By machines, you mean weights, right?

As far as the treadmill goes, if you get dizzy, maybe you can alterate your workouts - like one day, concentrate on speed but another day, up the incline and go at a slightly slower pace. You'll get a good workout by increasing the incline.

Yes, weights-and also the ab machines too-

Thanks for the treadmill solution!

Re: What do you think of this workout?

It's really effective if you do interval training for 20 minutes on the treadmill - start off at a low intensity (like what you would consider a 5 on a scale of 1 to 10) for two minutes, then increase every minute for four minutes like this:

Minutes 1-2 - Level 5
Minute 3 - Level 6
Minute 4 - Level 7
Minute 5 - Level 8
Minute 6 - Level 9

Then go back down to your level 6 and work your way up again until you get to your 18th minute and then run all out at what you would consider to be your level 10 for a minute. Then go back down to L5 for the last minute.

This is what the Body for Life plan recommends - and I can attest that it really works. They tell you to alternate your cardio 3x a week and weight training 3x per week

ETA: You don't ever want to get dizzy or feel faint!!!! If you do you should definitely stop - it will do more harm than good if you don't.
