Lately, I've been craving the ability to work out, but I wasn't about to get a gym membership. So, I decided on the second best thing: I bought an elliptical machine!
I ordered it online at Walmart and had it delivered to the store closest to me. It was HEAVY! I needed an associate's assistance to load it in my car, and my roommate's help to get it up to our apartment. I assembled it all by myself, which took me about 2.5-2.75 hours. I felt really accomplish that I was able to finish it.
Pros:
- Space saver
- Lightweight
- Wheels at the front for mobility
- Fairly quiet - good for upstairs apartment - it won't bother the people downstairs!
- Sleek design
Cons:
- Needs a height requirement - I'm barely 5'1" and the handlebars are way too high! The picture on the website was very misleading - the model must have been close to 6 feet to be able to be taller than the handlebars!
Anyway, I was only able to last for 10 minutes today. I did just over a mile. Tomorrow, I'll aim for at least 1.5 miles and go from there in the coming days. Check out the before and after I posted on Instagram last night :)
