Hi, with a back injury and problem knee I rely on cross trainer for my cardio work out. I realize a more effective cardio is running. Anyone here has good / success stories on use of cross trainer as main cardio workout?

thanks.

    hi, most of my cardio usually 30 min is the cross trainer and i lost about 16 lbs in 2 months and gained 5 lbs of muscles...i have back and knees problems as well and the CT helps a lot...so don;t worry you are doing a good thing.
