Gazelle Edge
 

I am considering buying this to get my cardio when I work or it's too gross out to walk outside. I have a shoe string budget and I have limited space so it seems ideal. I am considering using part of my tax return to order this on Amazon. I have been on a Gazelle before and enjoyed it but it was a long time ago and it was more playful than actual workout. If anyone has one and has seen progress, I would love to hear from you :)

Years ago, I had a friend that used a gazelle for her primary workout. She lost at least 100 pounds. Almost anything will work if you use it. You can always use WATP DVDs if you want cheap and doable inside.

Thank you so much! I have known a few people who have owned them and they are pretty sturdy for the price. I am definitely going to buying it :)

My mom has one that she used to watch tv every night with. The upside is you are getting some exercise, the downside is you can't really increase your intensity beyond going faster and eventually you'll cap out there. Hers also squeaked horribly after a while but I don't know if she could've fixed it with wd40 or what not.

I'd probably recommend a rebounder over a gazelle, something like this:

You can get a similar workout, you can vary things and it is cheaper. I've heard of people who have had mini trampolines and have been happy with them.
