    Do some research and try craigslist for the classifieds? Some people bearly use them. They take up a lot of room and then people want to get rid of them.

    What she said.... I use a long stride (25) and I'm only 5'5". It makes me feel like I'm actually exercising and not running in place. Most decent ellipticals will have a stride range of 15 - 26.... You can adjust to your comfort level.
