Noisy (Not very, but too much for my husband).
Can be hard work to be effective (easy to lack motivation at home).
Heavy, not that easy to move once assembled (though not as difficult to get it into the back of a van as I thought it would be).
Takes up space.
Too noisy to go in an upstairs room.
Not as good as the ones in the gym. (which are probably much more expensive).

Once on the crosstrainer you will find it's action very smooth and on the low setting very easy to use so is ideal for someone who is very unfit or not used to training. As your fitness improves the crosstrainer is capable of keeping pace with those improvements to a high level of fitness.

The graph on the computer shows how the tension is set for each program, the higher the line the harder it is the lower the easier. Any time you find the going to hard or easy just press a button to adjust the tension.
Conclusion

This has got to be the most successful piece of exercise equipment we have ...

flying towards you but you need to avoid the pandas and the football boots because they smack you in the head and lose you points! - This one is massively popular with my youngest brother who loves to show of his skills!!
Then there is a tightrope walking game and a ski jump game where you have to squat down on the board and at the right moment straighten up quickly to get a good jump score.
These games are in theory less strenuous and less serious than the other sections available yet they really do improve your muscle strength, balance and even posture.
Fit Cash
