A Different Kind of Jones

The other thing I've been using is a Bowflex. I'm not normally one to buy things sold in infomercials or direct from the manufacturer, but I did invest in one after much research. I'm able to do a ton of strength training and semi-cardo activities using only my upper body & my good leg.

Any of the strength training machines, or free weights for that matter, work great. But you definitely have to use them.

Strength training is good because it builds muscle, and muscle is a metabolically active tissue, which basically means it burns calories just being there. Fat on the other hand, just sits there.
