Elliptical machine would be best bang for the buck. I hate treadmills, and bikes just get boring. ---

An elliptical is pretty easy going, probably my preferred method of cardio. I feel as though they exaggerate the calories used, but whatever. Treadmill is better though… I just don’t prefer them. ---

I like ellipticals. One of my knees is all sorts of fucked up. (Had chunks of articular cartilege pulled out 3 times in high school.) Elliptical is the only cardio exercise I can do without walking with a limp the next day. Find a deal on an elliptical and spend a bit more on some free weights and a bench. ---

> [@SVT3945](#): > > details on the eliptical? how old? make and model? Bought from sears 3years ago. Used in the winter. still in brand new shape. paid 699, sell for $300. might drop it off for $50. Treadmill used before the ellipitical, has not been used in 3years. comes free with ellipitical or $50 for the treadmill some up… elliptical+treadmill = $300 elliptical+treadmill+drop off (20miles from 14225) = $350 treadmill = $50 (not sure of working order) Nordic Track CX 925, i do not know what the treadmill make is. let me know ---

+1 one more for the elliptical. The problem with a gym membership is after a couple weeks you’ll keep finding reasons not to go (too busy, too cold out etc etc). You’ll really feel like a complete piece of shit if you can’t find 20-40 minutes to workout right in your own home. Especially since you’re probably sitting there watching TV for at least that much time, something you could be doing WHILE working out on an elliptical. ---
