Spoilt for choice with programmes

Of course, there is always another option of more programmes and that is to purchase an iFit subscription which gives users instant access to hundreds of workouts online. This model has the latest iFit Bluetooth Smart (BLE) enabled technology.

Turn up the heat with variable resistance levels

Ahhh… so comfortable. Wait, am I exercising?
It’s hard to believe that an exercise bike can but this comfortable but with oversized pedals and adjustable padded saddle you can eliminate lower back pressure and find your ideal posture.
Your stats are shown on an easy-reach round watt LED display, and heart rate measurements are taken from the front dual EKG pulse grips.
