exercise machine for girl sway

So it is cold out and def. not getting out to walk,run,bike ride or anything so was thinking of buying a machine. I hear a lot about running but I am really not a runner and if I get a treadmill then I will most likley just walk on it and not be able to run the hour. I was thinking of getting a bike machine. Not that I'm so in shape to bike an hour either lol but figure it's got to be easier than running. What do you think? Which would you get? Maybe if I got a treadmill I culd try 30min. of slow run and then do 30min of something fun like zumba?
Help me out ladies need ot get this started!
Also if you have any fun free links to workouts you do please share:)

I use a treadmill and I can't run. I power walk and do inclined walking. By the end I am drenched in sweat...not sure if that is indicative of a good cardio workout though ??

I did see some ladies who got their girls were using the stationary bikes. I do wonder though how fast you need to pedal though for it to be considered cardio.

I work out in my living room watching walk away pounds. .and jog around when needed.

I dont see myself working out hardcore after I'm done swaying so not gonna spend $$ lol

I have had problems with injuries in the past, so I'm sticking to speed walking on the treadmill and the elliptical. I hope those are good enough!

lol i know rosie not sure if i can pedal that fast lol. i did do walk away the pounds before and i am pretty out of shape but it wasn't really much of a workout. i did jog around to add to it.

Yeah i know what u mean. I tend to jog ki n place ir around the house otherwise walk away ounds doesn't help much. .just getting ready strength wise si that when it is nice out..I can go for a long walk or jog without dying :-)

On a side note, I had been having severe chest pain jn the last couple days and couldn't for the life of ke figure out what was wrong as ut clearly wasn't gas
Ate 2 bananas for kuch today and feel back to normal. Thank god u remembered atomics advice regd pottassium

I personally am not a big fan of running anyway, literally everyone I know who did running when they were young ended up having hip/knee replacements the last 10 years.

There is no need to invest $$$ into this, I recommend zumba or Walk Away the Pounds or even just walking briskly. IT's totally up to you.

If you can afford it I absolutely recommend an Elliptical machine over a bike or treadmill. It's a low impact, low strain form of exercise less likely to build muscle or lead to injury, IMO, and it makes for a great, full-body cardio workout that burns plenty of calories. It's also much more fun (less boring) than other stationary machines. If you choose to sell it later, it will be easier to resell, too, as they are the most popular machines.

It doesn't HAVE to be that great a workout, all you are doing is doing SOMETHING for an hour every day with no food coming in during that time period. If I could go back in time I would take the "intense" name out of the intense exercise option because I think it's creating too much misunderstanding for people. you don't need to have your heart rate in some particular zone, you don't need to feel liek you are dying, you are just trying to help your body burn off its stores of fat/muscle for a little while and you accomplish that without having a near death experience.
