Less calories from fat, and go with skipjack or albacore, as these are the smaller in species and contain only trace amounts of mercury. If you combine all 3 of the above machines you will have a great calorie burning workout. The machine that that really gives a calorie burn is the elipticle machine or sometimes called "crosstrainer". Hope this helps and good luck. -------------- "A will finds a way" Ivan Montreal Canada

To answer your second question, if you are willing to do all 3, then do them all, but on separate days rather than stick to one type all the time. Changing your cardio regularly will stimulate better cardiovascular fitness over time than stickin with just one type all the time (im a culprit, i like the bike hehe). www.hussman.org talks about this i believe. Check it out.

(o; Okey, if you are not as picky as me, then the word is to vary! If you prefer tuna in oil then eat that once in a while (just watch your fat intake for the rest of that day). Cardio is the same; you need to vary to keep on getting results (and not getting bored!) -------------- - Nina :o) Les Victoires éternelles sont celles du coeur.

I mix about 2 tablespoons of cottage cheese into the can of tuna, and it kills the tuna flavor almost completely! It almost tastes like macaroni and cheese. Anyways, lol.
