Answer
I am in the process of buying a treadmill. Be wary of bikes because bike riding, although great for cardio, can be know to shorten your hamstrings if you don't incorporate the proper exercise to counter balance. I personally enjoy running/walking myself. You can set your own pace and your own incline, these things you can also do on a cross trainer so l would go to a couple of different stores and get some qualified advice. BUY WHAT YOU WILL USE.!

which one:

and overall is worth the price? or are there better exercise machines out there? im looking for lower body workout though..
thanks :)

Answer
Ellipticals are great because they work the entire body. You burn more calories faster in a shorter time. If you're just looking for a lower body workout then you should already know your answer. Its best to train your entire body not just your legs. It also depends on what type of stationary bike machines you are looking for. The higher set ones or the low ones? The higher set bikes are good for spinning (aerobic term).

Exercise bike, or Elliptical Cross-trainer?

Jenne

What is a good, all-round exercise machine I can use at home?

I don't really want to spend more than AUD$400.

I am a shut-in, so I need an exercise machine in order to get fit, because I can't leave the house and go for a walk, or go to the gym.
I'd like to get either an exercise bike or an elliptical but I'm not sure which one is better for primarily leg-strength, general fitness and calorie burning.

Answer
You get more out of an Elliptical Cross-trainer. The exercise bike gets very old after a while, while the elliptical is a lot easier.
