The disappointing news from our most recent tests is that a number of machines had problems, from annoying ¡§clunking¡¨ sounds to mechanical failures that seriously affected performance. Our findings
so suggest that you get what you pay for, especially if you work out frequently. Ellipticals that cost $2,000 and up were well-built and felt stable to our testers, more like the $5,000 machines at gy
ms. And they were less likely to have defects.

Tips for buying elliptical :
-Try it out first. Every model is a little different, so you shouldn't buy one before using it in the store. That's especially important with elliptical exercisers bec
ause the movement is less familiar than walking or running, and each machine has a slightly different pedaling profile.
-Decide which features you'll use. Some, such as exercise programs, can make
a workout more varied and less boring, which may get you on the machine more often. But don't pay for frills you don't care about.
-Consider your space. Elliptical exercisers, most of which do no
t fold and are hard to move, take up as much floor space as a couch.
-Make sure you can change your mind. Understand the store¡¦s return policies.

In a 65 percent increase from the year before, 3.3 million Americans regularly worked out on an elliptical exerciser in 2003. Ellipticals have caught on big for a number of reasons: The pedaling is e
asy on the joints (an advantage over treadmills); the exercise is weight-bearing and helps protect against osteoporosis (an advantage over bicycling and swimming); models with movable arms add a modes
t upper-body workout (an advantage over most treadmills and exercise bikes); and using an elliptical is easy (an advantage over cross-country-ski machines, which require a degree of finesse). What¡¦s
ore, an elliptical lets you burn calories about as effectively as does a treadmill.
