Re: Home Exercise Equipment?
Hey Sandi-
I have to echo what mtbcoach says about buying a commercial grade unit. Most home use machines are built banking on limited use. If you buy a quality commercial grade unit-you will get your moneys worth (provided you use it).
I teach Health & PE and we just installed a 5000 square foot fitness center in our HS. The ellipticals are a popular machine. I'm not so good w/personal advice because I swear I have exercise induced ADHD...I don't do well on machines-I'm a runner/swimmer.
Elliptical machines are def lower impact than treadmills, but it's really personal preference. Which do you like better and which are you more apt to use? You may also want to check out BowFlex adjustable dumbells for some resistance training to go along w/your new cardio equipment. They don't take up a lot of space and you can adjust them (with just a click) to weigh either 2.5, 5, 7.5, 10, 12.5, 15, 17.5, or 20 lbs.
