I've got a recumbent, and I used to ride it for 1-1/2 hours (interval) during the winter, but I just can't get on it anymore. I wanted to get an upright, but I have a trainer for my bike, and ... that sucks. So then I looked at ellipticals because running can give me shin splints and knee problems and I was almost going to buy an Octane, but then I found the total body arc trainer (cybex) and man do I love that thing. It's spendy (you can still find demos on the iNet cheap!), but it's awesome. I really love it and I hate machines - I like being outside. But it's just got a cool motion and you can get a good arm workout too. Now, however, I'm only using it 10-20 minutes per day (want to avoid the catabolic effect) and focusing on the weights. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:191507 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
