911.0. "Advice Needed on Aerobic Riders" by IMTDEV::KELLY () Mon Mar 25 1996 17:56

    Hi,
    
    I am considering buying an aerobic rider (i.e., Cardio Glide, Power
    Rider, Health Rider, etc.).  My top choice would probably be the
    Cardio Glide (just because Consumer Reports rated it #1).  What are
    your opinions?  I don't want to invest in the Health Rider because
    it is too costly compared to the others.  
    
    Have you seen any real benefits in using these machines (i.e., weight
    loss, muscle toning, etc.)?   
    
    If you have the Cardio Glide, what is the difference between the 
    Cardio Glide and the Cardio Glide Plus?  Was it that hard to assemble?
    Where did you purchase it at and at what cost?  (Saw it advertised
    for $199 at Sears and Montgomery Wards but haven't checked at Service
    Merchandise or at Best).
    
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
    
    Thanks in advance,
    
    
    Nancy

911.4	Cardio Fit	GRANPA::EGOSS	`Tue Mar 26 1996 22:01`	11
	I purchased the Cardio Fit last year at Sears for around $200.00 and I really love using it. I ride it every morning for 20 min and listen to my walkman with really high techno music. I have really toned up using this and am on setting #3 which is fat burning. I am also on Weight Watchers and lost 17 lbs. so far and have another 15 to go. My husband has really seen the toning and I just love using it. I agree that the Health Rider is so expensive and the Glide/Fit is voted with a higher rating. I have another friend at DEC who rides her Glide daily and has really seen a difference. Good Luck! Eve
911.5	Low impact, highly effective	NEMAIL::HEINZ	`Fri Apr 19 1996 17:42`	11
	I too have a Cardio Glide and have used it for about two months. Between using the machine about 30 minutes every other day plus cutting out most of the fat in my meals, I have lost over 20 pounds. (About 5-10 more to go). I really endorse that machine. As a guy, the first thing to go is the belly. I have also found that using the Ab Roller in between the Cardio days, has also dramatically helped reduce my waistline. -Bert-
911.6	Nordictrack CTX I rate #1	HOTLNE::YOUNG	`Thu May 01 1997 20:35`	3
	The Nordictrack CTX is better than any "rider" i've udes SO far. Every other one bored me. This also doubles as a hamstirng stretch,leg press, military press,and many,many more.
