There are several different home exercise machines that you can use for cardio workouts. The most commonly used machines include ellipticals, treadmills, and stationary bikes. The biggest seller of these three currently are ellipticals. These machines give you the movement of both treadmills and stationary bikes, yet without the uncomfortable seat of the bikes and without the impact to your knees that you will have from the treadmills.

A simple 30 minute workout on an elliptical can help you burn as much as 400 calories, leave your knees free of soreness, and give you an excellent cardio workout that you will be glad to repeat throughout your week. Some of the new models are equipped with amenities such as iFit technology, radio speakers with MP3 player hook up, and even fans that can keep you cooled off while you get healthy.

Ellipticals and Treadmills come in many different levels with different amenities, but you can expect to spend between $400 and $1200 for a good model, depending on what extras you want.

The larger, air filled balls are great for many different exercises that can improve balance as well.

Other low cost exercise aids include, but aren't limited to jump ropes, dumbells, and stretch bands. Some of these are used in exercise routines such as P90x and can bring excellent results. These workout aids can cost more, but you should be able to get any of these for $20-$50.
