the whole workout.
