i was thinking about buying some gym equipment for my house so i can work out indoors inside in the winter.i was going to get a treadmill but im not sure what other ones that would be good. i want to build a butt because it is soooooooooooooooooooooo flat and disgusting so a machine for that and one to tone and lose fat in my arms? or one that does it all? any suggestions? thank you

    I don't really know about machines to help form your butt, but you should get an elliptical trainer over a treadmill. You burn more calories and it's safer because it's less stressful on your joints

    They have free live exercise and archived exercise sessions using them.

    It's not hype at all. I have been using them. Look up the reviews on amazon. It was the demo they have on muscleandfitness.com that made me decide on them.

    I definatly recommend and elliptical over a tredmill!! Its way easier on your joints and depending on the one you get has many different choices of areas you want to excersize. I have an elliptical and would NEVER trade it for any other kinda excersize equiptment! Hope you find/get what your looking for!

    I finally tried an eliptical the other day. As I was falling forward (lost my balance) one of the handle things came up and hit me in the face, and I rolled my ankle as I tried to step off of it... It was a disaster...

    I have an Elliptical, and love it! less stress on the joints, as sleepwalker stated, mine also has 3 incline levels, and 14 programable workouts to maximize workouts in specific areas like quads and glutes, also has 10 intensity levels...Great workout for you rear. :o) and great cardio. Also works your arms with moving handles or stationary ones if you don't want to move your arms. :o)

    i would totally get an elliptical, not a treadmilll. .... you basically do what a tread mill does everyday by just walking around. ellipticals ( some can move your arms, others dont) do more than just your average oh im walking around kind of deal. they work you a lot more in different areas that you dont normally use all dayyy.
