About Elliptical Trainers
Elliptical trainers represent the next wave of advancement in low-impact cardiovascular exercise machines and continue to grow in popularity. By simulating motions experienced through walking, stepping, cycling, and skiing, elliptical machines allow for a smooth and fluid motion while building strength in the arms and legs. Similar to the exercise position for treadmills, elliptical trainers are used by standing in an upright position while holding the handrails of the machine. With elliptical trainers, however, your feet remain in the foot pedals throughout the exercise regimen and circulate in a smooth and seamless motion, resulting in little to no impact on the knees, back, and hips.

Elliptical trainers are compatible for all ages and fitness levels and allow you to select the difficulty level through the incline and intensity settings. In addition, elliptical trainers allow you to determine the complexity of your workout based on your needs, all while listening to music, watching television, or reading a magazine while exercising in the comfort and safety of your own home.

Although different types of elliptical trainers offer an assortment of features, many of them include an array of challenging programs, forward and reverse directional movement, EKG grip pulse handles, a lightweight portable design with easy fold-up capability, and a monitor displaying calories burned, distance, speed, time, and heart rate. Other types of exercise machines, namely treadmills and bikes, offer excellent cardiovascular exercise and muscular training for the legs in a forward-motion exercise. Elliptical trainers take this to the next level by offering an upper and lower body workout with dual motion, challenging and diverse programs, and a low-impact exercise machine that won't strain sensitive joints.

The wife and I have been looking to purchase an affordable elliptical for about 1 month. We went to several mass merchants and sporting good stores and tried several brands. For the price we decided on this Horizon EX-22. Granted it does not have all the extra goodies but for our needs it is perfect. The machine operates smoothly and seems quite well built. I weigh 250lbs and the machine does not rock or feel unsteady at all. We really liked the Schwinn model but it cost almost twice as much. The item came damaged and Amazon was great to deal with and had our replacement in 2 weeks. The machine was real easy to put together because the instructions were easy and the parts were packaged by each step. It even came with all the tools needed to assemble. We are pleased with this machine.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Good Value, March 3, 2006

I was originally looking around at the "health club models" like Precor, but came to realize that I wasn't going to spend 50 hours per week on my elliptical, so after reading up a bit, went with the Horizon EX22.

For those looking for tons of options, this probably isn't the machine for you (maybe the 33 or 44 would be better), but I'm just looking to do one or two different programs for 30 minutes about 3 times per week. For the price, probably not a better value out there.

I was hesitant ordering an elliptical online. I had tried so many at the stores and found the front drive to be the best fit and range of motion for myself. I am very pleased with this horizen model! It went together very quickly and is a solid machine. The first few times I felt my arms were short for the handles in motion but now have gotten used to it and get a GREAT workout. I encourage anyone who is considering this model to go for it. You will not be dissappointed!!!
