My New Equipment

I have been on a big kick to get healthy (not that I am terribly unhealthy) and get the extra weight off.  I get so bored with working out that I have gathered a rather large library of workout videos.  As of late, kickboxing has been my favorite activity.  I find that it really gets any frustrations out.  In college I used to run a lot to get my frustrations out.  I am finding that I miss that.  I can't even go for a walk because I have to take the kids with me and they walk at a much slower pace than I do and then they step in front of you and cut you off and it just wasn't working for me. Greg was finally convinced to get a treadmill.  It came yesterday and today I was able to walk 3 miles while the kids played.  I will continue to do the workout videos as well because I need both the cardio of the treadmill and the strength training in the videos.

We decided on an Epic treadmill after much research.  I was not really familiar with treadmills before.  My parents have one and Greg had used the ones at the fitness center.  This one is more for the serious user than one who is going to use it occasionally so it is huge and built to last.  The papers on the book stand are from Jonathan.  One is a picture of me walking on the treadmill and the other one states my treadmill goal.  It says "treadmill goal: to wear out the treadmill."
I am excited to have it and it will be nice to have when the weather gets really hot this summer to be able to workout in a climate controlled environment.
