Although she can't use one because of her leg condition my wife has been
trying to get me over to an elliptical as she says it is less stressful on
the knees. She joined a local health club last year and says the
ellipticals are more popular than the treadmills.


I think I agree. I am not a runner and never have been, but I can go at a
faster speed on the elliptical and maintain it. The same speed on the
treadmill would require a jog.

With your back issues ... I'd seriously consider an elliptical. Much
smoother.
