The eliptical machine is one of the GREATEST inventions EVER!! It's like running but with less stress on the ankles, knees and shins. They are definately an excellent investment. Once you get situated and used to the motion you can pump your arms as if you were jogging and get an excellent cardio workout. It works your hips, thighs, calves and buttocks. Like running however, if done with proper movements can result in a total body workout (even with abs if done w/ proper breathing). The cost is $600 and up, check them out and keep in mind what sort of programs you might want to come with your machine. Your basic machine would be more or less a quick start without any screens indication milage done or mph... however you can go more technologically advanced (as well as a little deeper in the pocket) and get one with heartrate monitoring on the handles and a full screen w/ a variety of options (hiking, training, i've even seen some w/ a personal trainer option... all you need to do is keep up). But like any machine, read all the material they send with it so you don't wind up injuring yourself. Good luck!!

I'm 37 year old white female, married, 2 kids, college degree, registered nurse.  My workout routine consists of 3 days a week of Curves machines for 30 minutes, and 2 days a week of cardio (treadmill, stationary bike) for 30 mintues.  It seems to be working for me!

I love the elliptical machine so much I bought one!  :)  It really works on your gluts, and is a great all over workout since you can move your arms and your legs. \n\nFor weight machines, I don't know what it's called, but you're face down with your upper thighs being supported by a padded bar.  Then you're lifting weights with a bar that's on the back of your ankle by bending your knee.  Hope this helps!  Enjoy your workout.  :)

About 12 years ago, I bought a weight lifting machine called the Gravity Edge.  It was supposed to use your own body weight to lift.  It worked great, only cost about $400 but I lost interest after a few months.

I'm an amateur cyclist - a bike racer. I have had lots of professional massages over the years by RMT's and students and a few girlfriends.\n\nI like a person who is able to get deep in the tissue but knows how to warm up and loosen up first. I like someone who has worked on fit people instead of old ladies and housewives, so understands where we get sore and exactly how much pressure we can take because we know how to breathe and relax. \n\nI like a room where the temp can be controlled effectively - sometimes its too hot, more often its too cold. \n\nI like someone who can budget the time effectively, so that I get a full, useful massage but the trouble spots get enough attention. \n\nThanks for asking, it's really hard to find someone good; there are lots of mediocre RMT's out there.

It all depends on you. Everybody has his or her opinions about many different exercising equipment. I for one just like the plain old exercising.

If you have gym access lift weights!! Use the Leg press, Leg extension, leg curl, Hip abduction/aduction, and the rower. For cardio try using the eleptical. I find that it sculpts my legs fast.

I have an elliptical.  It's fun, it works, and it gives a great workout.  I have one I got for around $800 from Dick' Sporting Goods online, so you aim for a nice one, but I wouldn't buy one without trying it out.  Go to your local Y and work out on one -- see if you like it.

I think it all works if you actually use it.  I like the treadmill.

Honestly, it depends on the toy.  One of the toys I have kinda looks like a cane.  Not so much a candy cane but the end curves up :-) It's like heaven on a stick.  But at the same time I use my hand for rubbing.  It feels AWESOME.  \n\nBefore I got my wonderful toy I used just my hands (one on top and one down under) and it was nice too.  I guess it all depends on what kind of orgasm you want to achieve.  \n\nThe hands work nice but the toys DEFINITELY feel alot better for me :-)\n\nHope that helps.

I workout. I turn on the ipod and get on the elliptical trainer for about 30 or 45 minutes. I'm in my own world when i am working out. I tune everything else out. It clears my mind.

i recently went to a "special store" and found one of the best products i could have bought. it is called a rabbit, and it is one of the best and most exciting thing i've tried. it has both and internal and external stimulator and although the price is a little much, it is EXTREMLEY worth it! hope this helps :)

Animal muscle tissue is fascinating, when you learn how it works or "clenches". The process by which muscle clenche and release seems rather complicated to learn about.  But, it's worth it.  I believe there's a possibility for alternative energy stemming from the principles for how muscles work.  I wish all engineers had to learn about anatomy and physiology.  Here are the three easiest sites I could find. You might buy a used entry level human anatomy and physiology textbook and just start at the beginning, don't try to remember all the names of everything.  But start with cells and move up to muscle tissue early in the text. It's amazing stuff. Excellent question and sense of curiosity:\n\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscle_contraction\nhttp://users.rcn.com/jkimball.ma.ultranet/BiologyPages/M/Muscles.html

That's a good choice, but the machine you like and use is the most effective; for me it's a treadmill. You can buy machines used...I agree, it beats the gym and you can just get up and get going. Works for me. \n\nA while ago, people swore by the ski machines, but they are a bit hard to use. So they fell in disfavor. But they do give you low impact and use the upper arms, as well.\n\nMany people swear by those elliptical climbers and they do take up a bit less space than a treadmill.\n\nBut overall, a treadmill is best. You can walk, run, and some even do hill programs. Weight bearing exercise is best, and walking is natural motion.

I really like to use the row machine or the escalator like stairmaster for 15 minutes.  They get my heart rate up and my muscles warmed up nice.  Then, I usually run or the use the elliptical for 30 minutes and finish off with a 5 minute cool-down.
