Question...

[telophase]

Does anyone here have any recommendations for compact, small cardio exercise equipment? Something that takes up space in use, but which easily folds away, like those treadmills that can fold up, is also an option. (No non-recumbent bikes, plz, those things hurt me!)

I'm just looking at things that take significantly less floorspace than the recumbent bikes. My current bike needs about 6' x 3.5' of space.

How compact do you want it?

Our elliptical trainer folds up, not that we usually bother because we have enough space to keep it out all the time. It probably takes up about the same amount of space as your bike when it's in use; and maybe half that folded?

Step plus bike is probably your best option -- it looks like you could fit a folded up elliptical machine in a corner with a bike, but it would make it very cluttered and would be a pain to drag the bike or elliptical out of the corner so you could use both.

I'm getting more and more convinced of this as the best option.

(And BTW to anyone else reading this - I screened the comment above as it contained a link to an address we are considering, which I realized afterwards was now posted in public. Whee! :D)
