The Livestrong LS13.0E Elliptical Machine -
One of the Best Units Under $1300
The smooth and fluid motion of the Livestrong LS13.0E elliptical
machine is the result of upgrades including a 30-lb flywheel and the patented SIXstar technology to deliver the best elliptical performance you will find for
under $1,300.
Six Areas Dedicated to a Better Workout
In the SIXstar Certified™ technology designed into the frame, you get the best
biomechanically engineered elliptical trainers that Johnson Tech has ever
designed. The key features of the Livestrong LS13.0E elliptical machine include:
The IDEALfit™ handlebars that are closer to the individual in order to maintain
a comfortable stance while the hands are on the moving arms. This positioning
also works with the StraightUP™ alignment for keeping the body posture erect to
eliminate back strain.
When in motion, the ZEROgap™ feature places the pedals closer together (actually
over-lapping) for a Q-factor rating of zero. This helps to eliminate stress on
the hips and back.
In addition, the long 20” Stride Length and the FLATellipse™ motion better mimic
a flatter running or walking gait.

Another feature of the SIXstar frame is the SMOOTHpulley™ that combines a 30-lb
flywheel and an optimal gear pulley ratio to deliver a smooth and more efficient
motion.
Lastly, the SUREstep™ feature is a low “step-up” height for easy mounting and
dismounting.
A Great List of Features
The Livestrong LS13.0E elliptical machine features a 20-level power incline ramp
to train different muscle groups. When you set the ramp at the lower incline
settings, the muscles targeted are the calves, thighs, and hamstrings; set the
incline to mid-height to simulate hills and work the quadriceps and the glutes;
and go to the highest incline levels to simulate stair climbing and target quads
and glutes for maximum toning.
Other features on this 214-lb elliptical trainer include a 350-lb user capacity,
20 resistance levels, 12 training programs, contact heart rate grips, both an
LCD and separate LED windows, a CoolFit™ fitness fan, iPod/MP3 compatibility,
and built-in speakers.

An exciting upgraded feature added in 2010 is the new arched MaxTone™ Arch Pedal
that replicates the toning trend developed by leading footwear companies like
Sketchers and Reebok.
You also get a USB device (included) to plug into the console and record your
workout. You can then connect the flash drive to your PC and upload data to a
personal account at Livestrong.com. In addition to tracking your workout
history, you can download free workouts, get training tips, and much more.
Equal to Leading Competitors
Reviews on the LS13.0E by consumers are very favorable and come with high
recommendations, although equipment experts still tend to prefer the comparably
priced Sole E55 and the Smooth CE 3.6 to this one. All three models are
extremely smooth, and have similar features, so it will come down to aesthetics
and personal preferences when you make your final selection.
At $1,299, the Livestrong LS13.0E includes Free Shipping with Inside Delivery,
and comes backed by a strong warranty of 5 years on parts, and 2 years of
in-home service. In addition, when you buy a Livestrong, the company makes a
contribution to the Lance Armstrong Foundation to help fight cancer. The
Livestrong LS13.0E elliptical machine is a strong contender along side the
Smooth, Sole, and Yowza machines.
