Have been looking around for a good home gym set up but nothing solid yet. I insist on trying stuff before I invest this much money.
Looking forward to hearing about others experiences. |
Kobi, I appreciate your response.
What I highlighted in red I am wondering if this is true of all ellipticals? For the next 6 months, I am not allowed to do any resistance training that would engage my left pectoral muscles, so this was one reason why I was looking at the tread climber instead of the elliptical (plus, since it can be used as a stepper or tread mill only). The one person I spoke to who has an elliptical says that there is NO resistance in the poles, regardless of pedal resistance. I am wondering if it depends on the machine?
Thanks.
