3 Steps To Home Fitness.

By Matt Closson

Did you ever think you could buy a club class elliptical trainer for under $1000? And enjoy it in the comfort of your own home! Let's face it, it is getting harder and harder to find the time to stay in shape these days. With work and family commitments, who has the time or money to run to a health club 3 to 4 times a week. Things would be a lot easier if you could just walk to the basement or master bedroom for your doctor recommended cardio work out. Well, now you can. The lifecore LC-985VG elliptical trainer rated best buy from the top consumer report magazines. And yes you can get one shipped to you for under $1000.00.

I was faced with the same problem. After years of being very active in many sports, like running, Baseball, Motocross, and Golf. I was involved in a motorcycle accident that injured both my left knee and lower back. After the accident, I was unable to participate in the active life I had become accustom to in the past. Yes, I got FAT! Gaining 50lbs in less than a year. My wife and kids were worried about my health and rightfully so. I started my fitness routine many times over the next year, only to quite after a week or so do to the pain. So I joined a health club to take advantage of the low impact activities such as swimming and weight lifting. After about a month of driving out of my way to stand in lines for the fitness equipment I wanted to use and getting home way passed dinner time, I called it quits.

I decided to do my workouts at home. "Push ups" and 'sit ups' mostly. My wife and I would go on the occasional bike ride or walk. It was working for awhile until winter came around. It just gets too cold in Ohio to plan a good fitness routine outside, during the winter months. I stuck with my "sit ups" and "push ups" but without some sort of aerobic activity, I was falling short of my fitness and weight loss goals.

So, I tried working out at home. Just doing "sit ups", "push ups," and taking long walks with my wife. I was making progress and feeling purity good about my self until winter came around. It just got too cold to get out and walk everyday. I still did my "sit ups' and "push ups' but without some kind of aerobic activity, I just wasn't making the progress I wanted.

Resolving to the fact that I was going to be fat for the rest of my life, at least during the Ohio winters. I gave up my quest to regain my fitness. Then one day as my wife and I drove passed the fitness club I had once been a member of, I saw that they had gotten a new line of aerobic machines. Come to find out they were Elliptical machines, I knew right away that I could do that exercise. But how much do they cost? I was determined to find one for me, if I had to build it myself.

Then one day as I was driving to the mall. My wife and I passed by a brand new Worlds gym. Looking though the big plate glass windows, we could see in the front row people on a machine I had never seen before. (I guess we need to get out more) You guessed it, we were looking at elliptical trainers.

I started to research the elliptical trainer. What I found was, the club class elliptical trainers were why too expensive. The home versions were just too flimsy and cheaply made. The quest came to an end when I found the Lifecore LC-985VG. A price I could afford, made of quality marital. This elliptical trainer can handle people of varied heights and weights with a max weight of 300lbs, 50lbs more than most elliptical trainers on the market. And the rest is history. I now work out 4 to 5 times a week and feel better than ever. I have less mood swings. I sleep better. Most of all my wife really seems to enjoy me more! - 30553
