Strider machine

[anne]

Has anyone tried a strider machine? Do they work just like a treadmill in terms of results and can I expect to get the same type of quality and high-intense workout? I'm asking because I can't really run anymore because of my knees, but I feel like walking isn't enough. It looks like the strider machine is easier on the joints. Am I just imagining this or is this true?

I think it is easier on the joints, because you're not running, you're moving your legs back and forth, so it's up to you how much pressure you apply and the intensity at which you workout. I like the machine better than a treadmill because it is quieter and honestly it's just more fun. You will definitely get a workout on it, but as I said, the intensity level is up to you.

They do work. I have one. And I love mine! Hahaha. Can you tell I'm a fan? Honestly, though, they really are great exercise machines because they don't take up a lot of space, they're quite, easy to use (and fun!) and it's up to you how fast you go.

These are good machines. I like that they are easy to use, quiet, and you can fold them up and tuck them away easily when they're not in use. I typically use mine in the evening while I'm watching my favorite shows!

Oh! This is very exciting :) Thanks for your opinions and positive feedback guys. I'm gonna get one and try it out for myself. I'm excited that I might finally use a machine on a regular basis. This really does sound like it will fit my life. :)

Have you got one and tried it Anne? I've been looking for something to get rid of my pregnancy weight. I'm wondering if this machine would be gentle enough.
