Elliptical Machine Weight Limitations

[Fb]

I'm looking into getting my own elliptical machine to use as
part of my weight loss plan.

I'm interested in the Horizon EX55 which has a weight limit of
250. I currently weigh just under 290 but that willl come off
fairly quickly with exercise. Would it be okay to get this
machine considering I'm slightly over the weight limit or
should I get a bigger machine that holds more? My other choice
is a larger Horizon or the Universal U420. TIA

Not to be overly harsh but the weight will not necessarily
come off, fairly quickly or otherwise, with exercise. Diet is
90% of the battle for most people, not exercise.

Your extra weight will void your warranty. 40 lbs. over isn't
slightly, it's about 15% over. 5 lbs. over is slightly.

If you haven't used trainers like these before, I
recommend you join a gym for a few months and try them out
before you buy one.

Best of luck to you.
