I don't want to rain on your parade, but I predict by the end of April you
won't be using it regularly, June hardly at all, and by fall it will have
stuff piled up on it. Then you will be reduced to using it on Jan. 1st.
for a few years before it goes to the yard sale. Nothing personal, but you
have just bought yourself a guilt machine without knowing it. As soon as
you get on it you will think of something else you really should be doing.
P.S. Don't put the nautilus in a location that the couch can be seen when
exercising.

Been there, done that.

It all depends on one's level of motivation and goals. Those who give up
easily fall into your group.

Don't ever apply for work as a motivational speaker. ;-)

Oh wait - your serious.

Only 17F at the moment on my backyard thermometer. Might as well live in
Minnesota.

23.7 F - move on up - life's a beach here in NE.


About 50 and raining.

When I bought my exercise equipment a couple of years ago, my doctor said it
was his experience the 90% of his patients drift away from regular usage.
He says treadmills have the best retention rate.

Probably true for most. It all depends on your personal motivation and
commitment.
I have no way of knowing, but I am willing to wager that the majority of
those that stick with it long term are over 50 years old.

Give us a report after you have a few miles on it. I am interested in
your
initial reaction.
Speaking of that ... I have to go downstairs and use mine. I've shifted
my
routine a bit. This morning was a "heavy" day with the weights and I
wait
until the evening to do the cardiovascular stuff because my legs get
pretty
sore from doing the leg workouts and deadlifts.

Going to change the nick from Eisboch to Atlas, Charles?

Hardly. I don't have enough time left on this earth. Weight lifting is a
highly recommended exercise in addition to a cardiovascular workout to
increase your metabolic rate and helps to stabilize your weight with less
body fat and more (heavier) lean muscle. At least that's the current
theory.- Hide quoted text -

Of course. :)

I got about three minutes into it when my knees said, "F you, Charlie!"
The rest of me felt pretty good. It's going to take me a while to work my
way into it. But I like the machine. It is very smooth and there's enough
going on to maintain my attention.

If your knees can handle the treadmill, they should be able to handle the
elliptical, but the motion is different and it takes some time to get used
to. I found that little or minimal resistance settings are worse than a
moderate amount. Too little and my coordination and timing gets messed up.

Little bit each day ...

I use a treadmill and I hate it - my knees hurt like hell.

Oddly, when I walk through the woods along the old
logging trail, I'm fine.

Go figure.

I'm tenacious to a fault. I have some real motivators to use the machine
daily.- Hide quoted text -

Over 50 degrees today in Seattle. Varnish weather! Our winter is all
but over.

Shut up.

Bad news, of course, is that it will warm up about another 5 degrees
between now and July. :-)

Well, silver lining and what not.. :)

Try adding a daily dose of Glucosamine HCL(1,500 mg) and Chondroitin (!,200
mg) twice/day (2 tablets each time). This combination is designed to
lubricate the bone joints.

Both my wife and I have used this for the past 2 months and we have both
noticed an improvement in our joint pain and flexibility. We use the
Costco /Kirtland brand.
