Are you finding it harder and harder to find the time to say fit. Does you check book see the gym more than you do? Ever thought to yourself, “there has to be a more convenient way to stay in shape” but ruled out home fitness equipment due to the cost and the space needed to have you own home gym? What if I told you, you could get a full body workout in the comfort of you own home for less than $1000.00? With something that will more than likely last you the rest of your life. Interested? Read on.
I am a 40 something year old man. I have a bad knee from an old motorcycle accident. I had problems with lower back pain. (do to my beer belly I’m sure) Because of my pains, it was very hard to participate in high impact sports like running or basketball. Even softball was a challenge. For years I would start my new workout plans only to stop after a week or two due to the pain. I tried joining a local health club to participate in other low impact activities such as swimming and weight lifting. But, after driving there, waiting in line to use the different machines it was taking too much time away from my family.
Determined to get back in shape. I started my own workout routine at home, around my families schedule. Push ups and sit ups mostly. Long walks when my wife and I could fit it in. I was starting to make some progress. I had lost about 10lbs or so, then winter hit. It got to be too cold and too much snow on the ground to get out and get the proper aerobic workout to meet my fitness goals.
My wife brought up the idea of a treadmill or something to that effect. I ruled out the treadmill right a way because I knew I couldn’t run on it. Due to the pain in my knee. So I kept a look out for an affordable option in the classified adds. I found a person selling a Nortictrac not far away from where we lived. I had never used a Nortictrac before so the guy let me try it before a bought it. What a disaster! After about 5 minutes and nearly falling down once, I decided that the Nortictrac was not for me.
Resolving to the fact that I was going to be fat for the rest of my life, at least during the Ohio winters. I gave up my quest to regain my fitness. Then one day as my wife and I drove passed the fitness club I had once been a member of, I saw that they had gotten a new line of aerobic machines. Come to find out they were Elliptical machines, I knew right away that I could do that exercise. But how much do they cost? I was determined to find one for me, if I had to build it myself.
Soon into my research, I found the Lifecore line of equipment that specialize in home fitness. Well, sure enough they had the perfect elliptical trainer for me. The Lifecore LC-985VG has been in my home for about 6 months now and I am happy to say that I have lost 20lbs. And my knee and lower back are pain free. I have to say, “My wife is really enjoying my transformation also.” I am so glad I never gave up.
The morel of my story is, Life is too short to merely watch from the sidelines. When life knocks you down, get back up and meet the challenge that comes with each new day.
