What To Look For
Look for a Stamina elliptical that matches your body and your needs. If you are interested in a full body workout, you should purchase the Stamina Dual Action. However, if you just want the elliptical motion on your feet to work your legs and glutes, you should purchase the InMotion, which is a smaller elliptical without the arm workout.
Common Pitfalls
Remember that, while ellipticals do exercise your arms and legs, you need to combine your elliptical training with other training, such as different cardio, bodyweight exercises or weight training. Your Stamina is the beginning of your workout, not the end.
Also, make sure you use it. It's all too common for people to buy workout gear and then let it become a piece of furniture in their home rather than a piece of exercise equipment.
Where To Buy
You can buy the Stamina at most sporting goods stores, such as Sports Authority. You can also buy a Stamina online, which offers no sales tax and free shipping. But this is not recommended, because you should make sure the Stamina works for you by trying it out in the store before you buy it
Sports Authority has both online and brick-and-mortar options available, so you can try your elliptical in the store, then order it online. Alternatively, you can just buy it in the store and have it shipped to you, if it won't fit in your car.
Cost
There are two Stamina Ellipticals that range in price from $99 to $249. These prices are subject to change and do not include shipping costs or other associated costs.
Comparison Shopping
Evaluate how each Stamina fits your needs. The major difference is that one works your arms, while the other does not. However, the one that does not work your arms is smaller and will therefore fit better in a small house or apartment.
Accessories
You should buy some workout gear, such as shorts and a T-shirt that do not accumulate sweat. This means that cotton should be avoided. A personal MP3 player is also a good option, particularly for those long, fat-burning workouts.
