Oh my it is amazing! It's so light on the body as a workout but as opposed to an hours walk the 10 mins on the cross trainer actually feels like a workout.
I love the low impact as do my boobs and my back and my legs. It's exactly what I needed and I am so so SO glad I got the cross-trainer instead of a treadmill.
Ahhh it's bliss. Now I can understand fitness junkies. The way I feel after ten minutes on the damn thing - okay entirely stuffed to be honest, but just PUMPED! I was a tad hungover this morning and I couldn't have felt better after I jumped on.
I was really apprehensive because it's so huge in our little house but glad we made the decision to get it. It's so much better for me that running or even walking... I can do it for longer than thirty seconds without wanting to keel over from pain! Low impact on the joints and oh totally the best.
Woohoo! Awesome CM I have a cross-trainer too and it's bloody fantastic! Love the low-impact and even better I can jump on it when the weather outside is bad.
Ohhh sounds like just what I need too....
Do you mind if I ask -
Did you rent or buy? What brands and approx cost are they?
Cheers - keep up the good work!
Mine was exxy but we got it on a payment plan thingy... That said I couldn't care less about the $$$ cos I know I would spend every cent to lose this weight. I just knew I wasn't buying something from K-Mart again and didn't have the cash outright to go to a fitness warehouse. So we probably went the more expensive route but I feel good about it so it's sort of 'whatever'.
It's so great Mel, it's like gliding on it, but you're working out so it doesn't hurt as much. Just the exercise part hurts I think it's most akin to cycling without the sore backside!
ETA: Mak we went through GoFit. It's like a hire-purchase agreement thing. Pay as you go but interest free. They use Certegy Ezi-Pay as their financers. Ours is $1799 over 30 months. I have seen them starting at around $800 at fitness stores and $300ish at K-Mart. I found almost the one we have on a fitness website for $1699. Im still pretty gobsmacked that I agreed to pay that much but i would do it to shift our weight (80kg between the two of us)
