What equipm't do I need for toning and cardio?

Hi, my husband and I have made a workout room in our basement. I currently workout using Denise Austin "Hit the spot" tapes (I know "tapes?", bought them a long time ago, but they have really worked for me all these years!). The workouts include abs, arms/chest using dumb bells, legs, butt....

Now I would like to do more. I want to increase definition, I am pretty much tone now, but am getting older and need more. I should really work cardio more, I seem to get out of breath too easy and I don't smoke.

Any suggestions on what I should buy as my first piece of equipment?

I was looking at treadmills (I don't want to run, just walk), elliptical machines, Boflex total gym.... I really don't know where to start. Should I stick with weights to increase muscle and would that help with cardio?

I am very confused with all the different equipment that is out there.

Any help is appreciated.

Hey woman..I'll try to help but I will admit I'm not the greatest when it comes to questions like this.

Elliptical I think would be fine
Bowflex would be fine if you have the money, free weights would be cheaper
You could get a tape that incorporates the free weights with the workout (assuming you have the weights)

That's all I got for ya. Good luck on your search
