Anyone have any knowledge or experience with elliptical fitness equipment?

My treadmill that I used for 30 minutes a day has finally given out. It did a very good job of toning my legs and butt area. Now, I want to go a step further and start toning my arms also. I'm looking at elliptical fitness equipment. I'm not in great physical shape but I have developed an endurance. I am able to walk at a fast pace for thirty minutes. Would an elliptical trainer be a bit to much for someone like me? I've been looking at a Norditrack. Ive read if you're going to buy one you want a good one. What do you think?

  1. Several family members of mine own an Elliptical & would never be without it. They say it's the best cardio workout you can get. I have seen that info also printed on the box as well. Norditrack is a great name, so I'd go for it. :)
  2. well i don't have a elliptical but i have used them several of times. they work great and it works out all your body areas. but i just recently used a treadmill, and i think the treadmill is better. you just get tired with a elliptical, well i do. but use any equipment you want it's up to you. ellipticals are great too. just make sure it's like not the flat ellipticals because those don't work.
