    Default Elliptical Machines

    I'm looking into buying an elliptical machine.

    Can anyone here give me any input on which would be best?

    Go to consumerreports.com....

    There's a machine out there that really is like a ski-machine (so it's more of a front-back motion instead of raising and lowering...more flat-ish like skiing motion)---and-elliptical-and-step-climber machine in one. It looks like it's feet parts swinging in the air...you adjust it and it increases/decreases the incline of the foot things...it's a relatively new machine, i've seen it at some up-to-date-with-their-machines gym.
    So if you want to have a many-machines-in-one thing, go for that thing. So when you get tired of a type of motion, you can just switch. it'd help you make use of all the different muscles, so they don't get used to it.
    There's a stricly elliptical machine that has a screen option where you can select it to target your glues, glues+quads, glutes-quads-calves...or strictly lower calves...stuff like that, by changing in incline. That might be fun too...but I suggest the first one I mentioned.
    Maybe go to a gym, get a free pass, try out their ellipticals, and write down the make/model of one you like... And you want a machine that registers your age,weight, and how many calories per hour approxiamtely, that's always nice to know.
    There have to be sooooome forums out there on the internet that have peopel talking about good machines...

    A friend of mine owns a gym, and after looking at all the different models available, he chose cardio equiptment made by Precor. The initial price is more expensive than most machine, but it is a true comercial machine that will give you zero trouble, and will last a LONG time.

    I like the LifeCycle the best, it has a lot of settings and different courses on it. I reccommend keeping the resistance under 5 tho, otherwise you'll build bulky quads. Trust me on that.....

    Precor makes a good machine, but I prefer the more natural motion of an ArcTrainer.

    I going to buy one too. I think reccomendations depends on your price range. I'm just planning to go to Sears and try some out. But I also plan on only spending about $350. I've had some ellipticals reccomended to me but they were more around 2k-3k which is a little out of my price range.
