Teeter FreeStep Cross Trainer Overview
The Teeter FreeStep Cross Trainer features a virtually friction-free linkage system that ensures durability. Its 
recumbent seat is height adjustable with a supportive back which has three incline options.
The machine’s unique patented stepping action follows a smooth linear path. This movement will stabilize your backs and hips and prevent your knees from moving too far forward, making for stress-free workouts.
You can target your upper and lower body simultaneously, or work your lower body only. With the former, the effort will be evenly distributed throughout your upper and lower body. If desired, you can alternate the focus of the effort.
Lower body muscles worked include the glutes, the quads, the hamstrings, and the calves. By changing your grip and/or rotating the handlebars, you can target different upper body muscle groups, such as the triceps, biceps, chest, shoulders, and back.
If you haven’t exercised before, start with the lowest of the eight resistance level. As your fitness improves, turn the dial to increase the resistance. The highest levels of resistance will challenge even the fittest individual.
An easy-to-read digital LCD monitor tracks and displays workout metrics including your time, speed, distance covered, and the number of calories burned.
A tablet shelf provides access to an electronic device during workouts, and there’s an easy-to-reach water bottle holder.
Assembling the device is straightforward. All of the parts are clearly labeled, and the tools needed to complete the job are included. The manufacturer estimates that set-up takes 45 minutes, but some buyers found that it took considerably longer.
Transport wheels in the unit’s rear base allow for easy relocation of the Teeter FreeStep if this is required.
This model comes with a 1-year/90-day Limited warranty.
