"Researchers at the University of Mississippi found that elliptical trainers offer the same cardiovascular benefits as treadmill running but without the impact on joints. Physical therapists such as Chris Cesario, a Boston University physical therapist coordinator, often use the machines for working with orthopedic and sports patients, as well as with senior citizens recovering from surgery or illness.
"'When you use the machines, you're moving in an oval pattern, almost like floating, and there is no pounding or crunching on your legs,' Cesario said.

"Investing in an elliptical trainer for your home gym, however, isn't an inexpensive proposition. Adam Campbell, features editor at Men's Health magazine, said that higher-end models from makers such as Precor, LifeFitness, and Smooth start at $1,500.
"'As a general rule of thumb, you probably won't be happy if you buy the cheapest model,' Campbell said. 'They often feel rickety and simply don't compare to the models found in the health clubs.'"
