I bought an elliptical today.
I know I'm supposed to be saving money, not spending it, but I just couldn't commit to a gym and honestly, I haven't worked out consistently since before my surgery in August. I don't walk NEARLY as much as I did when I lived in Tucson, plus all my parents have in the house is crap, so suffice it to say I am not happy with my current physical appearance. And I figured, instead of throwing all of my money into a gym - which I'll have to travel to and waste time at - I could just invest in the machine I use the most, buy a few hand weights and a yoga ball and do it all at home.
Besides, I got a really good deal and a 3-year-at-home service plan at Sears. Plus I was able to sign up for a card and charge it with no payments or interest for a year. But if I pay $50 a month over the next year (which, lets face it, is less than a gym membership) it will be paid off before the interest even kicks in. So I'm satisfied with the decision.
I'm also glad Miles was willing to put the thing together - even though we quickly realized the handlebars were on backwards. But it was easily fixed, thank God. Otherwise, I'd have looked like Miles trying to work out.

Ok - I'm glad you figured out they were backwards. You were likely to experience some pain working out like that... ;-)
