I like the elliptical personally,
I do not like those seats going up my ass! hard for me to stay on them for very long at a time so I am probably biased in that regard. |

Go for a Bike pure and simple. You don't carry your upper bodyweight on your Legs using one, as the weight should be channelled into the seat.
This should hopefully reduce Leg Fatigue during sessions, and lower impact on things like Knees. |

| that being said, you burn more cal's when you have to carry your own bodyweight but long running isn't the answer...free wt / bodyweight circuits are though and in half the time too |
