Eclipse Cyclone 2 programmable eliptical cross trainer.
Eliptical cross trainers are a low impact exerciser that burn 5 times more calories than walking.
There are two ways of exercising, holding onto the static handles for a lower body work out. Or using the long moving handles for a full body work out. You place your feet on large foot plates and can either go forward or backward to exercise differant parts of the legs. No instructions are giving on what parts of the body you are working out or placing feet on differant parts of the foot plates to increase difficulty.

Any time you find the going to hard or easy just press a button to adjust the tension.

"Genius!" I replied.
And so my quest to buy a machine began.
After looking at a variety of makes and models, I decided upon the York 3100 EllipticalTrainer & Cycle.
