I'm pretty sure cross-trainers give you a lot of lateral support comparatively. That's what I use in the gym, and I do all kinds of crazy shit.
Speaking of which, when I first started with my PT, I had the same reaction I've read here so far, which tells me the program is effective (as much as a PT!).
I remember doing a hell of a lot of lunges of varying types. By the time I moved on to upper-body work, my legs felt like they were those of a robotic toddler.
