So, I was writing earlier about all the clearing out of sheets...that was because I needed to make room in my library for a new thing. A big thing.
Um, a Total Gym XL.
Brinkley and Norris did NOT come with mine.
We have been watching the infomercials for them for years, and I finally broke down and got one. First I tried Ebay auctions, but kept getting skunked. I wasn't willing to pay the full price. So I found a place on the Total Gym Outlet that sells "scratch and dent" units at deep discounts.
I hesitate to post this, because what if it just becomes another piece of unused junk? To clutter up my decluttering room?
But so far, I've used it every day since I got it, and I really like it. It came with several videos to lead me thru the workouts. The machine is easy to use and manipulate; the attachments are easy to change out. It's not noisy like a Universal machine and not awkward to use like the ill-fated Soloflex we bought several years ago. I am impressed with how well-made it is. It is helping with strength and flexibility.
I intend to continue my Jazzercise workouts for cardio, but I hope this will give things a little extra kick in the pants. I'll keep you posted!
