After a year of wondering, I was diagnosed with ALS this summer. I am so far only showing signs of lower motor neuron disease, and only my legs are affected. Prior to this, I was a runner, and I am really missing my cardio workouts. I joined a gym, but it's just too hard to get there and get around, even using a cane. Not fun. So I'm wondering if anyone has advice on a good elliptical trainer for the home. I want to use the muscles I have while I still have them, and stay strong where I can. Right now, I'm barely doing anything: driving everywhere, and mainly using my energy to keep up with my 2-year-old daughter (who is both faster and stronger than me. Ouch.) But I could probably use the elliptical for about 20 minutes at a time, on a low incline and resistance. Would love to be doing this every day.
Looking for mid to high end, but open to hearing about absolutely anything that has worked for others. Thanks for any input!
