Need to get something for my folks... What do you recommend? treadmill? Gazelle? stepper/skier/cycle? Need some suggestions, specific models would be good too. Thanks.

Look into ProForm Elliptical's. We just got one and my wife really likes it.

I don't think you can get them quite that cheap, though...

It's going to be difficult to find a durable exercise machine for $200 or less, particularly an elliptical or treadmill. Maybe check out some used sporting goods shops.

You might look into a recumbent bicycle. They don't give you the full-body workout of an elliptical, but they're easy on your back and should be somewhat cheaper.

Thanks guys... I kinda prefer something they can do while standing up, and a recumbent seems a little too relaxed...

Anyway, thanks. I'll look into the elliptical...
