NordicTrack

About 20 years ago, NordicTrack was introduced to the North American public. This exercise machine allowed you to work out to the smooth feel of cross-country skiing with all of the calorie-burning benefits of a total body exercise. Over the past 20 years, the NordicTrack line expanded into a wide variety of skier models for fitness enthusiasts at every level. The success of NordicTrack's low-impact exercise machines led to the introduction of a new line of elliptical machines.

In the late 1990s, NordicTrack began to expand into other lines of home fitness equipment including its well known and popular line of treadmills. The company also deals in yoga and Pilates programs, nutrition supplements, strength machines, exercise bikes, steppers, jogging strollers, apparel and more. Today, the NordicTrack Company is a subsidiary of ICON Health & Fitness, and has expanded its catalogue into retail store outlets and the internet. The company also has operations in Italy, the United Kingdom, France/Belgium and Germany.

Even though the company produces other fitness equipment, its skiers are still among its most popular products. The NordicTrack Classic Pro Skier, which sells for about $600, offers the calorie-burning, total-body workout of NordicTrack's original Classic Pro Skier. This machine is designed to help you tone muscles, burn calories and improve your cardiovascular fitness. The skier adjusts to 7 resistance levels for your arms and legs. The electronic display windows keep tabs on the time, distance traveled, calories burned and your heart rate. The NordicTrack skier warranty covers parts and labor for a year, but extended warranties are also available.

You can buy NordicTrack products through their website and you can also register them online.
