An At Home Alternative To An Elliptical Machine
If you've used an elliptical machine at a gym and you'd like to have a light weight inexpensive version of the same thing at home than an exercise glider may be what you are looking for. While buying an elliptical machine for your home will probably cost you about 00, you can get an exercise glider for less than 0. An example of an exercise glider is Tony Little's "Gazelle" which is advertised on television. It costs about 0.

Exercise Gliders Fold Up Easily (Saves Space)
If you don't have much space in your home then the fact that an exercise glider such as the "Gazelle" folds easily is a big positive. If you live in a small apartment like me then it's a huge positive! I just don't have space to have a big elliptical machine in the middle of the living room all the time. To me that's just as important as the fact that they are about 00 cheaper for pretty much the same type of exercise.
Low Impact Workout
One of the great things about working out with an exercise glider is the fact that it gives you a low impact workout. This is great for those of us with bad knees or for people who are significantly overweight. Walking on the concrete can be very hard on the knees. Why not burn the calories without the wear & tear on the knees? That's what you get with an exercise glider.
Cardio Is An Important Part Of Losing Weight
Combining cardio exercise with a smart fat burning diet (stay away from low calorie starvation diets) is a great way to lose weight fast.
