No More Pain And Fit As A Fiddle.
Do you live in a region of the country that makes it hard to say in shape year around? Do you suffer from past injuries or a bad back that prevents you from exercising? Can't stand going to a health club? Driving out of your way to get there, dealing with the crowds when you get there, not to mention the fees. Have you ever thought it would be so much easier if you could just work out at home, any time you wanted. What if I told you, you could get back in shape, in the comfort of your own home, nearly pain free with a club class elliptical trainer for less than $1000.00? Let me tell you my story.
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.
Joining a health club. I tried joining the Y.M.C.A so that I could do other low impact aerobics activities such as swimming, and weight lifting. Soon after joining I was finding it harder and harder to make it there. Dealing with traffic to get there. Then dealing with over crowding in the gym. Waiting in line for the piece of equipment I wanted to use. God, what a hassle! And don't forget the expanse of it all. Needless to say I canceled my membership before it ever really got started.
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.
The home gym? I thought about a treadmill but I just couldn't see spending that kind of money just to go for a walk in my basement. "Maybe a Nortictrac." I said to myself. I found a used Nortictrac in the news paper and went to go have a look. The guy selling it was nice enough to suggest I give it a try. 5 minutes later and falling on my butt once, I came to the conclusion the Nortictrac was not for me.
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.
