"Both an elliptical and a stationary bike, this is the best you can buy for the money. If you are used to an elliptical, this has a pretty short stride that takes some getting used to. I would also recommend putting this on a rug or a mat so you don't leave indents in your carpet. I put it in front of my couch and use the bike function while watching TV."
"A good set of resistance bands can replace the need for heavy weights. They are also great for trips, since they can fit in any luggage. These come with a door anchor, which means you can use it to work muscles similar to doing a pull-up."
"A yoga mat is a great buy for a few reasons. The first is, if you are going to consistently work out at home, you risk damaging your carpet, so the mat protects that. The second reason I recommend a thick foam mat is to protect your feet, ankles, and particularly knees from impact."
