Ive got a cross trainer looking at me...staring me out actually.Back home I had one where you could really swing your legs up but this is just like riding a bike standing up with your arms going skiing....anyway...what muscles does this exactly hit?Is it just your arms,thighs and ass?I was hoping my stomach was going to be involved in this!!??

admon

It's classed as an 'aerobic trainer'.

Generally it will work out your quads, thighs and calfs, as well as your biceps, triceps and shoulders..

It is designed to be a low impact, low density workout, that will improve your general fitness.

Personally I'd say f**k it. Looks like hard work. Have another doughnut instead.

MissDemeanor

what are quads?

admon

front of your upper legs..

MissDemeanor

what bloody use is that? Theres nothing wrong with my legs.
so its not going to do anything at all on my stomach or waist??

If it is the type of trainer I am thinking of, you can also shift your weight backwards and keeping your bum tight you will exercise your gluts or if you push more with the arms to focus on the upper body. It won't really help your stomach although by burning more calories you should lose some body fat.

MissDemeanor

well...let me just have another couple of coffees and a few fags,and I will give it a whirl!!

admon

If you want stomach exercises, the best is '6 Second Abs'.

But it takes longer than 6 secs!

MissDemeanor

i think not.......i cant do them....too much like hard work.

MissDemeanor

Ok....here goes..If im not back within the hour call someone.

Patsy Stoned

I've started the clock!!

admon

each crunch takes 6 seconds if you do the exercise correctly..

MissDemeanor

Ok.....I made it to the end of song 5 of the sugababes cd!!

I actually think that is quite good for a first try.....it also clearly states that if it is your first time you should do no longer than 10 minutes..before anyone starts on me.


Oh,and my "quads" are shaking!....hard work!
