Take your cross trainer workout to the next level with the right accessories
To get the most out of your cross trainer workout, you need the right accessories from the outset. High-quality equipment boosts training performance, enhances comfort and motivation and improves safety. Whether it’s heart rate monitoring, floor protection or training apps, the right accessories will help you get the most out of every workout. Read on to find out which accessories we recommend for improving your cross trainer workouts.
Precise heart rate monitoring for greater efficiency – our recommended chest strap
cardiostrong Smart Chest Strap
The Cardiostrong Smart Chest Strap is an essential tool for anyone looking to closely monitor their heart rate. Compatible with all standard devices that support wireless data transmission (such as via ANT+), the strap can easily be connected to your cross trainer or smartphone. Accurate heart rate monitoring enables you to work out at the optimal intensity, manage your progress properly and avoid overtraining or ineffective training. The elastic chest strap is comfortable to wear, fits securely and won´t get in the way during training. With the Cardiostrong Smart chest strap you can track your training progress and adapt your routine to meet your specific goals, whether you want to burn fat, improve your endurance or boost your heart health.
Protective mats – protect your floors and reduce noise
Taurus Protective Mat
Our Taurus Protective Mat helps you to create a stable and safe training environment. The mat protects your floors from scratches, marks and sweat. It also helps to dampen noise, making it ideal for flats where consideration for neighbours or roommates is required. The large surface area provides cross trainers with stable footing and prevents slipping during intense training sessions. The non-slip underside adds an extra layer of safety. This means you can train with complete peace of mind. Training safely not only protects your health, but also delivers better results in the long term and boosts your performance. The Taurus Protective Mat is available in several sizes. In our online shop, you will find size recommendations for each cross trainer listed at the bottom of the product page.
Silicone spray – maintainance and protection
cardiostrong Silicone Spray
Regular maintenance is essential for extending the lifespan of your fitness equipment. Cardiostrong silicone spray reliably lubricates the moving parts of your cross trainer. It reduces friction, protects against corrosion and prevents wear and tear effectively. It is particularly recommended for use on cross trainers with movable handles or adjustable foot pedals. The colourless, odourless spray can be dispensed with precision. Using it regularly will ensure quiet, smooth operation and extend your machine's service life.
Interactive training with a real-life experience
Kinomap training application
Endurance training should be anything but monotonous. The Kinomap training app turns your cross trainer workout into an interactive, realistic experience. Thanks to real-life training videos featuring running tracks from all over the world, it's as if you're actually there: go for a jog through Central Park, run along the Californian coast or explore the narrow streets of historic European city centres – all from the comfort of your own home. The multiplayer mode provides even more motivation: challenge other athletes from the global Kinomap community and test your skills in exciting races and competitions. As well as taking part in the many official Kinomap challenges, you can create your own multiplayer sessions and set goals with friends and family. The app is compatible with a wide range of fitness machines and is easy to use on a smartphone or tablet.
