I had the pleasure of seeing the Drowsy Chaperone in Los Angeles before it headed to Broadway and then once again upon its return. It is one of my favorite original musicals containing all of the fun of 42nd Street in a new story about The Man in the Chair with an acerbic view of musicals in the modern day compared to the silliness found in the old 20's and 30's musicals.
Machine weights also can be effective weight training tools, as long as you use machines that adjust to your body dimensions and allow your joints to move through their natural motion paths. Machine weights are generally safe when used with the proper technique.
I'm 5'4 tall, weigh 135 pounds, don't know my body fat but I would like to lose about 10 pounds. Would an elliptical machine be a good piece of equipment to achieve my goals? I've heard from my friend that they work great. So, do elliptical machines work fat off your behind or build muscle to achieve a J-Lo type butt? I want results but I also don't want to get bulky in the process. I'm afraid to use a Stairmaster because I bulk very easily and I just want to tone up and lose about 10 pounds.
