I have worked on treadmill for a while, possibly three or four years. Not regular exercise, I went to gym when I feel it is necessary. I am approaching 40s, and would like to lose some weight. I am 5'3'', 125Ibs. Believe it or not, I gained about 10 pounds since I came here. Forgot to mention that I originally came from China, and I am petite here. In my country I am medize size.
I plan to restrore to my original weight, which is, I plan to lose 10pounds. I noticed that I put on most of my weight around my hip and waist area.
Any suggestions are welcome.
I have decided on a tredmill, I think I will get a better cardio workout a be more likely to loose the weight. Thanx
I have a treadmill and an elliptical. I have found that the treadmill (or even walking outside) helps improve my energy and keeps my weight down, while the elliptical (which I use only two or three times a week) seems to help build muscle tone and strength. If I had to choose only one, I guess I'd go with a treadmill that has an incline; that way, I could get aerobic workout and could also walk some with the incline for a little more muscle workout. For me personally, I am also more likely to keep up with my exercise regimen when I use the treadmill than the elliptical. I know that when I keep up with my walking, I have no trouble with my weight. I really think that my daily walks helped me to have easy childbirths and helped me lose weight quickly after after the births of my children. Please post your decision.
not sure if i can help you make that decision, i have a treadmill and i run outside. i just saw on an infomercial that bowflex ( i think it was them ) have a treadmill/elypitcal. it looked pretty cool. i also just read a brisk 20 minute walk 5 times a week can take off an xtra 15 a year. just thought i would share.
