Advantages: Can exercise while watching baby. Disadvantages: Too big.
I have just managed to get rid of my Crosstrainer. Well, when I say get rid of, I mean sell. Yes I did actually manage to sell it and get some money back on it.

WHY
******
Due to a serious injury to my Knee playing rugby my physio recommended a crosstrainer to me as it is a low impact exerciser and is a good alternative to running machines. I found this one on Ebay and thought it was reasonably priced at £130 with some good features.
