Exercise with me as I try to loose some weight. The big problem is that I love those exercise machines (especially expensive exercise bikes) but I spend time reading about them online instead of riding them... :-)

The EL 1000 Natural FIT Elliptical Trainer

The EL 1000 Natural FIT Elliptical Trainer gives the user the benefit of walking and jogging without having to run on the treadmill which for some users tends to be a painful experience because of the impact of the feet on the hard treadmill. This version boasts a 18 inch stride length and handle allow the upper body to get a workout too. This version features a LCD which shows the distance travelled, calories burnt, speed and resistance level. There are some preset programs to choose from which include heart health, weight management and interval programs. There are two custom presets too which include My Zone interval and My Zone constant through which the user can set the times according to his own will and then the machine will follow the times set by the user.
The My zone interval program is pretty hard for any average person to cope with because it takes a person through high and low intensity workouts. While the My Zone constant keeps the heart rate at a constant whilst taking the user through his exercise and constantly changes the resistance at which the exercise is going at. There are eight different presets each with three levels. The EL 1000 Natural FIT Elliptical Trainer comes with a lifetime frame and brake guarantee along with a three year parts warranty. It can be easily moved from place to place courtesy its front mounted wheels. The EL 1000 Natural FIT Elliptical Trainer is the best option for people who suffer from knee or joint pain as it does not involve the hassle of running like on a treadmill.

Bowflex Series 7 treadmill

A new addition to the treadmill world is the Bowflex series 7, with its 15 year frame warranty and 10 year motor warranty it offers the best value for money then any other treadmill. It is attracting many customers with its design and durability. The Bowflex series 7 comes with a backlit LCD screen and a 3.0 hp motor which provides more then enough oomph for the treadmill to keep going even with a person weighing 300 lbs doing the running. It comes with 2 cupholders and a 3 speed fan and it has a 12% incline and can work from .05 up to speeds of 11 miles per hour.
It has a broad 20 inches by 60 inches belt surface which is ample for running or walking, with Bowflex strike zone cushioning technology to absorb the impact of the footfalls. It has 15 inbuilt workout modes ranging from cardio, manual, running, hill intervals and the 5k with 12 intervals. Extra features include heart strength meter and a calorie goal meter. The only negative thing about the Bowflex series 7 is that it is pretty difficult to maneuver after it has been folded and some customer service issues. But nevertheless it is a must have for fitness buffs.
