The X7i is a good option if you can afford it for a purchase from Nordictrack in the UK as it is part of the more modern product ranges of Nordictrack compared to other models available in the UK line up.

Pros of the Nordictrack X7i

Pros of the Nordictrack X7i are:

Good value for money
40% incline

The Nordictrack X7i treadmill is a good value for money in the UK line up, especially for home use. You will get the 40% incline at a reasonable price and not leave money on the table as with the S50. Of course, this is only going to make sense, if you are intending to use this feature on a regular basis. Otherwise, you can go for a cheaper model with a lower incline.

Cons of the NordicTrack X7I

The cons of the Nordictrack X7i are:

Price
40% incline

While it is a great feature to have, especially if you want to burn a lot of calories in a short period of time, the 40% incline is not necessarily a feature you need. This is one of the main drivers of price and makes this comparatively expensive to models which only have a 12 - 15% incline. That is more than enough if you are only running.

Alternatives to the Nordictrack X7i

Alternatives to the Nordictrack X7i are:

The Nordictrack T 7.5 is a good alternative to the X7i if you do not need the 40% incline. With this machine, you will get a stronger motor and a 7 inch HD touch screen instead of a backlit display. It is also slightly less costly than the X7i. Unless you can make a really comüelling case on why you need up to 40% of incline, this is the machine to get. Commercial buyers also might want to consider this machine instead as 3 CHP give it a longer lifetime.

The Nordictrack FS5i is the elliptical available in the Uk from Nordictrack which is in the same budget range as the X7i. If you want to provide for the entire family and go a bit easier on the joints, this might be the better option for you. This elliptical has the free stride technology which makes it a three in one machine for running, stepping, and as an elliptical. Some people find it hard to get used to keeüing the balance on such a machine and it does burn fewer calories per minute than a regular treadmill.

The VersaClimber H/HP is the home use version of the VersaClimber line up. It has been stripped of some commercial warranties to make it more affordable for home use. The VersaClimber is the ultimate machine to maximize the calories burned per minute in your home. It will also eat up a lot less space than a treadmill or elliptical. If you want to work your core and burn a lot of calories, this is the machine to get. The only downside of this machine is that it is not really for beginners. You need a certain degree of fitness to work with this and not turn it into complete frustration. Don't get a VersaClimber as an "I want to get fit" item. It is more suited to "I want to go to beast mode and do not have the time to go on a one hour run each day" bracket.

The Rogue echo bike is the compromise solution between space, budget, and calories burned per minute. I personally think this is the ideal machine for a home gym for many uses at a reasonable price when it comes to cardio. The cons os this machine are that it comes with no fans, multimedia or any other little niceties to make your workout less challenging. It is a compact, sturdy, bike. It does not care to entertain you to keep you motivated.

Summary of the Nordictrack X7i

I personally think this is the best buy for a 40% treadmill in the UK line up of Nordictrack. It is also a very good value for money option, as you can definitely go wrong with the outdated S series which is still listed on the Uk website.

Overview and review of the TITAN heavy duty push pull weight sled

This is an overview of the TITAN heavy duty push pull weight sled including pros, cons, and alternatives. This article was originally published in Which cardio equipment to get from TITAN. Follow the links for more details.

Overview of the TITAN Heavy Duty High Low push Pull weight sled

The heavy-duty High low Push-pull weight sled from TITAN is a clone of the Rogue butcher sled. This sled has two load pins and is built for heavy loads to be pushed around. This sled has a considerable size and is, therefore, harder to store than a dog sled. This is the right choice when you want to make big burly Rugby players and NFL players move seemingly immovable objects. The full specifications are:

- Heavy Duty 11 gauge steel

- Dual Plate Horns at 10" High

- High/Low push/pull handles with strap hook

- Black Powder Coated frame

- Breaks down easily for Quick transport or storage

- 600 lb plus Capacity

- Post spacing: 26-in.

- Dimensions: 46-in (L) x 30.5-in (W) x 36-in (H).

- Sled Skis: 8-in x 5-in x 8mm thick

- Weight: 64 lb.

This is a big boy toy and needs space. Do not consider it when you can not exercise outdoors or have considerable space indoors.

Pros of the TITAN Heavy Duty High Low push Pull weight sled

The pros of the TITAN Heavy Duty High Low push-pull weight sled are:

Price
Size

This sled is all about moving as much weight on a sled as possible without paying big bucks for it. If that is the kind of thing you need, you found your companion in the TITAN Heavy Duty High Low push-pull weight sled.

Cons of the TITAN Heavy Duty High Low push Pull weight sled

The cons of the TITAN Heavy Duty High Low push-pull set are:

Size
TITAN finish

While the size is great if you are looking for a big sled it can become a problem when you do not have the space to store the sled. Especially in a home gym, it can just get in the way as you will not use it as often as other equipment and can not just lean it against a wall like a dog sled to store it away.

As TITAN offers some of the cheapest equipment around that also comes with its perils. There is a higher possibility, that you have to force some of the parts as they do not fit snug. This can be fixed when you are a good handyman, but can also become so extreme, that you might question why you bought something new from TITAN rather than used from a different brand.

Alternatives to the TITAN Heavy Duty High Low push Pull weight sled

If you run a respectable home gym and want to add a sled, the TITAN Pro sled might be a better choice from TITAN. If your goal is to add some resistance to your sprints and push a bit of weight around, the TITAN Pro Sled is more than enough in capacity and offers more versatility while taking up less space.

The low bar push pull drag sled from Rogue is a simple $100sled that comes with everything you need. It is simple and can be used with a harness or at the handle. A very cheap way of getting fit and not to be sneered at, especially if you only use low loads and find the Pro Sled too expensive and the Heavy Duty sled too big.

The power bar weighted sled with leash and harness is the ideal sled to keep in the back of your truck or car. If you like to take a sled outside to your favorite hill, this is the one to get. The plate pin can be collapsed so that it can be easily stored in tight spots. For the price of roughly $80, you can even consider getting more than one and just wreck them. The only downside is that this sled has a lower plate capacity and the metal drags directly on the ground.

Conclusion for the TITAN Heavy Duty High Low push Pull weight sled

The heavy Duty high low push-pull sled from TITAN is a good choice if you want to save money, have space to run and store it, and just occasionally do heavy loads on it. If you have a team of players that will abuse this sled around the clock you might want to upgrade to the Rogue butcher as it will last longer.
