Basically, it rarely got used and gathered dust.
I tried several times but found that 5 minutes on that puppy just kicked my butt....and it started to feel like this impossible thing that I just couldn't do.
Well....fast forward through 6 months of going to Curves 3 times a week and losing about 30 pounds. Today, for the first time this year.....I got on it.
I took my Kindle, since reading is more distracting to me than TV is (and no more TV in the bedroom anyway)....and.....
*drum roll*
I just did 15 minutes without a pause.
OMG....I am freaked out....thrilled with myself....and also dripping sweat all over!
Heading for the shower....and soooooooo excited to know what better shape I'm in than I was a year ago.
New goal: 3 times a week on the Mobia....along with my 3 times a week at Curves.
Sweet!!!!!

Doing a HAPPY DANCE here !!!
so dang proud of you and definitely inspired
My dream machine, which I have not found yet here in my new locale is the NuStep. I am stopping myself from buying the thing, because it is so well made it is super heavy piece of equipment. But I look for rehab centers and gyms that have them, everywhere I find myself. And if not available I make myself a pest til someone invests in one of these awesome machines.
check out their website, it is fricken amazing

on facebook too, simply amazing inspiring and phenomenal
no matter what your fitness level, from completely debilitated to elite athlete, it can push you to where you never thought you could go, seriously. Actually you are doing the pushing, not the other way around. ROM is increased, stamina, cardiac, strength... I can not say enough about this machine. And if and when I find my permanent home, I will then invest in this machine to have access to it thru out my day. I love it so much, I could not get enough of it when I had my knees replaced. Simply one amazing machine.
