The Smooth CE 3.2 Elliptical is the mid level Smooth elliptical machine and sits above the Smooth CE elliptical and below the Smooth CE 3.6 and Smooth CE 7.4 elliptical in the model lineup… (compare to similar model Sole E35 elliptical and Sole E95 ellipticals).

For starters, with the 431 you get 13 workout programs built-in to the unit with 16 computer controlled resistance levels. The other big appeal of the 431 is that it [...]

Most of [...]
