Which is better, a rowing machine or cross trainer?

Question by CuriosityKilledTheCat: Which is better, a rowing machine or cross trainer?
I’m looking to buy some home gym equipment, but unfortunately have no knowledge of fitness haha, i am getting either one of these, but which one do you think is best?
I want to tone my arms, slim my legs down, and lose weight overall. Which would help me the most?
Oh and also, could anyone recommend somewhere where i could buy one!

Thank you : )

Personally, I find that cross trainers are better, as they give more of a full body workout and burn more calories on average than a rower. They give you a total body workout and they tone your core as well as upper and lower body and they help you to burn fat too. You can buy them of lots of websites, local sports stores and even amazon sells them. Its best to go for a fairly cheap one in the first instance, as although the more expensive ones have lots of fancy features, you will most probably never actually use any of those.
