We're always on the watch for workout gear that'll help our readers get to the next level. What this means is investigating a lot of products -- some great, some hilariously bad. After weeding out the pretenders, we've produce three new machines worth checking out.
EVO Fitness Bike

For all those of you who live in a colder climate, committing to year-round outdoor cycling could mean slapping snow tires on your bike and pedaling around in a snowsuit like some lunatic yeti.
We understand what you're saying: While it's true that exercise bikes haven't undergone any mammoth changes since then -- you still sit on them, grab the handlebars and pump your legs -- the EVO includes two critical advancements:
First, there's no chain. No belt. No flywheel. A planetary gear system is worked off by the EVO. Upshot: a smoother, more problem-free ride.
Second, the EVO's frame isn't fixed in position. This relentless power activate your core muscles and forces you to truly preserve your balance, supplying a complete - body work out.
Jacobs Ladder

Is it true that the notion of pulling yourself up an endless ladder sound like a thrill? Or does this sound like a Sisyphean chore that fills you with existential dread? Either way, you've surely got to try it.
Jacobs Ladder is the equivalent of the stair-stepper or StepMill, but with a ladder instead of stairs. The ladder is placed at angle, offering the most natural and comfortable climbing motion. This angle also takes tension off the lower back, hips and knees. Unlike lots of other stationary cardio machines, Jacobs Ladder provides a greater range of motion by engaging both your top and lower body in addition to your own core, thereby maximizing your time and effort.
"Unlike stair climbers, with Jacobs Ladder you can't hold to the sides."
Product Weight: 39.4 lbs.
Color: Various
Price: $3,500

Do you hate recumbent bicycles and all they stand for? Is it true that the specter of the fellow in spandex astride a recumbent bike drive one to insanity? Does the smile on such man's face -- a supercilious grin that says: My bicycle is more efficient than yours! -- make you need to wind his flapping ponytail around his pencil-neck and choke him purple? Rest assured: These are perfectly normal feelings. Embrace them.
Even better, try the ElliptiGo bike -- the anti-recumbent. Instead of sitting down, you stand up. Instead of pumping your legs back and forwards, you pedal in a cool elliptical pattern. As the elliptical machines found in most gyms the ElliptiGo works on the exact same ergonomic principles. The smooth movement of the machine and emulated by the ElliptiGo makes it a perfect alternative for many who've suffered or are prone to impact injuries brought on by excessive pressure on the joints.
The ElliptiGo varies slightly from an elliptical machine in that it doesn't have moving armatures to take; it has handlebars just like a bike. A 11speed gearing system lets the machine to reach 25 miles per hour, and by gearing down, you can climb the same steep hills that you might tackle on a typical bicycle. A footstep-span adjustment means that the ElliptiGo can be utilized by riders of heights.
