Hey my friends! Good evening and greetings to all! :D ;) XD :D ;) XD!

Johnathan Overmyer here with a daily topic of the day. :D ;) ;) XD!

Now if you read the title you will know that my brother in law, has bought a new Elliptical Bike! He purchased it earlier today and brought it here not to long ago. :D ;) XD


And the description I wrote if anyone could relate, because before you read my topic.. Just keep in mind, let's make this topic for everyone! Not just about me.. But all of you fellow forum goers! Anyone else here wanting to share a story and post about exercise machines of sorts.. Well please by all means, feel free to do so! :D ;) XD


Now I was pleasantly surprised because Paulie told me he had spent quite some amount of money.. Now I am not at liberty to disclose that information in regards to how much he spent.. *LAUGH OUT LOUD* (I have no clue how much he spent because he refuses to show me the bill..)

But it looks like a nice fancy piece of exercise equipment. ;) :D XD!



I am sharing this because he says he wants us to both share this equipment, as well anyone else in the house is welcome to use it.

Ernie wants to try it later, and so does Ms. Gloria Ethelsteen Dwyer, Gertrude as well.

Pretty much everyone does, but he claims it's a gift mainly for me mostly because he wants me to really lose weight..

I just don't know how I will manage to use one of those darn machines.. I did years ago when we used to have other exercise machines, we got rid of them because they broke but we kept a treadmill and another bike for exercising in the garage... I never use either because I get nervous thinking my weight will break the machines....


Either way however, this new bike is guaranteed to hold me! Paulie thinks that it's silly that I am afraid to go on the treadmill.. He claims the treadmill won't break and perhaps he may be right. However that treadmill is so old and worn out... Even he doesn't use it and usually just goes to the local gym with Gertrude at nights....

So he can't really blame me for not wanting to use that machine, and as for the other bike.. That old bike could break if I sit on it, and there is no debate with that...

I'll try this new one out that he bought, it doesn't have a seat though.. At least I don't think.. I have to examine it first, it's one of those walk and stand type machines I guess...


Well that is my story for now I guess! I suppose it is worth a try if I do say so my self! :D ;) XD

I'll be giving it some tries but most likely.... Most likely I will end up not using this and just getting my ''exercise'' at the parks and my block when I go walking with Ernesto and Gloria..


Well I just wanted to share that!

Oh how could I forget! Apparently the exercise equipment that he bought is called ''Bowflex''! I have seen those on the television, that brand has been around for quite some time! A long while actually! :D ;) XD



Perhaps I'll give it a try later, he told me to use it instead of knitting.. And I find that strange cause I feel knitting is a good exercise on it's own accord.. But maybe he is right.
I mean I do get more out of breathe doing more strenuous exercises... Such as walking and even when I used to use those machines.....


Well that's all for now I guess! So that is my story! Paulie has bought us a new Ellipitcal Bike! And he wants me to use it mostly! He wants me to lose weight, and I will do my best to to do so! Currently weighing 428 pounds.. I shall see where this bike takes me in regards to my journey on the road to better health!


Share your stories about exercise equipment, friends! Let this topic be for us to share stories similar to mine in regards to this subject. :D ;) XD

Thank you and what a great day thus far, really am enjoying my visit today. :D ;) XD


Sincerely, Johnathan Overmyer

Elliptical machine will be much easier on a body that's not used to exercising. Hop on, Jon! ;) ^_^ :hug:

I will do just that Mr. Chemo! Good to see ya and glad to see you posting. :D ;) XD!

And trust me, I am not used to rough exercise! I am far to gentle and out of shape! But I will give it a try! My family wants me to lose all of these pounds! I am quite overweight and far too heavy. :D ;) XD

It is worth it!

Honestly though, I kind of wish it had a seat!
