M is for ... Maximum Calorie Burn, Minimum Time Consumption
It seems as though life has become a race, you don't stop until your head literally hits the pillow at a ridiculous hour, only to be woken up a few hours later by an email from your boss at an hour which only tweeting birds should be awake at...not twitter birds, actual birds.
You drag yourself out of bed, clean yourself up, make yourself presentable for the day, grab a Starbucks and hit the ground running. You already have 59 emails in your inbox, of which you only get through 17 of them before you're into the drawing room. By the end of the day you know you need to hit the gym to keep yourself trim and on form mentally. Once you've totted up what time you'll actually get home, eat dinner and finish replying to the tsunami of emails that just keep on crashing into your inbox, it's about 10:30pm.
Technogym know what your life is like, the sports equipment giant also know that trying to do anything on your smartphone while you're training at the gym is nigh impossible with sticky fingertips and your head bobbing from side to side. The 10:30pm rest time you had in your head is dramatically reduced with the 'Cross Personal.'
It is surprising that it is has taken until 2012 for a cross-trainer to have integrated web connectivity. But there's no time like the present, and for Technogym, that time is now. The first of its kind, the cross trainer boasts a touchscreen, enabling the user to access emails, social networks, websites and online training programmes, naturally. Performance is not compromised by it's technological addition, with 25 levels of difficulty for the novice and the athlete. The Cross Personal takes pride in it's aesthetics, and it most certainly is entitled to. With the aid of Antonio Citterio, a cross-trainer has never looked so sleek and exercise has never been more appealing.
Technogym have certainly exceeded their Personal Best.
