Rear drive ellipticals are great. But of course, whatever machine suits your body the most that is what we recommend. See how you feel on it. If you feel good on the machine, that is the machine you'll likely use the most and get better results with meeting your fitness goals. It is always better to test it out than buy because of all the ads or promoted "bells and whistles" it has. Now, rear drive ellipticals you'll find to be in gyms a lot. They are commercial pieces built to last and built to undergo heavy usage, hence the better build quality stated in the video which in tern leads to higher prices on these machines. So if you have many people using it, it can take it. But if it is just you on the piece and you're not really planning on putting to much mileage on it, it'd be better to get a residential machine like the soles we mentioned in the video. Also, if you have any injuries you are trying to work around or rehabilitate, this machine may not be best for you. Incline can irritate any knee problems. But of course, you do not have to use incline if you don't want to. Hope this helps.
Really appreciate the comment! We are planning on doing more reviews like this in the near future and hope to get some traction, helping people with their buying decisions in the process. 😊
@@derekb2817Space is a factor for sure. But also another thing to keep in mind is everyone's body is different. Some people may prefer a shorter stride due to their body type. This is why having adjustable stride on an elliptical is 🤌 Great feature to have!
So what about back wheel drive. I was kinda thinking about one of those

Longer stride is better. Trust me.
Unless you don't have the space for it.
