Starting some research on eliptical trainers

Edited on Sun Jul-24-05 03:14 PM by Tripper11

I really love the workout these things give you. It's not as hard on the joints as a treadmill(age catching up and all :P), and more of an overall workout than a excercise bike.
Does anyone have one of these at home? Which type? How much? And what about smoothness vs. chopiness vs. prices?

Any help as I head into this venture would be appreciated. From initial readin it looks like it will be at least $1,000+ unless someone here has something better?

...when I go. :P

Precor is the best, but they are pricey. But, they're made for heavy use.

3. I'm partial to the Life Fitness 9500 models myself, found at many gyms.

But they are pricey to buy. I think you can get it closer to 2K for used ones online though.
