Date: Sep 01, 2010
Advice & Tips: As of Sept 1, 2010, I am lumping elliptical together with the other aerobic exercise I do - walking, exercise bike, running.

Date: Oct 17, 2009
Advice & Tips: Even when I was unable to walk (due to freezing, lack of balance, and poor coordination), before I got my medication adjusted, I was able to get a strenuous workout on the elliptical machine.
Cost: < $25 monthly

Advice & Tips: It has much the same movements as running, but without the pounding. You can go at a high rate of movement and low resistance, or a slower rate and movement and high resistance. You can hold on to the rails, or (to help your balance) not hold on to the rails. Usually, the latter is much more tiring than the former, so you may wish to alternate. With the former, you can concentrate on endurance; with the latter, balance.
Cost: < $25 monthly
