Product review:

About the Resistance
The NordicTrack E5 Si elliptical trainer uses Magnetic Resistance for up to 16 levels of resistance that can be changed by the touch of a button.  The different levels of resistance help to build muscle strength and stamina over the workout.


About the Stride Length

The Horizon EX-77 elliptical trainer comes with a variable 18" to 19" stride length.  Keep in mind that the 18" to 19" stride length will accommodate those that are average height and under but may be too short for taller users.  Anyone over 6 feet in height will need to look at a longer stride length that starts around 20" and up.


About the Workout Programs
The Horizon EX77 elliptical trainer comes with 13 built-in workout programs.  The programs include 12 goal related programs (Time, Distance, Calories, etc) and 2 custom program.
 



About the MP3 Port
For those that prefer to workout without a headset Horizon EX-77 comes with a built-in MP3 player music port.  The console also includes a headphone output for those that wish to play their MP3 player through the elliptical trainer.


Warranty Information
Horizon Fitness offers a lifetime warranty on the frame and the brake with a one year warranty for parts and labor.


Conclusion
The Horizon EX77 is an upgrade model for the Horizon EX-67 elliptical trainer.  Some of the improvements over the EX-67 model include a variable stride length that ranges from 18 to 19 inches, a maximum supported user weight up to 300 pounds and one additional custom workout program.  The power incline feature is also an additional plus and adds to the overall attractiveness of this model.  The power incline will increase the intensity of the workout. 

Like the Horizon EX-67 model the EX-77 also has received a number of very positive reviews.  Most of the positive reviews that we have seen comment on the sturdiness and smoothness of the elliptical trainer.  We have also read reviews where the customers felt that the EX-77 provided a good quality machine for the under $1,000 price range.

The EX-77 is still considered a budget machine is and is not going to rival the quality and durability of a mid to high-end model.  Also the maximum stride length of 19 inches is good those that are around average height but anyone that is 6 feet or taller will be better off with a stride length that is at least 20 inches and above.  As with the EX-67 model, the  NordicTrack AudioStrider 990 or the Sole E25 Elliptical  would be the more recommended buy over the Horizon EX-77.
