Weslo Momentum 220 X Elliptical Trainer Review: A New Workout for a New Mom
I used to spend hours at the gym every night, working and slimming and sculpting. Then I had a baby, and everything changed. For the first time in my life, I found myself several sizes bigger than my skinny jeans, with almost no time to work out. Driving to the gym would waste a precious half hour each way – an hour total that I could be spending with my family. I needed home gym equipment, and I needed it fast. After reviewing several options online, I chose the Weslo Momentum 220 X.
Making Exercise Easier Through Technology
No Trainer? No Problem
When I used to take classes at the gym, I could rest assured that someone else was making sure I got the best and most effective workout possible, every time. Now that I’m exercising on my own, I want the same guarantee from my home gym equipment. Fortunately, I found a way to make that happen. Because the Weslo Momentum 220 X as four personal trainer-designed workouts, I can get trainer-certified results in the privacy of my living room, without having to leave my baby with a sitter or deal with crowded gym parking.
Weslo Momentum 220 X Monitors My Heart Rate So I Don’t Have To
As a new mom, I don’t have time to stop and count seconds on the clock to monitor my heart rate (honestly, I’m not sure I remember how), but I do want to make sure I’m getting the maximum cardiovascular benefit from my workout. Luckily, the Weslo Momentum 220 X has a heart rate monitor built right into the handle bars. That way, I can worry about getting in my workout before the baby wakes up, while my exercise equipment makes sure my workout counts for as many calories as safely possible.
It’s easy for me to personalize my workout on the Weslo 220 X because the digital resistance is fully adjustable at any point during my trainer-certified routine. Unlike many of the machines at my old gym, the Weslo’s unique blue screen is big and bright enough that I can actually read my stats (time, distance, calories burned and more) without having to stop exercising. Designed with cardio in mind, the oversized pedals allow me to concentrate on my workout, not my footing. I think this is one of the best ellipticals I ever had.
Weslo Momentum 220 X Gets Results Thanks to this the Weslo Momentum 220 X’s trainer-certified workouts, I am back into my pre-baby wardrobe and fitter than ever. Technically, my baby will be old enough for gym daycare in a couple of months, but I don’t think I’ll go back – I’d rather exercise at home and use our outings (and gym membership savings) to shop for more skinny jeans.
