BH Fitness Cruiser Supra

Advantages: Folds away, comfortable, cheap
Disadvantages: NA

...I have always been keen on keeping fit, for my lifestyle as well as my job. But during busy periods i need to do my training from home. So i asked around and was recommended by my friend the BH Fitness Cruiser Plus. I wanted to test it beforehand, so i had a quick preview and test on his. Instantly i was interested. Most running machines have a hard surface, this one has less impact on the legs, making running more comfortable, safe and giving less impact on joints. The running vinyl is also gripped, making slipping an allmost impossibility. What i usually find very annoying is the noise machines make when running on them, this was incredibly quiet surprisingly and extremely balanced, making your training alot more enjoyable. The machine has various speed levels, so you can vary your training as well as the machine being suitable... Read review

Now, I'm not one of those people you see in documentaries who can't get out of bed because they're huge but I could stand to lose a stone or two. I used to go to the gym twice a week but I found it too difficult and it was straining keeping up with my trainer, and I felt embarassed whenever I told him I couldn't do something.

...Our Wii Fit was brought as a birthday present for my 9 year old brother, although to be honest it was probably more of a gift to us!! What is a 'Wii Fit'? Before explaining what a Wii Fit is, I will explain the equipment you will need for it. The Wii Fit works on a Nintendo Wii - the Wii is a games console, which uses a handheld remote for interactive play (simulating tennis etc). In addition to the games console you will need a Wii Fit balance board. This can be used with other games such as skiing etc but will initially be purchased with the Wii Fit software. The Wii fit balance board is a rectangular board, which the user stands on, and it links up wirelessly to the Wii and is used to improve health through balance games, muscle and yoga poses and aerobic exercise games. The Wii fit balance board measures and monitors... Read review
