Default Re: buying an elliptical

If you just want to lose weight, I would recommend trying out Dance Dance Revolution at home. In my opinion, it is one of the most intense cardio one can do at the higher levels, and the fact that it is a game makes you play it more. I would say that playing for an hour can probably burn a thousand calories at higher levels.

If you have a playstation or x-box, check it out. If you don't have a games system, you can download DWI or Stepmania (google them), and you can play from your computer.

The fact that you are having fun exercising means you will keep playing, unlike an exercise machine which you would have to be extremely disciplined to keep up.

Is this one of those things with all the lights that the little Japanese kids jump around on on TV? People actually have these in their homes?

Maybe you should try this thing called "jogging." Or maybe it's pronounced "yah-ging" with a soft j, I dunno. Apparrently you just run, it's sounds pretty easy.

Default Re: buying an elliptical

1. youve never used an elliptical machine

2. you dont do any "sports things" now

3. you want to spend up to $1500 the equipment

that sounds like a really bad idea. you don't have any experience, dont know your level of motivation and want to spend a boat load of money to develop those two things.

most people use their in-home equipment for less than a year.

id recommend one of two things:

1. buying used equipment(off craigslist). find someone else that bought it new and thought they would spend their life using it forever and then let it collect dust after 6 months. let them take the hit on the price.

2. or join a gym and pay a monthly fee. it will take a long time before your monthly fees add up to $1500. after the new year gyms have some specials because people start their new years resolutions. keep an eye out for those. they usually waive sign up fee or something along those lines.

like i said, i know joining a gym is the best idea. but it's not going to happen. if that is my only option, i'll stay fat.

i don't really know about dance dance revolution but i could see something like that being a good idea if i could get into it. hmm.
