NordicTrack's first exercise machine was the NordicTrack Skier. It works by using the motion of cross-country skiing with moving skis to work the lower body and arm cords to work the upper body. The NordicTrack Skier has no capacity to add accessories to the machine directly, but NordicTrack provides some accessories you can use with the machine.
Types of Accessories
To track your heart rate if the included pulse monitor breaks or doesn't work as you wish, NordicTrack offers a few different models of heart rate monitor watches. NordicTrack also has an exercise equipment floor mat available for purchase. To increase the intensity of your workout NordicTrack sells a weighted vest, ankle weights ranging in weights from 4 to 10 lb. ankle weights and 2 to 6 lb. wrist weights.
Using Accessories
Wear the hands-free heart rate monitor watches throughout your workout to provide your heart rate on demand as well as the time, date and day. Some models include a calorie counter, target zone alarm and total fat burn. Place the exercise equipment mat beneath your NordicTrack Skier to protect your floor from scratches, add shock absorption and reduce noise and vibration. Wear the weighted accessories over your chest, wrists or ankles while using the skier to build muscles and endurance.
How to Purchase
Find NordicTrack accessories through online or local fitness retailers, specifically those which sell NordicTrack products. NordicTrack accessories are also available on its website. Contact NordicTrack's sales department at 888-308-9616 to inquire about specific Skier accessories.
Warnings
When using an accessory, make sure it does not interfere with the safe operation of your skier. Accessories, such as the ankle weights, worn near the skis should not catch on the ski or affect its operation. If you wear accessories on your upper body, they should not catch on the arm cords or affect their operation.
