Carl Lewis Fitness Elp30 Elliptical

Advantages: Low impact cardiovascular workout
Disadvantages: Expensive

.../down. In terms of manouvreability - you can 'wheel' it on two its two front feet, which turn like wheels so you don't have to lift the whole thing to move it - which is useful. To maintain this machine, you may occasionally need to oil some of the moving joints - a little WD40 will do nicely, but apart from that you just have to use it regularly to stop the dust settling! This is a very good, sturdy machine that will give you an excellent cardiovascular work out and won't impact on your joints. If you want to take up jogging, but can't stand the rain and cold, or don't want to be seen in running in public, this is the perfect compromise. It is slightly on the expensive side compared to what you can buy standard elliptical machines for, but I think it's worth the money purely because of the inbuilt seat! Let's get fit people!...

...a bit of Googling I came across the Carl Lewis Glide Trainer and found that Amazon are selling it for £79.99 with free Supersaver p&p although I paid extra for next day delivery. If you pop along to the actual Carl Lewis website, you'll see the machine is being sold for £84.50. I then cashed £35 of survey reward vouchers and placed the order. Five previous purchasers had left small reviews, 2 of which were negative so I crossed my fingers and hoped for the best. Assembly When I finally got the machine delivered by the courier company which could be a review in itself and proves that sometimes, shouting and being downright rude to people who lie does actually work - I found much to my relief that the machine is about 95% assembled. All I had to do was screw in each arm pole and screw on the front grip pole, clip... Read review
