    Default elliptical machine

    My husband wants to buy an elliptical machine to get in shape. This sounds liek a good idea, as I want him to get in shape and an elliptical machine is probably the only exercise machine I would ever possiby use myself. (The one time I ever went to a gym, it seemed like the least torturous of the devcies there.)

    Anybody got any suggestions on brands, etc.? Obviously, we want something that will work well, last a reasoable amount of time and require little maintenance. And lesss expensive is always a good thing!

    Thoughts or suggestions?

    I have an elliptical trainer at home...... I paid £120/ $230 approx. I never ever use mine in fact i plan on selling it...

    To be honest the real expensive ones are the best, i'm talking £450+ like the ones they use in the gyms. The probem with the cheaper ones i have found, is that the motion of the pedals are stiff and not as smooth as the expensive professional gym types.... also the home elliptical trainers are smaller than the ones that you get in the gym, so the way the pedals are positioned make it a very uncomfortable and i find this adds stress to the knees.

    Seraya.
