    AAhh! The Arc Trainer is my favorite cardio machine! It is similar to an elliptical machine, but has a gliding "arc" shaped path, meaning your legs swing back and forth smoothly instead of an elliptical oblong shape. I find the Arc Trainer is MUCH easier on my knees than an elliptical, but still gives a fantastic lower body workout, really works the butt, calves, thighs, etc. without hurting my joints.

    Give it a try, but make sure you have water and a towel..you WILL sweat! :)

    My fave too.....I think its kind of a mixture of an elliptical and stairstepper.....burns crazy calories and is tough!

    I call it the "Russian Squat Dancing Machine," but my husband argues it's more of a Nazi Goosestep. Either way, it's evil. And a really good workout.

    I just saw this on The Biggest Loser UK... it looks like a great machine!

    What do I need to do to convince my Gym to get one? :laugh: I love the Elliptical, but this looks awesome!!!
