I'm 17 and want to start exercising on a cross trainer or exercise bicycle when I'm bored at home. My goal is to get a bit slimmer and gain more muscle but in a casual way by summer.
I'd say I'm slim but a bit chubby, not fat and not thin and I'm average height.
I just want to do a session nearly every day after school, starting for around 15 minutes then reaching a longer amount of time after a while.
I'm also planing to drink protein milk before, during and after my exercise session to help gain muscle. Although I am a vegetarian, I am sure I get enough protein in my meals. I am more muscular than other guys my age who don't work out too, but want it to show.
The main parts of my body that I want the muscle to show is my chest and arms.
Before you ask, I'd prefer to exercise in the comfort of my bedroom than in a gym. If you think I should ask a professional trainer for advice I may go to a local gym to do. But remember I want to do this casually not seriously, it's not like I need to loose weight and gain muscle, I just want to do it because I'd prefer to look slimmer and more muscular.
Anyway, my question is:
Which would be better, to get a cross trainer or exercise bicycle? Also which one is easier to use and burn calories quicker etc. or suitable for my age etc.
I used to ride a bike a lot and really enjoy it, think I should get a exercise bicycle or would I prefer a cross trainer?
