But not everybody can afford to spend that kind of money these days. Thankfully, there are affordable tools you can pick up to get proper workout at home. These equipment may not be as fancy as their over $500 counterparts, but they burn calories just the same way.

Those of you who are looking to build a home fitness gym in the most affordable fashion should give these 5 fitness machines a look:

There are many exercise gadgets on the market these days. You can get all kinds of pull up bars, sit up gadgets, even exercise bikes. But nothing comes close to what an Elliptical gadget can do for you. These gadgets not only let you get a full exercise in, but they are capable of helping you push yourself to the limit without having to spend hours on these. I got familiar with these trainers when my doctor told me I had to work on making my heart stronger. Well, there are many ways to go about doing that. You can go swimming, running, or use one of these elliptical machines. I prefer to do all 3 but it’s nice to have the option to workout from home when you want.

There are lots of Elliptical machines available on the market. You want to get the one that fits your budget while letting you achieve your goal. If you are into tracking and monitoring your results, you may want to get a machine that comes with proper monitoring tools. But of course you can always get a more affordable one and still get a good workout in. To help you find a good Elliptical, I have put together a list of 7 elliptical machines (lower-end to upper-end machines) to save you some time. Here we go:

4 Super Extreme Cardio Workout Machines

Whether you are a professional athlete hoping to improve your fitness or someone who’s looking to lose weight and become fit, cardio exercises are a great way to improve your health and stamina. In order to improve your cardio, you can always use an elliptical or a treadmill. While these devices are very effective in helping you lose weight, there is a limit on how much you can achieve with the lower end machines. I don’t know about you, but as someone who intends to stay fit and even improve my fitness, I can’t imagine running on a treadmill for hours each day. Eventually, you are going to run out of hours.

That’s where extreme workout machines come in. They not only help you take your fitness game to the next level, they’ll also save you time too. So instead of spending 5 hours on a treadmill, you can spend 1 hour on these machines and burn the same amount of calories. If you are looking for extreme cardio machines, here are 4 that you should try out:

Bowflex TC5000 Treadclimber: a great hybrid machine that combines the functionality of a treadmill and a stepper. It feels as though you are running up the stairs. If you think you are fit, wait till you try this for a few minutes.

StairMaster SC916 Stepper: a super stepper that will help you push your cardio game to the next level. Whether you want to burn that fat or just burn calorie, this is one heck of a machine to try.

Nautilus EV7.16 Pro Series Elliptical Trainer: you can always get more fit with those budget elliptical trainers, but this is one heck of a pro elliptical trainer that will get your heart pumping. Comes with lifetime warranty as well.

StairMaster SM916 StepMill: nothing’s like exercising on a real set of stairs. This is not a stepper for the faint of heart. It’s very easy to work with but can your heart pumping hard. Step range of 24 to 162 steps per minute.

These 4 machines give a new meaning to the concept of extreme cardio. They will challenge you like no other machine and will get you fit as long as you are determined to get fit. They are not cheap, but they do get the job done.
