I wish it were my machine.Nice machine, Kiki!
Way back when, the company hubby and I worked for started an exercise program. They had an elliptical and a treadmill in a room with a TV. For anyone who worked out 20 minutes, 3 times a week for an entire quarter, they got a $200 bonus. (You didn't have to worry about when you were on vacation.) Hubby and I were the only people who got every single bonus before they decided they needed the room for other purposes. I think we got about $5000 out of it.
When they decided to end the program the owner asked us if we wanted the elliptical and treadmill. For free. He said since we were the ones who used it the most, we deserved it.
If the elliptical dies, we will see if the treadmill still works. If it doesn't, we will buy a new elliptical.
The benefits to our working out have been beyond what we expected. My cholesterol numbers have improved, I lost the 12 pounds around my waist that showed up after menopause (where you don't want to carry it), and our stamina is better. Not bad for a couple of 60+ year olds.
I use it at the gym.
