 I'm looking at buying either an exercise bike or a stepper. But I was just reading a flyer and they have the Exercise Bike on sale for $129.99 and an Eilliptcial Trainer for $299.99. I don't know much about the Elliptical Trainer. Any other suggestions? My apartment is a fare size, but I don't want some big bulky exercise equipment in my living room. |

| For me, I would definitely go with an elliptical over either a bike or a stepper. It is a great workout and easy on your knees. I would also look into a Concept 2 Rower as an option. It is really light and easy to put somewhere and is a really good workout. I prefer it even to my elliptical. To buy new is quite expensive but we found ours on Craigslist, like new for $350. Well, well worth the price. Just make sure you test it out to make sure it's smooth if you go with the elliptical. Ours is a better brand so it's really smooth. I have heard that some of the cheap ones aren't as smooth. Test out whatever you buy. |

| Elliptical for sure! |

| Yes, eliptical. It gives you probably the best overall workout as far as cardio equipment goes. And I love how you can change the intensity and the grade (more up hill, etc). |

| I come from a family of bad knees, so I prefer the elliptical myself! That actually seems like a decent price for one too...I've been dying to get an elliptical for the house! |

| Thanks everyone. I'm going to go pricing the Eliptacal this weekend. |
