Lateral Motion Reinventing cross training, the innovative Lateral X utilizes varying planes of motion, including a stepping movement and adjustable, side-to-side motion, for functional exercise that builds stamina, muscular endurance and core stability. Research shows a 27% increase in caloric expenditure going from lateral width 1 to lateral width 10, and a 30% increase in outer and inner thigh work over traditional ellipticals. The variety within the movements keeps exercisers motivated and enjoying workouts!* *Study conducted by Minnesota State University Mankato going from lateral width 1 to lateral width 10. Stepping Motion For additional variety, the stepping motion can be used to alternate with lateral movements, for recovery or to incorporate beneficial cross training and target different muscle groups. Exercisers are free to customize their motion at any time throughout workouts. Upper-Body Ergonomics The upper body gets totally involved using the patented, breakthrough Multi-Grip and Converging Path handlebars, which fits exercisers comfortably. It’s easy to target different arm, chest and back muscles by changing the hand position on the Multi-Grip handlebars, which include fingertip controls for stride width and resistance.

It’s simple to get on and off the machine safely with its low step-up height and rear access.

Personal Entertainment The Lateral X boasts supreme entertainment with a choice of a smart or standard console, which add various options, including an Internet browser, ANT+ compatibility and mobile device charging. Both also can be equipped with a personal viewing screen (PVS) or 9000Mhz wireless receiver for premium customization.
