An Orbitrek Platinum Elliptical Trainer for $200 or less.
It's a tough decision to make.
You know for the sake of your health you have to get more exercise but it's such a hassle joining a health club, then finding the time to get down there, not to mention the expense. A piece of home exercise equipment seems like a solution.
You've looked at treadmills, steppers, stationary bikes, rowers and elliptical's. You like the look of those elliptical's; low impact, weight bearing exercise, crosstraining, low perceived exertion, total body workout - it looks like the real deal.
Here's where the tough decision comes in.
Are you going to spend $200 or $2000 on an elliptical crosstrainer? If money was no object you would opt for a high quality $2000 machine, but even with money no object nobody likes to see a $2000 piece of kit sitting in a corner gathering dust.
If you are just starting out on your fitness adventure take a look at the

Platinum. Basically it has nothing going for it except price. As a beginner
though, it will give you a good workout. It's guaranteed for a year and in
that time you will know if the fitness bug has bitten, in which case you will
look on the Orbitrek Platinum as a starter model and a stepping stone to bigger
and better elliptical trainers.
On the other hand, and let's be realistic here, despite your best intentions, if things don't work out and your elliptical trainer ends up in the garage within a couple of months, you haven't lost too much, and at least you gave it a go.
