Your article "How To Keep Your Muscle While Leaning Out"

I received a letter today from a lady who actually reads this rag of mine and was thoughtful enough to send a reply. If you’re in the market for, or are even considering some type of elliptical, give this article from Reviews.com a look. Their team creates reviews about various products using sponsorship-free processes in an effort to provide unbiased information. This article covers a lot of ground and may provide you with helpful data to consider. There's a pile of other reviews on Reviews.com, so there's plenty more to see. Their elliptical review covers the many options at hand when choosing a machine for your home gym:

Drive System Location - this determines how bulky the machine is and its ergonomic design

• Front drive ellipticals are small and inexpensive, but tend to be less natural in terms of range of motion. They also typically require more extensive long-term maintenance costs.
• Rear drive ellipticals are bigger and more expensive, but allow for a wider range of motion that feels natural like jogging. These machines also usually have lower maintenance costs.
• Center drive ellipticals are large, expensive, and come with luxurious bells and whistles. They offer the most natural range of motion possible and feature on-board entertainment.

Drive Mechanism - how does the machine increase resistance?

• Magnetic resistance uses flywheel magnets to control the intensity of the workout, offering a customizable and fine-tuned ride
• Air resistance is far less precise, essentially adding resistance the faster you pedal.

Pedal Design - where are your feet and how do they move?

• Wheel-track ellipticals use tracks on the base of the machine to anchor your feet into pedals. This allows for a less ergonomic range of motion, although you can usually adjust them to a certain extent. These are the lowest-priced options.
• Suspension ellipticals doesn’t use tracks, rather they suspend the body over the base of the machine for a natural feel. These machines offer great ergonomics, but do tend to be more expensive.

They also dive deeper into the design of the machines, programmable consoles, and incline adjustments later in the article, which you can look at here: Elliptical Machines
