In deciding how I want to stay fit, I did some research and opt'd on buying an Elliptical Trainer. The one I settled on was the E55 from Sole Fitness. Here is a link to the product details

The cost was $1500 but I think it will be worth it. I'll post my feedback about it after I get a chance to try it out.
In the mean-time, I wanted to get a head start (I'm impatient). I found a cheap little 'elliptical' unit at Wal-Mart while the kids were picking out some toys. It was the 'Stamina Instride Elliptical, and it was $75. Here is a link to it:

DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT. It is a piece of junk. After one day, one of the foot pedals came off. I tighted it back on only for it to find a way to wiggle itself back off. I tighted it back on again - this time with extreme force and it seemed to work for that session. The next day when trying again, one of the pedal legs started slipping off the roller. I put it back on, looked for loose connections and tried to tighten things up (both legs still felt a little 'loose' though). Shortly after that, the whole leg came off the wheel. I could not re-fasten the leg to the wheel and gave up. We disassembled it, put the pieces back in the box, and plan on returning it to Wal-Mart tomorrow. If you're considering this product and find this post, don't buy it!
