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. Additionally, 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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good value workout machine, some minor issues, June 29, 2009

This is good choice if you don't have the money for the more expensive machines. I've had this for about 3 months now, and I use it almost every day and I'm getting into good shape.

The first issue I had with this is I noticed right out of the box that the cover had a crack and was peeling, so I crazy glued it all down. The second issue I had was that they gave me the wrong sized bolt for the stabilizer, so I went to the hardware store and bought a longer one. The third issue I had was when I started using it, the pedal arm kept unscrewing itself off and I had to constantly tighten it back down. I think I resolved that one now by tightening it basically until my arm hurt. Another issue I have is some minor squeaks now and then.

Don't let these small issues scare you away from purchasing this item though. If you go in not expecting the highest quality but wanting a sturdy workout machine and willing to fix some minor issues yourself, then you won't go wrong with this. For the price I think it's about the best you can do for a new machine online.

4.0 out of 5 stars So far so good, February 5, 2009

So far I love my stamina. It takes two people to put it together and don't lose any screws, because there are no extras, but, other than that it's been great. It really is very quiet so I can listen to music or watch TV without having to blare it. I've had it for three weeks and I can already feel my muscles and heart getting stronger.

This item arrived with a cracked motor body, however, it did not interfere with the functioning of the machine. The assembly took 2 evenings but instructions were fair. The machine initially worked fairly well. As time went on, it became noisier and noisier, and as I tracked down one squeak and tightened that bolt, another area would take over squeaking. A couple of months ago, I received a notice on it that it was dangerous to continue use, but only included instructions on how I should rebuild it to make it safer, no parts or recall. Now, the shaft that holds on a foot pedal has stripped out, and it is non-functional. This is a part that was factory pre-assembled. Of course, warranty is out, so I have contacted the manafacturer. Will see if I can get this thing working again. I have only used the machine lightly, so it should have lasted longer than the 9 months I have owned.
