But I agree weights would be a better way to go. I'm going back this week so I'll try and hunt out some dumbbells - the thighmasters a bit duff and if I actually try and use it for my thighs it inevitably catapults across the room. Right now I've gotten rid of that pillowcase effect I had with my upper arms but there's still plenty of room for improvement. I think also if I start walking into town and back again (rather than take the bus one way) it'd come to about a 3 mile round trip. I'm on a break for the next few weeks so will have more free time.
Thanks again
I think you are on the right track! Best of luck!
