Elliptical trainers

The elliptical trainers are also known as cross training bikes. So called because of their action, they are designed to help prevent jarring of the joints and to provide more emphasis on your action.

Ellipitical trainers have been around for a while and all the big brands including Life Fitness, Kettler and Reebok have models. As with most the more you are will to pay the better they normally are - however try the Beny models for value for money where available.

As always, compare a number of sites to make sure you get the best value for money and check their delivery arrangements, prices and availability for committing yourself.
