Elliptical machines quickly replaced Stairmasters toward the end of the 1990′s as the cardiovascular workout of choice, starting with elliptical machines that worked mainly the lower body.  Elliptical machines quickly evolved into full body, cardio-toning exercise machines that made workouts faster, more effective, and a much better choice for weight loss.  Users of elliptical machines can expect to burn 20% more calories on an elliptical machine than walking on an inclined surface, and up to 70% more than simply walking on a flat surface.  

When comparing elliptical machines to determine the best choice for your home gym, there are several factors to consider:

  • Is an elliptical exercise machine the best choice for you?  What are the benefits of elliptical exercise machines as opposed to treadmills, stationary bicycles, etc.?
  • What type of budget have you set for the purchase of your elliptical exercise machine?
  • Is a front drive, rear drive, or center drive elliptical machine better?
  • What brand, models and features are available, and at what price?

While we can’t answer all your questions, we can help you to find the answers that you need to help you compare elliptical machines and make the best purchasing choice!
