Looks like the price has raised, OF COURSE, since I got mine. I can just use this, as opposed to a treadmill, because it is low impact on my back. I dont go nearly as 'high' as Tony does. I just take little 'slides'. He looks like he could actually 'take off'.  I had seen it on TV quite a while back on one of those info-mercials. It helps to 'gently' work my lower back that I have trouble with. I need to try to use it more.
Sorry this took awhile.  I do not know how to go back and check on threads I have wrote in. So I just stumble back onto them usually.

When I did inbound telemarketing, I took orders for a bunch of those Gazelle thingies, and also got to see what's-his-name who did the infomercial for it. Didnt actually meet him, but saw him in the hallway and on the production floor when he was getting a tour of our building one day.
I think I might take my dad up on the use of his gym membership ($5 to use the gym if I go with him to work out) and see if I can sit on the recumbent bike and pedal for a little bit tomorrow. My boyfriend just warned me that he's got to stand me up for our date tomorrow, so I might as well go do something useful with myself tomorrow night. I think they have some of the Gazelles at the place my dad works out at. I might get on that and see if I can use it without injurying myself.
My foot isnt as numb as it was last month, and I'm kind of interested to see if exercise will actually make it feel worse temporarily. I'm thinking of applying for a job next week (part time!) so that I can finance my serious addiction to yarn and crochet patterns.
I'm wondering tho if I should do a little working out for awhile before getting a job and try to get in a bit better shape so that I wont be passed out on the floor in exhaustion 20 minutes after getting to work at whatever job I get.
