i'm thinking of buying a cross trainer to use at home. im trying to loose weight and walk daily but need more, i am 40 mins away from a gym so thats not really an option. im not sure what the best piece of home fitness equiptment is, any suggestions?? i want to loose weight and generally tone up (the normal belly, thighs etc). any info would be great,
cheers

Hi. I purchased a cross trainer and it is great. I found a 15 minute go on it was all I need to get in shape(i have fallen off the wagon at the moment,had visitors here and not comfortable using it infront of others) But other than that it has been great. i would get up give bub his breakky and while he was happy go for 15 minutes then wait a little while and have my breakky. the guy that i got it off said this was the best way to use it. or at least dont use it within 4 hours of eating. so that your body attacks the fat cells,not the food it is digesting. It has been wonderful.
