Hello!
First of all, I want to thank everyone in this forum for being so helpful. I have learned a few Ancient Chinese Atkins secrets on this forum, and I only have you all to thank! *bows*
... Anyway, my father is looking in to buy some excersize equipment for our family so we can get in some good workouts every day. We have room for 3 machines on our balcony, and we have decided on a rowing machine, an Elliptical (I hope I spelled that right) and this pushy-pully thing my dad likes to use (I can't really describe it other then like some combo of a see-saw and those things that people use to move along on railroad tracks).
Anyway, I'm pretty concerned on what Elliptical we should purchase. My father is drawing the line at 300 dollars, and he is DEFINITELY drawing it at 400. I have done a lot of research and a lot of people do not reccomend cheap Ellipticals... Well, I found a lot of these people were gym snobs and I wanted to come here to ask all of you notorious weight-losers what you think? I am looking for one with at least an 18 inch stride.... It doesn't have to have anything fancy on the screen, and one that is easy on the feet/joints/back... (I am a flatfoot--If that has any bearing.)
We are also looking for a rowing machine... That is the only thing my mother will use. But I found that those are not to pricey... So if anyone has any good reccomendations on those... I will greatly appreciate it!
Also... If you think that an Ellipctical is not a good idea, and that a treadmill is better... Let me know! I am trying to do all my homework before giving my father excersize equipment info.
Also... This is an Elliptical that he is looking into, is this a good one to purchase?
Ebay - Elliptical
Any and all feedback is greatly appreciated!
Thanks again,
