Slightly obscure reference anyone? (^_^)
About a month ago, maybe two, I ordered a Bowflex machine. They are pricy, so I only ordered one of the low end models. Still, it does over 60 exercises and I've only been using about 20 of those so far. I purchased this after doing the math and considering the potential value in my health which was great. This has been on my mind for many years and is way overdue. So anyway, rambling aside I bought it and have been using it almost nightly.
It is nice to feel the way I felt in high school again. No, I don't mean healthy; I mean "in pain". It's nice to feel the "burn" and then ache for a few days. I know that pain and I know it means I'm growing again, getting stronger again. It will be a long time before I look like the guy on the box (Ha-Ha), but I'd settle for less.
Unfortunately, a weight lifting machine doesn't do much for fat burning in the problem areas and it doesn't help with cardio much, but that is manageable through other less costly venues. Health and fitness isn't something people would peg me for I think, but it has always been on my personal list of important things. Motivation is not hard to come by, but endurance in the long run is something else. We'll see...
