Oh no, that crazy gazelle thing is a joke, my friend had that and all it does it work your hip flexors, quite painful after a while.
This is an elliptical trainer which mimmicks walking or climbing, but with absolutely no impact on the knees or otherwise.
It is awkward at first and you have to get your legs used to it, but it offers one heck of a lower body workout along with super cardio. Check out NordicTrack or Precor's websites to see what I mean. A good one, like precor is pricey--$5,000 pricey! :eek: So, I did my comparisons and found a Nordictrack home model that has a power ramp and it was $799 and then with my extended warranties, shipping, I paid, just under $1,000. But it was very worth it and like I said, I didn't have to dish it out all at once which was very nice. My monthly payment was like $197 for 5 months, it was like an overblown electric bill so I just paid it like one of the bills and never thought about it again, I found that I can actually save that now, put it away, so I am pretending that I still have a bill to pay. Anyway, blah, blah, blah.... :grin:
