Giving an Elliptical as a gift....Need recommendations

[CBradSmith]

Obvious benefits are they are easier on joints and not nearly as noisy as treadmills.

Good for burning a lot of calories (not as many as outdoor or treadmill running) while in an environment that is comfortable and where one can watch tv, etc....

Anybody have recommendations?

Don't

Unless they asked for it explicitly. Otherwise it is subject to so many negative interpretations by the recipient.

Think I'm going with this at the appropriate time. It's my mom. Her treadmill is worn out. I want to upgrade her, and she's open to it.

Small price tag for genuinely extending a person's life 4-8 years with a corresponding improvement in quality of life in later years.

I've used it. It's phenomenal.

Take a look at www.nustep.com It is something she would be able to use even as she loses mobility later in life. They are fantastic machines.
