Jeff Bristow Fitness Guru Posts: 280 Jeff Bristow I am trying to get fit and thin so that I can stop being the 'man that keeps getting fatter' and to help get my triglyceride count down to normal levels. http://blog.jeffbristow.com	# Posted: 29 Jan 2008 16:33 Quoting: netherland24 i can only do upper body... If you are able to get a Gym membership maybe you could use the rowing machine to get some cardio in using your upper body.
Rachael M The Master Posts: 2316 Rachael M I am a triathlete trying to lose some weight so I can improve my times. I love traineo and the very motivational people on here. Basic info: 5'9", 22 years old, mechanical engineer :)	# Posted: 29 Jan 2008 18:21 There's lots of cardio you can do with your upper body. There's the hand bike machine and you can do bag work or do the bag work with out the bag, rowing machine like Jeff said, lifting smaller weights and doing more and quicker reps. Like Jennifer (the new me) said, if you want it bad enough, you will make it happen.
