I like those! They remind me of those ski glider machines. Nordictrack? My favorite machine is the $7000 (ha ha, way out of my budget) Procor elliptical, but this would be my 2nd favorite. Nice color.

Get some fans.
I have a used Epic elliptical that obnoxiously beeps at me if I have to jump off for a second and attend to the oven timer going off.
It was a little under $2000 USD.Oooooff. That looks expensive. We have these at the gym, in all sorta shapes and sizes and theyre awesome! If I had enough energy I'd totally be on one but I have to sit bc I get fainty. What did this f***er cost?
Jesus christ, man! 2 geez..It was a little under $2000 USD.
Monthly payments for 12 months which is affordable on my end, that’s why I bit down and bought it.
It’s not good to jack up your heart rate too often. But hiit twice a week is fine.i dont think exercises that jack up your heart rate are all that good for you.
resistance training is fine.
JMO.
Hey, just out of curiosity, do you have any good resources or advice for those looking to lose fat and gain muscle? Not too much muscle, but I don't want to be "average fat" or "skinny fat" and, well, I am. Not looking to be 20% or less body fat, not that there's anything wrong with that and I admire those who are, but would like to go down a little bit. Plus, reasonably fit people are often happier. It's a good thing.It’s not good to jack up your heart rate too often. But hiit twice a week is fine.
The heart, like any muscle does need a rest from high bpm’s and can become overworked. It’s all about finding balance.
I’m a fan of both cardio and weight training. As I get older, I listen to my body more if I’m achey, fatigued etc

Thanks. Getting more rest is something I need to do. Have noticed that with increased workouts I need more rest.https://www.t-nation.com/diet-fat-loss/the-7-simple-muscle-building-habits
This should give you a general direction.
1-5 reps = strength
6-12 reps = hypertrophy/bulk/muscle building
12+ reps is endurance and basically the weight is too light.
Generally, people respond well to a 6-12 rep routine with 3 to 4 sets, about 3 minute rest between sets. Be careful not to push too hard as most hypertrophy routines are high volume which will build endurance but can and will probably fatigue you by week 3 or 4. But after that if nutrition, rest and all the habits away from the gym are healthy, you’ll see results.

Yeah the arc trainer is pretty versatile. I have no problem with cardio either. I still train similar to my sport days, studying a bit kinesiology and health sciences in college, seeing my pops develop diabetes and having a kid made me more aware and motivated to take my health serious.Also got some inspiration from these videos:
Everyone looks incredible at the end in this video, plus I would like Claire's cookbook. The healthy food she makes looks great.
I tend to love cardio so doing cardio is no problem.
Btw, had no idea that the Arc trainer could be adjusted to do so much. That's a good buy!
Rest and calories. If you can take in quality calories.Thanks. Getting more rest is something I need to do. Have noticed that with increased workouts I need more rest.
