Elliptical Trainer Costs
Elliptical trainers’ costs should not be a big deal if you are after a long-term fitness machine that will serve its purpose well. It is a fact that elliptical trainers do not come cheap. It also does not help that many cheap ones are emerging already. That is why you cannot really blame those who would rather opt for the cheaper ones since they really do not have the budget for it after all.
What should have come first and foremost in mind is that physical fitness is a lifetime endeavor. When you see that you are fit enough and has lost some of the pounds in you, it should not stop there. You should maintain it for other health benefits that it can give you.
Having your own elliptical trainer is one of the options that many people are taking. And why not? You can have this at your home and get into it once you feel the urge to. There are no worries of having to go to the gym to do that. And no worries of being conscious of what you are doing.
These are the reasons why buying one should be thought long and hard first. You will realize that you have made a mistake in buying cheap elliptical trainers once it breaks down and you need a replacement.
So that you will not be placed in this position, below are some of the things that you need to look for in an elliptical trainer:
2. Durability
Ok so you have gotten an elliptical trainer for a very low price. But the question is how long will it be of service to you. There are cases wherein cheap elliptical trainers tend to breakdown after two or more uses. This is because the cheap ones have not really been given special attention by the manufacturers.
Cheap elliptical trainers are produced on a large scale. When this happens, not every single one of them is given more time and scrutiny to see if all the parts are working orderly. This is in opposition to expensive ones that go after quality. They tend to maintain a standard that should be followed before these trainers are released for sale.
3. Quality.
You probably would not want your machine to make strange noises while you are working out on it. And you probably would not also want to have to watch out your every move in case some parts unexpectedly come loose.
Go after quality. This is the assurance you need when you want your elliptical trainer to last a long time. With quality comes the price that is just right for it. If it means that you are getting something that can last way longer than you can, then the initial elliptical trainer cost would not matter that much to you.

So if anyone had one, can they answer these questions below?:

2) Did it work good?
3) How long did it take you to start seeing weight loss results?
4) How much weight did you lose?
5) How old were you?
Thanks for all these questions and answers!!

I have one of the Tony Little Gazelle, and I love it. I got mine second hand; so you will probably have to do some searching – but I do know walmart carries them (you can order online). It worked great – and I saw results within the first week. I only used it for about 40 minutes a day – stretching before and afterwards. I lost almost 20 pounds, and could have lost more; but had to stop, as I am pregnant with my third child. As for my age, I’m 29. Try to remember though, with any exercises program, it is a good idea to eat right as well.

I have one and love it! Like you, I did a lot of research before buying mine. I would definitely suggest that you find a used one instead of paying a fortune for a new one. I got mine for about a hundred dollars from Craigslist. I don’t use it all the time ( I go to the gym about 4-5 times a week) but since I only paid $100 for it, I don’t feel guilty not using it every day!!!
I am 25 and don’t want to lose a lot of weight, just tone up and be healthy. If you are trying to lose 30 lbs, I would set a goal of a year, and be diligent about eating healthfully and getting at least 30-45 minutes of exercise about 5 times a week. If you stay focused, it will probably take less than a year, but if you’re like me, I need room in my diet for ice cream cones and peppermint patties from time to time, so a year would be manageable enough to where you don’t feel like you’re in boot camp!
Good Luck!

I got a proform from Sears about 4 months back and I use it about 4 times a week fro about 30 minutes at a time. I’ve lost about 15 pounds during this period. The elliptical is fun to use and it’s easy to find time to use it having one at the house.
