elliptical trainers

[katzrkool]

I am looking for something to do a day or two a week in between my Cathe work outs and am thinking of an elliptical trainer. Does anyone have one and can you recommend a certain model that would stand up to a "Cathe intensity" workout.

I use a Precor at the gym and I love it. I wish I had one at home. I use it with the Cardio Coach workouts and it is great to alternate with your Cathe's.

I have a life fitness elliptical at home. I LOVE IT!!!! It really helps to crosstrain and there is no impact. I love it even more than my treadmill

Hi,

I have an Octane 37ce and love it. I also do the programs it has along with Cardio Coach and Love it! Quite the workout if done right and great calorie burn!

I have a Nordic Track SpaceSaver Elliptical trainer and love it! I use iClimbs from iTrain and think those workouts are great...

I recently bought a Nordic Track SpaceSaver like Carole's -- love it! Two thumbs up for the iClimbs as well.

I had asked this exact same question just before Christmas. We wound up getting the Horizon E700 (which was reccomended) and we LOVE it. Both my husband and I are very tall and we needed one with a longer stride length (this one has an 18 inch stide length). You will definately want to go to a store and try them all out. Depending on your leg length, some will feel really choppy while others will just feel natural. I think we tried out at least 10 or so before we purchased one. We wound up getting ours at Dicks Sporting Goods because they were running a great sale at that time.

Good Luck in your search!

I have a Proform XP130 from Sears. It handles Cardio Coach and Cathe-intensity workouts with no problem, and it was very affordable. I love the elliptical because it gives a kick-butt workout without any impact- a very nice break for the joints every so often.

I also have a Horizon and love it. It's very smooth and definitely stands up to a Cardio Coach workout. I sweat like crazy and burn lots of calories.

FYI - Just saw the NordicTrack Auto Strider 990 listed as the "Best Buy" in the February issue of Consumer Reports.
