    Question Elliptical Bike or Exercise Bike ?

    As the title says. Which one should I get. I need to know asap.There is a sale online and they have free delivery for today only. I know, not much time.

    Oh and are they worthwhile getting. DP seem's to think that both are a waste of money and that I should just get out the pram with the kids and go walking.

    The Elliptical Bike is $119 and the Exercise Bike is $69.95.

    TIA

    Well According to a friend of mine who is a personal trainer. He says the Elliptical trainers are better.. but also nothing is better then going otu walking

    the elliptical trainers give a whole body workout or something like that

    Yeah Nic, that's what the spiel says about the elliptical bike. I know that good old feet on the pavement is good, but realistically with the 3 or even 2 little ones, I know I am not going to do as much as I should.

    Hmmm An exercise bike has a seat on it. I can put it in front of the tv Well, I could put either in front of the tv in that case.

    Let me know which one looks best packed away in the garage - it's about time I got something new to add to my collection LMAO.

    Probably best to just get the one you're most likely to use rather than which is best iykwim.

    Personally I hate using the exercise bike, I have had one and it is great as a place to hang things. The handles make a really handy place to hang clothes after you have ironed them before you put them away. Also as a place to dry towels.

    I like the elliptical or cross trainer. I find I get too bored on the bike. It is tough to do but you can build up.

    It all comes down to personal preference
