If $1,000 is beyond your budget for an elliptical trainer, you still have some options, but experts say you shouldn't expect a low-end machine to offer the same flexibility and durability as more expensive elliptical trainers. That's most evident in the manufacturer warranty. On the higher-quality elliptical machines above, one-year warranties are standard, but less expensive models often only back their machines with a 90-day warranty.

Written by admin on January 12, 2010 – 9:12 pm -LOSE YOUR EXTRA POUNDS WITH THESE PRO TIPS by Genevieve Monsma Time your pre-meal snack Eating a low-carbohydrate protein bar 90 minutes before you work out will enable you to exercise longer and harder (and burn more calories) than you normally would, says Steve Zim, author of “Hot Point Fitness.” However, that 90-minute mark is crucial.
