Exercise Machine Advice Needed!

For all you experienced (and unexperienced) exercisers out there....

I am looking for an exercise machine that I can buy and use in front of the television while  I am watching. Problem is, I don't have much room for something  like a big treadmill, BUT I do want some kind of aerobic machine, not just weights and bands.

Any suggestion as to a good smaller machine out there that I could maybe hide in a closet? Thanks!

I would suggest a small elliptical that can fold. I have a Nordictrack elliptical machine which I love. Great workout and easy on the knees. They do make some spacesaver ellipticals and I think some that can fold in half. I have also seen small stairstepper machines at Sports Authority.

I'll throw in another vote for an elliptical. I like my knees too much to run on a treadmill.

An ellipitical is a great idea - they also make treadmills that fold up.
