    How fast do most people go on the eliptical? Should i be going as fast as i can or just go at an easy pace?

    This really depends on what you're looking to achieve. Are you new to cardio or training for an event? When I use the elliptical I will turn up the resistance and try to keep my heart rate around 160-170. When I do shorter runs I try to run fast and hard; when I do long runs I try to pace myself at a comfortable speed.

    Just checked out the Bowflex...yikes on the price...but it looks cool!!!

    It is pricey, but I think it is worth it because, it is the best of both worlds. It only gets up to about 4 mph, but I can not run so that is fine, and so far the fastest I have been able to do is about 3.3.

    I got it and I saved money abd space over get both. I get a GREAT calorie burn in a shorter period of time than an elliptical, and I thought I could never enjoy anything more than the elliptical!
