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. --------------------

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. -------------------- Jeanie - SAHM to Kristen 13, Cade 12, Conner 8, Keegan 3

And I love how you can change the intensity and the grade (more up hill, etc). -------------------- Rae SAHM to Wil (4) and Wesley (2) ~ Wife to Richard 10/20/01

That actually seems like a decent price for one too...I've been dying to get an elliptical for the house! -------------------- Bria, Wife to Bruce Mom to Ryan (10), Aliyah (8), and Mason (5)
