I feel much more comfortable here and it's easier to squeeze in a workout in between classes or work.

I did have a treadmill once, but I wasn't a runner yet when I bought it so I never used it. It was one of those dumb "I'm going to start running" impulse purchases non-runners make! I eventually sold it and of course now I wish I still had it!

I used to have a treadmill (had to get rid of it since running on it injures me). I have a rowing machine, a bike on a trainer, a bench with weights (a bench press bar and leg press/extensions), dumbells and a power tower (used for dips, pull ups, etc). We also moved our old big screen down there so Rick can do T-25 and I can watch stupid TV :) The only thing I need at home is a lap swimming pool. Not likely to happen in this lifetime but a girl can dream. I love the convenience and also that I get to see Rick when he wakes up and also that I don't have to schlep my stuff to the gym to get ready. I will get a gym membership for 6 months in the winter for snowy days when I still feel like running (they have an indoor track, elliptical, etc) but I am already kind of dreading that and mentally getting ready for those days...Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08177308883627646456noreply@blogger.com
