I am interested in buying either an elliptical bike or cross trainer or a treadmill.
I am wondering which one will give me the best results and which brands are good?
Also if you have rented a piece of fitness equipment before was it worth it compared to buying it straight out?
I want to lose weight, improve fitness and tone muscles. I can’t go out walking , jogging etc as I have 3 young children. Need something I can do at home.

How long should i stay on the treadmill eachday,
to see GOOD results in 5 days ?

followed by a low calorie diet?
& i will be using other excercise machines too.

I have to get my fitness going again, and was wondering what is the best way using a treadmill. Like, should i do long periods of time on a lower speed, or high speeds for a shorter time? etc.

I only know of one place where you can get fitness equipment, but they dont have any variety.

Looking for a treadmill X) advice?
Did I ask about any weight loss programs?

No.

So I recently moved and am looking at gyms in the local area. There seems to be quite a few options: Gold’s gym, Bally, 24 hour fitness are all available. I am mostly interested in free weights but would also use cardio machines like treadmill and elliptical. Can anyone recommend one of these places? Or if you have had any bad experiences

I’ve realised I don’t have room for a treadmill which was my first choice, so I’m looking for something a bit more compact like a cross trainer or an exercise bike. Would like to increase aerobic fitness mainly, but also tone up and become leaner and fitter. I’m not overweight (5′4″ and weigh 49kg) and fairly active (fast walk about 4-5 miles a day). What do you think would be best?

i am a female in my mid teens and i want to get fit. i have access to a treadmill and an excercise bike. to give you an idea of my current fitness, i can run on the treadmill at 8 km/h for 20 minutes without getting too tired. please be specific.
