I'm looking to get an elliptical in December...I would love to hear from anyone on this, too.

That makes three of us! There's an ad for an eliptical in Sunday's paper at Sport's Authority - I'll check it out tomorrow.

I can only dream of owning an Elliptical Stepper or Crosstrainer. The ones (at my gym) that I use are LifeFitness. I have had zero problems with them. Very challenging, different levels of difficulty, routines, compatible with Polar Heart Rate Monitors, etc.

I have an elliptical machine and a treadmill. Since buying the elliptical, I never use the treadmill. It's so much better on the joints. I have a NordicTrack CX 938. It's okay..... It has 10 preset programs that are good, but it doesn't let you save any customized programs. That's a big downside for me, but for some that might not matter.

I don't really know which ellipticals are good, but I use a Cybex Arc Crosstrainer everyday for an hour when I'm at the gym. It's really easy on the knees and I find it burns a lot of calories. There are many different program settings to choose from as well.

I own a Proform treadmill. My mom owns a Proform treadmill and elliptical. My mom loves her elliptical. I think you should go to their site, www.proform.com, and take a look. Their prices range and I think you can find the one for you. You can set up a payment plan. They only deliver door to door so keep that in mind. Me and mom are picky and we have no problems with our equipment. What I do say is don't go cheap. I paid $699 for mine but it was on sale. I think the original price was $899 or $999. I think as close to gym quality as you can get is the best bet. You get a better deal than in the store because it is direct from the manufacturer.

What's the difference between and elliptical, and a cross trainer?

[Jayden]

Okay so we bought an elliptical! And it was a decent price of $300...I love it except for the computer...On one hand I havn't played with the computer yet so it's a bit early to judge but on the other the few seconds while building my machine that I had the batteries in, I was a bit confused...We'll see how it all works starting tomorrow! Goodbye calories, hello sexy Jayden!

Oh do I envy you...

Have fun! That machine will whip you into shape. I know I began seeing results when I started doing cardio on one of those.
