Thanks. I'm totally bored with our treadmill. I wanted to find an old
fashioned wood and steel rowing machine, the kind they used to have at the
"Y" when I was a kid. Separate wood oars. Don't like the new rowing
machines much.

I hear you on the treadmill.

I started getting bored using it everyday and wanted to add another machine
for cardiovascular workouts. I looked at rowing machines and stationary
bicycles, but was advised by a knowledgeable trainer that neither did what
an elliptical does in terms of a productive workout.

The combination is working out good. I don't mind the treadmill because
it's a break from the elliptical and visa-versa.

Use weights for strength workouts. You don't need a big set of barbells ...
you can get a set of the small, dumbells and design upper body workouts
using them.

BTW ... I also do 100 crunches a day on the ABS chair with a small, 8 lb
handweight behind my neck. The results of all those Sam Adams come off
slowly.
