ProForm 485e Elliptical Exercise Machine

The 485E is a rear-drive elliptical machine. ProForm, 485E was produced by Icon Health & Fitness, a large company that manufactures several popular exercise brands. The 485E provides a low-impact workout you can do in the comfort of your home. The 485E has a no-frills design with squared-off corners. The upright supports moving handlebars, a stationary "T" handle and a small, basic console that features a book holder, a water bottle holder and a small LED screen. The 485E has a user weight limit of 250 pounds and is meant to be used in your home. You must power the console with two "AA" batteries as the 485E does not plug into a wall outlet. The 485E pedal arms move in either direction, which offers exercise variety. You have a choice of using just the pedals or also adding an upper-body component by moving the handlebars in conjunction with the pedals. The console has a LED-lighted track, which represents one quarter of a mile and provides a visualization of your distance. The display shows your speed in miles per hour, elapsed time, distance in miles, number of laps completed on the LED track and approximate calories you have burned.
