Elliptical vs. Treadmill? My wife and I thought about this a lot, because we were replacing a treadmill. My wife researched elliptical machines for several months. We looked at a wide range of machines, from entry level to gym quality. We ultimately decided on the Schwinn 430 due to the small footprint, the stride, and the solid feeling of the machine given its affordable price.

There are several advantages to going the elliptical route — it’s easier on the knees, it’s a hybrid between running and biking, it actually helps your speed when it comes to running, and since you can always run outdoors it diversifies your aerobic work-out routines.

We wholeheartedly recommend Schwinn Elliptical to anyone in the market for an elliptical trainer, you can’t go wrong with the 430 model for $599. It is by far a superior piece of home exercise equipment for the money that most people can afford. Your health and fitness is worth the investment.
