Your knee joints are protected by the ProForm XP 130 Elliptical's frictionless operation, trademarked with the name Silent Magnetic Resistance, or SMR.

Due to the super-smooth movements you'll achieve from this compact but durable elliptical, there will be less risk of knee or ankle injuries.

To be able to determine the intensity at which you should exercise, the ProForm XP 130 Elliptical provides you with a heart rate monitor via a sensor on the handlebars.

With it, you'll be able to alter your exercise routines according to intensity you want, and adjust resistance whenever you want a little more challenge. You'll not only work toward your targeted weight; you can also complement the weight loss program with strength training and muscle building. For more intense workouts, however, the ProForm XP 130 Elliptical may not be the best option, as it is merely a mid-range trainer.
