Exercise Machine to boost Cricket fitness

I have always enjoyed playing Cricket ever since I was a little boy. Instead of playing football like a lot of my friends did I was more interested in my cricket bat and balls and whenever I got the chance I would be off practising. Now I am older I belong to a cricket team and always like to play at the weekend. At the cricket ground I regularly practise batting the balls into the net along with my other team mates. I have often thought that maybe I might be a better player if I was more fit. I am a little bit over weight and although I very often try to keep to a healthy diet I don't seem to be able to lose any weight. I have also tried jogging and swimming but nothing seems to make any difference.

However a friend of mine was thinking of buying himself a new exercise machine (Heimtrainer) and he asked me if I would like his old one.  He brought it round to my house and I was very eager to try it out. He had also bought himself a new cycle helmet as he loved riding his bike whenever he got the chance and his old cycle helmet was beginning to look a bit out of date. Instead of throwing the cycle helmet away he gave it to me to put on when I was practising cricket. My first experience on the exercise machine was very good and I felt a lot better. Maybe this would help me to lose some weight more easy and also boost my cricket fitness. Every night of the week I worked out on the exercise machine staying on it longer each night. By the end of the week I was certainly feeling the benefit and was eager to see what difference it had made, if any, to my game of cricket.

I got to the cricket pitch earlier than usual and having put on the cycle helmet (Fahrradhelm) started my usual routine of practising hitting the balls into the net. I couldn't belief how much better I felt.  Using the exercise machine had certainly made a difference to my fitness levels and felt sure it would make a big difference to my game of cricket. That afternoon I had the best game of cricket ever. Everyone in the team remarked on how well I had played and I went home feeling elated. Since then I have used the exercise machine every day and I have at long last lost the fat that I had been trying to get rid of for so long. I don't know how I would manage now without my exercise machine.
