My fitness journey started about a year ago. After having two children and never having the chance to put myself first, I knew this needed to change because my self-confidence and general health was not where it should have been.
Signing up for gym classes and having the motivation to go for a run after school drop off was not a problem, but what did bother me is what I looked like. I am not a vain person- most days I leave the house without any make-up on, but for some reason, the thought of my wobbly bits on show when I exercised made me feel really self-conscious! Having the right workout clothes was so important, but at the start it was hard finding the balance [...]
The Jet 100 treadmill scores very highly in our recent review. Today we take a closer look at another of the Jet range, this time the Jet 100 cross trainer to see how it compares to others in its class such as the ZR8 and ZR10.

Just to give you an idea of how good this machine is, whenever I look at a mid-range cross trainer I always think of the Reebok ZR8 as a comparison. It’s what I consider the benchmark of a quality cross trainer and this is for good reason which are noted below.

Reebok have really tried to accommodate all budgets with the creation of their ZR range including the ZR8, ZR9 and ZR10. With the ZR9 firmly in the middle, how well does it perform?
