What did our downstairs gym consist of earlier this month? A ten pound weight, a jump rope and two wrist weights.
What awesome new equipment was added to it last week? An elliptical and an inversion table!

Luckily, we found a model willing to demonstrate in photo form how these magnificent pieces are to be used.
Please note Lucy's cheese on the left.
For Christmas, Eric ordered an inversion table and elliptical. They took a month to arrive. A day before we left for Logan, they finally made it to our door, and we got right to putting them together. I was able to use the elliptical on Saturday, then since we vacated our house for the next week, I didn't get back to it till this Saturday. I love ellipticizing! And it is so nice to go and invert when my back gets to hurting.
And though I would argue that this gift was mostly for me, Eric has used both machines and enjoyed his experience!
Things I love about the new equipment:
~ The elliptical is so smooth and stable--no wobbling-- just like the ones I used at the UW weight room.
~The elliptical has a speaker, so I don't have to use uncomfortable earplugs for the ipod. The music plays to the room, not directly to my ears.
~The elliptical has tons of workouts that are fun to use and target all parts of the bod with changes in resistance, speed and stride.
~Ellipticizing has long been my exercise of choice, and it is so convenient to walk downstairs when Lucy is snoozing rather than having to leave the house.
~The elliptical has lots of angles to hang at and is easy to adjust.
~Private exercise!
The arrival of this new equipment has made me a very happy girl indeed!
