When the phrase “The Best Life Has to Offer” was first used, it spawned during a converaation between fitness experts sitting around a campfire, trying to come up with ways to describe this Precor AMT 100i, or otherwise known as the Adaptive Motion Trainer. With unique capabilities such as an adjustable stride and an unlimited range of motion, Precor gave the fitness industry a gift and exactly what it needed, when they created this health club quality, Adaptive Motion Trainer. Although Precor has an outstanding reputation for designing and developing commercial and home fitness equipment, until they created the AMT 100i, Precor had not yet developed a cardiovascular machine that adapted to the walking, jogging and running motions of its user, stride for stride and step for step, with as much precision as the AMT. Being able to naturally conform to its users bio-mechanical movements and running motions, is a revolutionary feature, and just recently mastered.

The greatest and most important feature of the Precor AMT 100i is the fact that the stride length and running motions are determined by the user on the machine, and nothing else. While the majority of elliptical trainers have a set stride stride length that can not be adjusted, others have an adjustable stride that can be adjusted manually, or adjusted on the fly with the push of a button. What sets this extraordinary Precor trainer so far apart from the rest is that the Precor AMT 100i has an adjustable stride length, that the user adjusts, based on their own preferences and comfort level. Changing the stride length anywhere from 0″ to 27″ is very simple, and it can be done without pressing any buttons, turning any knobs, or screwing in and out nuts and bolts. The stride conforms to the user and his or her own natural running motion and the stride length and motion can be changed from one stride to the next. In other words, feel free to extend your legs throughout your workout as far as you can, just as if you were running outdoors. Being able to adjust the stride and tension at your own discretion allows you to stay fresh and not get bored.

Through being able to adjust their stride, the AMT allows users of all shapes and sizes to naturally duplicate their stride length without having to getting on and off different ellipticals until they find one that conforms to their running motion. Another solid benefit of having an adjustable stride are that it enables the user to develop and tone different muscle groups. People can work on different muscle groups in their legs and buttocks through smooth and natural rhythmic motions, enabled through stride adjustments, designed to mimic the customary stride of the user.

Adjustable strides also allows users to change their pace and bio-mechanics at their convenience. Also, people of different shapes and sizes are all able to use this extraordinary Precor trainer, and adjust the stride, based on his or her needs. For example, take Amy and Joe, husband and wife for over 15 years. Amy is 5′3 and Joe is 6′2. Clearly, their stride lengths will not be identical, meaning that the same elliptical that works well for Joe, is not going to work as well for Amy. The only way that they can both be comfortable using the same elliptical, is if they buy a unit that allows them to adjust the stride length. Having an elliptical with an adjustable stride such as this eliminates the need for various ellipticals to accommodate different user characteristics.

For example, if you are purchasing this unit for your home or a health club, you will have people with a wide variety of stride lengths due to variations in height, leg length and so on. But, with this innovative model, each user can find his or her own comfort level (perfect stride length) with the simple push of a button. The stride is adjusted electronically rather than the user having to stop their workout and manually adjust the stride. Automatic adjustment is key to an uninterrupted workout, which is why it is awesome that you can adjust this stride on the fly, during the course of your exercising, without having to stop.

An adjustable stride length also allows users to develop different muscle groups and target different areas of their butt and thighs. It is key to work out muscle groups that are unaccustomed to physical activity, that way, you burn fat in places you would never imagine! Being able to focus on different muscle groups is an extremely important factor to keeping your workout routines creative and cutting-edge.

Your mind and body work together and your entire body performs it best when both are intricately involved and on the same page. When you get on the AMT you realize within minutes that it is the best elliptical cross-trainer of all time. It is made with thick steel framework and the unit weighs close to 600 pounds, which highlights and underlines its durability. Not only is its structural base and framework as solid as a tank, but its ability to perfectly mimic the walking, jogging and running motions of users that come in all shapes and sizes, is what truly illustrates its most impotant feature.

The Experience SeriesTM display console is another factor that eliminates fatigue and workout indifference. It allows users to choose from a wide range of challenging exercise programs and motivational workout options. Please remember to use the various programming options due to their proven ability to maximize results.

Maximizing results through user-interactive programming will help you save time and remain healthy. In order for one to truly get the most out of their home fitness equipment, first and foremost, they must like the equipment itself. It is hard enough to get a solid workout in after a long day at work that the last thing any over us want is some sub-par elliptical trainer that takes up space and breaks down 1 out of every 4 times we use it. With top quality fitness gear, one is able to reach his or her full potential and really get the most out of their physical training. To reiterate what was mentioned earlier, an awesome trainer such as the Precor AMT 100i feels so great because not only is it sturdy as a mountain, but more importantly, its bio-mechanics do a phenomenal job in duplicating the natural stride length of its user. No limits. No boundaries. Just a free flowing, natural, user-defined, running and walking motion.
