Dual-action arms, four program options and a real-time display that shows stride lengths up to 27 inches facilitate a full-body workout. $10,000 with built-in television and iPod capabilities. 800.786.8404, www.precor.com -S.M.
Expresso Fitness: The Expresso Fitness S2u exercise bike, with pedals and a seat that can be replaced with standard bicycle parts, is as close as you can get to riding the real thing. With its virtual terrain program and 17-inch LCD screen, the 700-watt bike can simulate an outdoor trail ride or allow you to race against a ghost rider. But unlike a standard bike, you can also watch TV or listen to Internet radio stations while exercising. $5,145. 888.528.8589, www.expresso.com - Karen J. Bannan
Life Fitness: While you burn calories, the Life Fitness Platinum Club Series treadmill will charge your iPod, play videos and allow you to manage playlists from its integrated 15-inch LCD touchscreen.
