2. A cross trainer is supposed to exercise all of your body at once (no exercise actually does this except swimming). They tend to use elliptical movements with the legs and a kind of ski pole looking action with the arms. The heart monitor take the pulse in the hands, but isn't terribly accurate. They are quite a good machine though. They make you sweat without getting you too out of breath
