To Choose an elliptical
Look for well-designed handles. If you choose to hold on to the nonmoving hand grips instead of the back-and-forth handles, watch out that the handles donˇ¦t whack you in
he arms. Wide pedals are preferable to narrow ones. Also be sure to look for a model with a safety rim around both sides of the pedals.
-Most models have exercise programs that adjust pedaling diff
iculty automatically as you work out, but some have programs that are easier to operate. Adjustable incline, available on some models, lets you change the elliptical profile and the exercise intensity
.
-A safety pin on some models goes through the pedal arm to keep unsupervised children from using the machine. Among the reasons to keep kids away are pinch points on some models.

The disappointing news from our most recent tests is that a number of machines had problems, from annoying ˇ§clunkingˇ¨ sounds to mechanical failures that seriously affected performance. Our findings
so suggest that you get what you pay for, especially if you work out frequently. Ellipticals that cost $2,000 and up were well-built and felt stable to our testers, more like the $5,000 machines at gy
ms. And they were less likely to have defects.

The effort to make exercise interesting and as pain-free as possible has led to an array of features. One useful device found on most ellipticals is electronic programming that automatically increases
or decreases the workout's intensity, the way running up and down real hills does outdoors. You can also make the adjustments manually. On the gimmicky side, a growing number of ellipticals load the
console with gadgets such as fans, a CD player, and a cubbyhole for a TV remote.
