Let’s continue with the Body Solid E400 review to learn more about what this elliptical has to offer as the perfect elliptical for your home gym.

Body Solid E400 Monitor

The Body Solid E400 comes with a 2-window, 10 by 14 inches, color LED display that’s very user-friendly because it features functional buttons and program controls. There’s a message window on the display which will show you messages, time, distance, speed, calories, pulse, stride per minute, calorie per hour, resistance level, and the name of the workout programs. The Body Solid E400 allows users to set up two user profiles and the profile window will display your program profile, tension bar, heart rate bar, lap progress display, and lap counter.

Another great thing about the Body Solid E400 offers a ton of workout programs. It comes with 6 preset programs, including Mountain, Hill, Random, Interval, Interval Mountain, and Interval Speed Training. There are also 5 heart rate control programs you can take advantage of. The Body Solid E400 heart rate control programs are designed to change the resistance level automatically so your heart rate can stay at a predetermined level. The Body Solid E400 also features a manual mode so you can customize your workout.

Of course, the Body Solid E400 is heart rate compatible and it comes with a chest strap to measure your heart rate. There are also pulse sensors on the stationary handlebars so you can use that if you don’t like the chest strap. Unfortunately, the Body Solid E400 doesn’t feature Bluetooth, so you won’t be able to use fitness apps or export your data. There’s also no charging port on the Body Solid E400, which is something to keep in mind.

Body Solid E400 Stride and Incline

The Body Solid E400 features an adjustable stride that ranges from 17 inches to 23 inches, which means it will fit users of all sizes. The stride is super easy to adjust, so everyone will be able to do it without any trouble at all. The stride on the Body Solid E400 is easily one of the best features it has to offer because it allows all users not only the perfect fit, but also comfort and safety during their workouts. The Body Solid E400 is fully adjustable, not only when it comes to stride, but also when it comes to resistance levels. Users will be able to fully adjust their experience.

It’s important to keep in mind that the stride on the Body Solid E400 is not electronically adjustable, so it won’t automatically adjust to whatever workout program you choose. You’ll have to adjust it yourself, but it’s super easy, so this is not a deal-breaker. The Body Solid E400 doesn’t have an incline. In fact, Body Solid elliptical machines often lack an incline, which is what allows users to replicate hill climbing and add another layer of challenge to their workout.

However, that doesn’t mean the Body Solid E400 elliptical trainer is not a challenging machine! As discussed before, the Body Solid E400 provides many workout programs and they will all help you burn calories and tone your muscles. They’re all challenging enough for users of different fitness levels. Plus, the Body Solid E400 resistance provides 12 different levels so you can adjust the challenge of your workout!

Body Solid E400 Handlebars and Pedals

The Body Solid E400 features two sets of handlebars; it comes with moving handlebars to engage your upper body and stationary handlebars. The moving handlebars on the Body Solid E400 are not multi-grip, so you won’t be able to try different positions to target different upper body muscles. Even so, you’ll still engage your upper body for a full-body workout and you will feel the burn all over. The moving handlebars are comfortable and they are also rubberized for your safety.

The stationary handlebars on the Body Solid E400 are right in front of you and they will allow you to stay comfortable during your workouts when you don’t want to engage your upper body. The Body Solid E400 stationary handlebars also feature pulse sensors, so when you use them, they will read your heart rate and you’ll be able to keep track of it on the console. This is a great second option to have for people who don’t enjoy wearing the wireless chest strap that comes with the machine.

The Body Solid E400 features pedals with a lower step-up height so you can comfortably get on the elliptical. The pedals are designed to prevent strain on your knees so you don’t get any aches and pains. This will make for a more enjoyable user experience. The Body Solid E400 also features close pedal spacing, which will reduce hip fatigue. This will allow you to work out for longer because it provides more comfort. Overall, the Body Solid E400 features great handlebars and pedals that contribute greatly to user comfort.

Body Solid E400 Accessories and Assembly

Usually, they feature a tablet holder, a charging port, Bluetooth, and some of them feature cooling fans, speakers, and other accessories to add to the user experience. However, this elliptical is different. The Body Solid E400 is focused mainly on what you can get out of it as a trainee. It features all the workout programs you can want and 20 resistance levels for a greater challenge. The Body Solid E400 does come with a water bottle holder so you can keep yourself hydrated.
