About the number of calories displayed, note that the real calories burned depend on your weight. The display only gives you an estimate on how many calories you consume during workout.

Monitor your heart rate and turn on the fan, if you feel like it.

About the Random Generator, you need to press Increase/ Decrease next to Enter, select Workouts, press Enter and once again Increase/ Decrease until you reach Random Trail option.

After your selection is confirmed, the display will inform you on the name of the workout, maximum speed, maximum incline and a profile of the speed settings.

Monitor your progress and remember that the number of burned calories depends on your weight.

When finished, remove the key.

Stereo Sound System

Connect your audio player to the console. Make sure that the audio wire is fully plugged in. If you plead for a personal audio system, make sure you don’t put it on the console but on a flat surface.

Information Mode

The information mode holds information on the total distance of the walking belt and the number of hours that the incline trainer has been used. You can select either the kilometers or miles option in order to measure distance.

To change the unit of measurement, press the Speed increase button. For miles, select English. For kilometers, select Metric.

This mode also informs you on whether there is an accessory plugged in or not. Therefore, if you have you iFit LIVE MODULE connected, you will also be able to see the WIFI connection Status displayed.

Folding Option: NOT included

You can only move the treadmill, but it’s a heavy piece of equipment. Minimum 2 persons are required for this operation.

Conclusions

If you’re interested in hiking, the Nordictrack X5i Incline Trainer is what you need to properly train for your adventures. You need to get your lower body in good shape and this incline trainer is just the machine to do that.

This is not the best equipment choice if you want to run on it, but it’s highly efficient and smooth if you are a walker or a hiker.

The belt is a little short for running and the motor is not the best choice. This is why our running experience was poor and it’s not a machine we would recommend for this type of exercise.

We would also recommend buying the extra iFIT LIVE Module. Although it costs more for you to add, it provides the right professional guidance for efficient weight loss workouts. Because in the end this is a machine you can only use efficiently to lose weight.

The possibility of walking downhill and uphill (using decline and incline features) is definitely a powerful asset of this incline trainer as it makes workout much more efficient.

For us, it has definitely been a good equipment choice. Although it did come with small flaws- such as missing a cup trail. But considering the efficiency of this machine, it was a small detail that was subsequently taken care of.

Note that this is heavy machinery. It may be tough for one person only to engage in its assemblage. For us it was quite easy, but only due to that fact that we shared the burden.

We highly recommend the Nordictrack X5i Incline Trainer. It is definitely a great choice for only $1, 600! But, you must also see the next release in the series, X7 Incline Trainer. Its features are built for running, hiking and using the iFiT LIVE Module. Don’t miss this review.
