Houston, I have a problem...

[Toni]

We have a Precor elliptical.......worth every penny. My DGF has used it DAILY for over 2 years now........no problems at all.

[Mr. Bloom]

Thanks Toni...I agree that Precor is a good name and Silver is encouraging me to trade up...

Doc: I like the stairs idea, but I'm afraid that it might irratate my sciatica if I wasn't careful. Has this ever been an issue for you?

I have to admit I have just sold several pieces of exercise equipment in favor of my trainer. During the summer it can be stuck away and take up no room. Of course right now it and it's mat take up a substantial portion of the living room.

But you obviously use your ellip, so get a decent one. You might take a look on craigslist. People buy these things and sell them unused a year later.

I can't run either.

I don't have sciatica so I can't say. It is hard on certain knee problems, but you know who you are. If climbing a single flight of stairs bothers the knees, don't do it again and again and again!
