hi all

i have just bought one and think its great and does auto incline..my question is tho.. i am trying to go on it for 30mins every night, i do it on a set programe which takes you into a fast walk on an incline then the last 6mins into a jog...... How long will it take for me to get toned up this way and also will it tone up other wobbly bits like back and hips lol

I don`t think it will tone you up but it will help your cardio-vascular fitness and you might lose weight.

[honey33]

oh right ... well it will get me fit if nothing else then lol.....

Well, it getting you fit is the best part of it because it`s helping your heart and lungs. It might tone your legs though..

It will exercise your legs plus heart and lungs. for purely aerobic (heart and lungs) use a heart monitor and go for a pulse rate of about 180 minus your age, usually a quick walk. Don't forget to eat and drink properly after exercise to aid recovery.
