Question...

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.

Swiss ball? Cheap and deflatable and quite fun. Mine came with several cardio workouts (of different lengths and difficulties) on dvd, but google 'swiss ball' and 'cardio' and you get hundreds more. Also, if you're having a migrainey day and can't do much, just sitting on it is good for abs and balance.
