Elliptical exercise machines are quickly catching up to treadmills as one of the most popular pieces of home fitness equipment. If you haven’t seen one so far, just visit your local sporting goods store and take a look for yourself. Generally, they are odd looking machines that are a combination of a stair stepper and a ski machine. But since they are fairly new to the home exercise field, a lot of people aren’t sure what to look for when they shop for one. So let’s discuss some of the features of elliptical trainers that you need to be looking for.
First and foremost, you really should try it out yourself before you make any decisions. Try a wide variety of models made by different manufacturers, and see what seems to fit you best as you go. There is really no substitute for actually using the machines yourself to see what features are most important to you.
With that in mind, you also should make sure that the elliptical machine seems very stable and solid. You don’t want any herky jerky motions while you’re working out. Everything should be smooth and quiet. This will usually not only provide you with a better workout, but is often an indication of the quality of the machine itself and how long you can expect it to last.
Pay attention to the display of each machine as you test them. From one machine to another the display can be completely different. So make sure that your favorite machine has the display that you want. Most of them will show your speed, your time and distance. But there may be other useful information that you want as well, for instance, calories burned, or heart rate. Also, the display should be easy to read even while you are in the middle of your exercise.
The handlebars on an elliptical trainer are an important consideration as well. Because they usually go back and forth, they can actually get in the way or even hit you if they are not well designed. So make sure that they are comfortable and easy-to-use.
A very popular feature on the new elliptical trainers is the exercise program built into the trainer. This will allow you to adjust your workout as you go. It’s good to be able to both set up the program before you begin, and also allow you the freedom to manually adjust your work out while it is in progress. So look for elliptical machines that let you do both.
Size is always a consideration with an exercise machine that is this large. So before you buy anything make sure that you have measured out the room where you intend for it to go well in advance, and know that it will fit there.
These are just a few suggestions that can help you as you are shopping for an elliptical exercise machine. And hopefully, they will help you find the elliptical trainer that will best fit your needs.

Cycling improves your cardiovascular health, boosts the functioning of the heart and blood vessels, and decreases your risk of heart disease. Now you can enjoy all the benefits of cycling without spending a ton of money with the affordable InStride XL cycle from Stamina Products. Unlike most exercise bikes, the InStride XL cycle doesn’t come with a seat. Instead, you sit in a standard dining room chair or lie on the floor, then insert your feet into the sturdy rubber straps. Once you’re in, you can pedal in forward or reverse motion, with an adjustable tension knob that lets you vary your intensity and an electronic monitor that times your workouts. As an alternative, you can even rest the InStride XL on a table and pedal with your hands to experience a full-range upper body workout.
Improving your cardiovascular health isn’t the only benefit of cycling, of course. It also increases HDL (good cholesterol), reduces the amount of triglycerides in the blood, and helps lower blood pressure. And thanks to the dual-use pedals, you can improve your muscle strength in your legs, arms, shoulders, and back, depending on the configuration you choose. Other cycling benefits include increased flexibility without stressing the joints, improved digestion, better lung function, and a higher metabolism.
The InStride XL cycle, which includes non-slip rubber feet, measures 19 by 12.25 by 15.25 inches (W x H x D) and weighs 9 pounds.

This DVD includes three highly effective fat-burning and toning routines featuring Jackie’s one-on-one training technique that delivers results! There are three 20-minute workouts included focusing on Upper Body Lower Body and Core/Abs respectively.

Fans of the deliciously soapy Bravo reality series Work Out may need to be reminded just how fine a personal trainer Jackie Warner is. This disc is that reminder, containing a fast-paced and comprehensive fitness routine that ranks among the very best. Warner is personable as she trains–and she doesn’t stint on doing the moves herself. She’s designed the workout in three chunks, upper body, lower body, and core/abs, which can be done separately or combined for a full hour heavy-duty routine. Because there’s little rest between moves, the whole workout seems to fly by, but there’s no denying its overall intensity. Warner combines tried-and-true moves (crunches, squats) with some new twists (just try to do that “butterfly” crunch and not feel it deeply the next day). And she’s upbeat without being perky–though a viewer could be forgiven for grousing when Warner chirps “I could do these all day!” during Sumo squats. She also gives great attention to form, often working with one other trainer so it feels as though the viewer is getting a one-on-one session too. There are modifications for both beginning and advanced exercisers, so there’s no excuse not to jump in. The hour will be over before you know it. — A.T. Hurley
