Been There, Done That: The hunt for the perfect workout machine

Since my beloved elliptical died, I’ve gone through various pieces of exercise equipment with varying degrees of success. Most have been very limited amounts of success. I tried to keep my elliptical functioning, but literally the wheels were falling off. Eventually, I had to admit it was just scrap metal and out it went from my exercise space in our football room.

In that room, every flat surface and all the walls are lined with memorabilia Dave and I collected from childhood through the present. Cleveland Browns for him, Pittsburgh Steelers for me and a giant flag that says “House Divided.” Watching football games in that room inspires me to get moving with my exercises.
