You can use Alexa for hands-free interaction with the iFit NordicTrack
If you have a full workout regimen, then you’ve probably used a variety of different weights during a workout. For most people, it can be tedious manually adjusting the weights on adjustable dumbbell sets. This is where the iFit NordicTrack uses Alexa for the better. The NordicTrack dumbbells don’t resemble typical dumbbells you see all around. The actual weights on the dumbbells are flat slabs, and they fit into slots on the actual bar. They all sit in a large tray, and that tray will do all the work for you. You simply have to summon Alexa and say what weight you want the dumbbells set to. For this to work, you need to have a device that’s compatible with Alexa and you need the NordicTrack to be connected to Wi-Fi to work. If you don’t have any of those things, you can still manually adjust the weights.
So, what else does this device offer?
The actual 5lb slabs are squared off for better stability with ground-based workouts. That’s a good safety precaution, and another safety precaution is the knurled bars for a better grip. On the weight tray, there’s a dedicated tablet holder in case you want to watch a workout. You, obviously, want to know just how much weight you’re picking up, so the tray has a digital display that shows the current weight.
