The budget elliptical trainer for home use from the Hop-Sport brand is a trainer with a magnetic load system that does not require a network connection to operate. The model is equipped with a special rotary lever for selecting the intensity of the workout: there are 8 levels for changing the position of the magnets and, accordingly, adjusting the effort for rotating the pedals.
The heart of the elliptical trainer is a 9-kilogram flywheel, which is located in the back of the body. Users of average weight can count on uniform movements without strong jerks, while the permissible loads are limited to 100 kg. The Hop-Sport HS-2050C Cosmo elliptical trainer has a relatively short step length of 30 cm, so it will be more convenient for people of average and short height to exercise here.
The distance between the pedals (Q-factor) is greater than the anatomically correct position and is 21.5 cm: this helps to increase the intensity of the workout, but can increase the load on the joints of the legs. The model is supplemented with a practical control panel that informs about the time, distance (per workout and for the entire time), pulse (there are heart rate sensors on separate fixed handles) and approximate calorie consumption. Separately, it is worth highlighting the relatively small weight of the exercise machine (28.5 kg), the presence of a stand for a tablet, large, non-slip platforms for the feet.
