NEW TORTURE TOOL

NO! We are not into BDSM..but we did add a new torture tool to our dungeon LOL..

We decided to invest in another piece of excersize equipment. We both love the treadmill and it has been getting alot of miliage in the last few months. The thing is, Chris and I couldn't work out together. It's not such a big deal but we had been kicking around the idea of getting something that will be a different workout to add to what we already do. The bonus is that with 2 machines, we can do it together. Each alternating which one we use each day. Although we both did our 30 mins on the new machine today...while figuring out the programs on it.

One thing we have both learned in the past yrs..during different periods of working out in our lives..whether it be home or in a gym...if u work on cheap equipment...u won't do it for very long...if u pay abit more, for something that is built well...it makes your workout so much better. Cheap stuff makes u fight against the equiptment, Quality makes u fight only against yourself.

Have u seen that toothbrush commercial...that actually says...it has an ONBOARD COMPUTER! Everytime I see that commercial I want to roll my eyes. Now THIS is an onboard computer!....We didn't buy this model for this reason, but for its mechanics...the bonus with a good model is that it gives u alot of programs to work with built in.

I do believe though, if we go fast enough...this sucker has TIME TRAVEL options. I will let u know once I get in shape enough test it out lmao!

I took it easy my first go on this thing, I could feel the new muscles working within 2 minutes compared to the fast walk I do on the treadmill. I am really pleased we got this one. Will target alot more muscles and just be a much better overall workout.

We have a gym less then a block away from us... I would love to be able to go...get a trainer to set us up with a good plan, use all the equiptment, the pool etc. Although we would be working out, it would be time we spent together away from the house. We worked out what a membership would cost...plus the 10$ hr for the sitter to come over...she asks for a 3 hr minimum but even if we degonciated 2 hrs...and made it worth while at 3 or 4 times a week...it would end up costing us a bloody fortune...SO....adding a machine was the smart thing to do. Had we not been a foster family ...with a client like our blind guy...we would have been going to the gym ages ago.

Chris goes all out when working out...no half measures at all lol. He can't wait to test himself with the hardest programs in the machines..he does it with the treadmill...it has really difficult up hill challenges and he does them all. This new machine is a new mountain for him to climb for sure lol.

I am a whimp...I take it easy...and do very gradual work. I know me..and if it's too hard to fast...I will just NOT do it at all. Slow and steady is my motto...as long as I get on the damn thing ...I applaud myself lol.

Feeling good after I put in my time, is the payoff for me. I am so glad I am doing this..and been consistant for the last few months...except for the brief pause after the hump from hunchback hell was removed from my back..but hey, doctors orders lol.

I have already decided that one day when we have a bigger house, we will add a good weight excersise machine...as it is now, we have no other room downstairs...it's cramped ...and the ceiling is low, Chris barely has a cpl inches clearance when he is on both machines..had he been just abit taller, he wouldn't be able to use either one lol.
