well compared to the cars that are popular in Australia, its a pretty big car. :P I have a pulsar. (small car of the year at some point!)

i dont know any chest dumbell exercises either... lol

diet looks solid. are you getting enough calories?

[Kristih2002]

ok i have been wanting to get either an elliptical or treadmill, but i cannot decide which one.
i wanted an elliptical like the one at 24 hour fitness but i cannot find one, in my price range anyway


any suggestions to which would be better for me??

I personally would get an elliptical because I can run outside whenever I want, but I can't elliptical. not to mention, its less impact, so more likely to be able to use it when im injured, or older.

just my opinion.

[Kristih2002]

great workouts!!

i actually LOVE the treadmill over the elliptical (but it makes my knees angry).

how do you feel sidebends are working for you?? I was under the impression that they might remove the definition of my waist (probabaly misinformed)

i do them b/c in the past i have lost a few inches from doing them on my waist. and i can feel them tighten my upper abs also. but it could be my imagination

Nice workouts.

One thing to keep in mind. You don't want to go too heavy on sidebends because a lot of time they will cause your midsection to thicken
