An upgrade to the EL-1, the Esprit EL-3 Elliptical Trainer offers a longer frame and a full 20” stride. It has oversized foot pedals that are designed with a 2-degree inward slope which helps reduce the ankle and knee stress that commonly occurs with other elliptical machines. It also has four wheels that ride on heavy duty rails to provide a greater feeling of underfoot stability and help reduce the side to side foot pedal motion. This is ordinarily a feature that can only be found with the more expensive elliptical machines.
Just like the other Esprit Elliptical Trainers, Spirit’s Esprit EL-3 dual action elliptical features a user friendly electronic console with a deep blue backlit LCD display. It is your cardio machine that has a smooth natural motion which comes from a whisper quiet drive system. With its combination of heavy flywheel and high gear ratio that’s not found on comparable models, this one creates an incredibly smooth feel with plenty of resistance at the top end.
The Esprit EL-3 features a dual action that utilizes the upper body during the exercise to create a total body workout. It has an optional heart rate chest strap for a hands-free pulse monitoring and also has heart rate interactive programs to guide you in your workout routine.
