    The bike is especially good. Does your gym have the ellipticals?

    Is that the one that looks like stairs or the one that looks like your skiing?

    If you're not used to exercise, I love the stair climbers. They are VERY, VERY low-impact on joints, and you can get a higher burn at a lower level of (perceived) effort than most machines. :)

    vary speed of your treadmill. High sprints followed by slow speed. Vary the incline position.

    Do only a few mins in the beginning. Remember that you are beginning on a road that will take patience and continued commitment.
