Is the Gazelle worth it?



Recommended Posts

Has anybody used the Gazelle? How do you feel about it and where did you get it? what did you pay and what model?

Oh and has any body gotten the chung shi shoes?

I absolutely hate to exercise and need all the help I can get.

Exercise is a habit like anything else. When you force yourself to do it, it's not so bad in a short time. I used to absolutely hate it but now I don't mind it and feel better when I'm doing it. I used to swear under my breath as I felt like Fred flinstone (running like hell and not going anywhere) on my treadmill. Now I look forward to it.

We all have to do things in life that we don't like. I don't like paying bills every month but it's just one of those things that has to be done. Same with cleaning the house, laundry, etc. You just have to do it even if you don't like it.

I get bored on my treadmill so I got a DVD player for that room and I watch movies. I splurge on Amazon.com: Online Shopping for Electronics, Apparel, Computers, books, DVDs & more and eBay - New & used electronics, cars, apparel, collectibles, sporting goods & more at low prices for movies that I'll like. If I am watching a 2.5 hour movie and I'm tired and want to quit I won't let myself watch the end of the movie unless I'm running/power walking. I got a blue tooth thinger for my cell phone and I chat on the phone while I power walk, I read books, I fill my time so I'm not thinking about being bored. I meditate, I do all kinds of things to keep my interest. It's really no big deal now. And this thing about no time? No such thing. There is ALWAYS time for a bit of exercise. Even 20 minutes is better than nothing, 30 is good, 45 is ideal - daily.

Really, the bottom line is that you can spend lots of time looking for the right exercise and tons of research "looking into" various methods but the key is to just get out there and get it done.

It's like a treadmill, I've seen people research for months on the various treadmills and brands out there, they go to stores every weekend looking for just the right one. All they are doing is keeping themselves so busy with mindless busy work they can't possibly make time to get out there and get their large back side moving.

Just get out there and do it. Get a treadmill. If you can't afford one, go to a gym. If you can't afford that then walking outside is free. Too hot? Go early in the mornings. Get up an hour earlier, go to bed an hour later, take the family, make it family time. Just get out there and get it done.
