Our Review:
The Nordictrack Audiostrider 990 elliptical is unique - so popular it's been around for over 4 years now (with yearly updates). Nordictrack tends to come out with new models every year - so this gives you an idea of how popular it is.
In fact, it's been a certain consumer magazine "Best Buy" for 4 years in a row now. This is probably due to the fact that it's packs a lot of popular buyer features into a small price tag.
For example you get power incline of up to 40 degrees, which is higher than many of their other crosstrainer inclines. Incline changes the slope of the elliptical motion and can give you better crosstraining (and more calorie burning) overall.
There's also a 3-angle adjustment on the foot pedals. So you can choose the right toe-heel angle for your body, which further helps you customize your workout to be more comfortable for you.
The Nordictrack Audiostrider 990 elliptical also comes iFit LIVE compatible. With this feature you can connect your elliptical to the Internet using the wireless in your home. From there you can download new workouts, track your fitness progress over time and map out new routes using Googlemaps.
You can so so much with iFit that you'll basically never get bored with your crosstrainer.
The stride length on this elliptical is advertised as 20 - 23" which is a generous stride (a longer stride helps you fully work your leg muscles for a more comprehensive workout).
However be aware that you change the stride length by changing the incline settings (it's not an adjustable stride length as many people think of it.)
Another nice touch about this model are the touch controls on the moving armbars. You can change your resistance or incline on the fly without having to stop working your arms - which is very convenient.
Are there any drawbacks?
Be aware that the iFit LIVE module is extra on this machine. And if you don't have wireless internet in your home, you won't be able to use it. (However you do still get 30 built-in workouts on this model to challenge you as well.)
