Around the end of the year or start of 2010, I'm wanting to get some cardio equipment to use at home...that way I can work out in the comfort of my own house, and maybe even take away my husband's excuse for not working out, as well.
Anyway, I've got a recumbent bike I bought at a garage sale, that I've been using for more than a year now. I like it, but it's not a workout on par with what I get using one of those upright bikes with the arms that swing (like this, if I can post it...

It's also not as good a workout as the elliptical trainer I use at the same center.
We'll have enough money to spend a good chunk on a good machine. I'm considering one of the upright sort of bikes, an elliptical or even a stair machine (though I've never used one...just seems like it'd be good exercise).
Anyone HAVE these at home? What would you suggest?
