"Fitness Freaks?"

:) Having just insulted you I'm now hoping you'll be helpful :P

Anyone who has seen my pic on Special Observe will probably notice I'm what you'd call "overweight" and probably bordering on obese actually. Before the "who ate all the pies" etc joke replies start I'd point out that it's not all from overeating but something else as well, but that's not relevant.

Going off tracks...

If I wanted a piece of exercise equipment what would be best out of:

treadmill
exercise bike

From what little I have read I know that rowing machines are supposed to be quite good, as are these eliptical trainer things...but I want to start gentle.

The only gym in town is £35 a month so I figure that I may as well just buy my own stuff....swimming is also no good to me because without my glasses on I'm as shortsighted as...erm a very shortsighted person. With my glasses on I can't go underwater or wear goggles so my eyes soon end up hurting like hell...

Also if anyone knows any good online stores for the stuff, 'cause only Argos sells it where I live, though they seem to have a lot of stuff available.

Anyone?

It was what I thought and it was a joke on my part.

[S]Joke may not of been effective

You don't actually have to cycle at 150mph to getthe car to go that fast dummies.

Although you do have to cycle pretty fast and I think I'm going to check all my nuts and bolts ;o) before I ride it again.

heh - I can just see someone doing 150mph on it, a bolt coming loose and them flying out the window. does wonders for your health ...

Damn it I told you I wasnt much of a reader not long ago I have to stop looking at the pictures and making asumptions.

where does it say 150mph?

They rock.

How is it going with your gravity walker thingy anyway?

It is both sides that are see through? I subscribed to a PC mag which had a semi naked model on the cover, but it was usually shipped off with a cardboard piece to prevent bending; the packer always turned the mag so the cover model side would be hidden against the cardboard...
