Elliptical Trainers are non impact exercise machines. As such they are the ideal workout for people with back, knee, hips and joint problems.

Elliptical trainers build bone density, burn calories and inhibit the onset of osteoporosis. Ellipticals are growing in popularity by providing a complete upper and lower body workout minus the stress and impact.

For overweight people who are starting a regular exercise program to decrease body fat, they will find that the elliptical trainer can optimize energy expenditure.

The elliptical trainer combines the natural stride treadmill and the simplicity of a stair climber. You stand comfortably in an upright position while holding onto the machine's handrails and striding in either a forward or reverse motion.

Big Fitness has been in business since 1991 with a wide range of Elliptical Trainers including Nautilus.

The NordicTrack, Proform and Reebok ellipticals, and the Weslo elliptical are at Workout Warehouse where they have the "best brands of fitness equipment at astonishingly low prices" WorkoutWarehouse.com

Talking of using exercise equipment to decrease body fat; we came across this interesting article by Fawnia and pass it along because perhaps this is you?

About two months ago, you started the typical bodybuilding diet. At first it was a bit of a challenge but after the first week, you had everything under control. Gone were the days of having to snack on some chocolate, or have garlic bread with your salad. Each night you prepared your food for the following day, and like a soldier, you knew exactly when and what to eat. You felt as though you had the entire diet maze all figured out, and would be lean for the rest of your life.

Eight weeks into your ''diet'', even though your abs are beginning to show, your energy levels are a lot lower then they used to be. Plus, your mind is starting to think about ''food''. Not chicken, sweet potatoes, or green beans, but of dipping a chocolate bar into a bowl of ice-cream! You can hardly call that food, but these are real thoughts and they aren't going away. How can this be happening?! Feeling frustrated, you think to yourself, ''I'll just buy a small piece of chocolate, not an entire bar, and that will satisfy my craving for something sweet.'' Within seconds the chocolate is gone, and you know you need more. There is no talking yourself out of it this time, and within 20 minutes you have eaten two chocolate bars, and 500ml of cookie dough ice-cream. How can you justify this, and what can you do to prevent this from happening again? For the next couple days, you are overwhelmed with guilt and have a hard time picking up where you left off.
