I have a friend who needs to lose 30-40#. He is about 5'9 and 215-220#. This is NOT in the wife's area of expertise so we cannot help him. He could see a doctor, dietitian a physical therapist, etc, etc BUT he has no insurance. His knees are not the greatest but not too bad. A few squeaks according to the wife. So, what sort of exercise machine could he get? Probably not a treadmill but maybe an elliptical trainer or a bike. Which is better? Weight is around the tummy mostly. Arms and legs seem fine. Wifey thinks that the weight in the tummy is not the best for the knees.

I thought I'd post it out here and see what sort of free advice we can get for him.
