I went back on the cross trainer and did 25 mins today and burnt off 250.I think i will do more work on the cross trainer.
forget what the machine says,get yoursel;f a heart rate monitor,when doing cardio for weight loss you need to keep your heart rate in the correct zone
there are 2 types of cardio one for fittness,high heart rate and another for fat loss,not sure on the correct term but do a search on google
best way for fat loss is the read mill on an incline fast walking keeping your heart rate within your required zone
