Good morning Fiona! Thanks for reading. It still amazes me that people do venture in for a peak

A nordictrack is a cross country ski machine. There are many on the market, but nordictrack has been making them for about 30 years and they are workhorses. I use mine just about every day and have done so since I got it in 1996; it has taken a lot of punishment! Its good aerobic exercise and its soft on the old knees and joints. It does take some getting used to though; at first you feel like you're going to fall off.. but like anything practice makes perfect. Here's a picture of one: http://www.nordictrack.com/cgi-bin/...3&rootcat=46525 unfortunately the gentleman on the skier doesnt come with it

Yesterday:

35 minutes workout on nordictrack medium intesity
5 minutes cool down / stretching

No resistance training, bakes pies and cakes for this weekend instead

P.S. Shondel, thanks for the advice. I am not yet prepared to give up on my crunches. I've been told that they are the ultimate way to gain that six-pack; spending more money on equipment is just not feasible right now. I will keep it in mind though
