I really want an Elliptical...

sgsnow79

So, while I have a gym membership, I reaaaally want an elliptical machine at home.

I have this vision of getting up early each morning and getting a workout in while still be accessible if there is a toddler emergency!

Has anyone found that having home exercise equipment was extremely helpful? Or did it just become the laundry sorter/ stuff holder/etc?

I'd love to hear people's advice on the topic...

Thanks!

Have an eliptical, sitting waiting for me, I hurt my knee and I am not allowed to use it, but my hubbby gets use out of it!

We have a treadmill and my wife uses it now more than she thought she would when we bought it.

I use it about as much... which is to say not much at all.

I would suggest that you go used. Try play it again sports or good old Craig's list. You can find great deals, and save the guilt if you don't get on it as often as you would like.

I've had an orbitrek elliptical machine for the last year. I use it everyday! I love it, just set it up in front of the television and put in a movie and go to town!

I find it extremely helpful! Its great to jump on it for a quick 20 min before work or go hard with extra resistance at night while catching up with my soaps!! lol. I agree with just2bfit used is better, I got mine off of criagslist for $150 (and it retail for $500!!) the girl said she only used it once and its been collecting dust. I've had it for about a year and its still great and quiet!!!
