I think it was about four years ago when I bought my elliptical machine. I used it for a while when I first got it, but I started to feel ill (I’m home with a chronic illness) and I had to stop using it for a while. Unfortunately … a while stretched into several years and here I am just getting around to thinking about using it again.

Funny how time flies isn’t it?

The machine is up in one of our spare bedrooms and it’s a big heavy thing. I had to haul it into the right position just so I could use it again. Then … I couldn’t remember just exactly what all the buttons and knobs were for so I went searching for the manual. Luckily I do keep most of the instructions of gadgets and machinery that we buy in one place so it was fairly easy to find. Now I just have to find a few minutes to sit down with the manual so I can learn more about how to use the elliptical to my best advantage.

Actually if I can find some time tomorrow to read the manual again then maybe I can start using the elliptical on Monday … you know, start at the beginning of the week. Even if I only use it two or three times a week that will be better that what I’ve been doing!

Do you have an Elliptical machine or other exercise equipment in your house that you really haven’t been using?
