I dont have amazon prime. I have trained for my first marathon FOUR times to fall apart in mile 18 of my training schedule. IT Band issues, chopping off fingers (unrelated but still wasnt allowed to run), plantar fasciatis [sic]. SO if this Brittany chick can do it, more power to her! I give her props. I remember the first time I decided i was going to run and could only do 1/2 of a block before I became winded. It as very eye opening.

My gym has something like this but it was made by Precor. I really liked it BUT you had to decide the type of stride and keep it that way all on your own power. Meaning, if I wanted to do the stairclimber aspect I had to high march. Nothing was there (mechanically or resistance wise) to stop me from converting my stride to run. If I got tired or didnt pay attention I would find myself doing the elliptical/running which was counter productive to my goal of stair climbining to improve my glutes. (|). Ok, now that I had that moment of immaturity! :) Seriously I liked the machine, but only very few people used it. At my gym about 44% gravitated towards the elliptical, with the majority of remainder going to the dreadmill and the a sprinkling towards the stairclimber. It was low impact just like the elliptical. Although I had no measurements to support this subjective observation, I found it to have LESS impact/jarring than the elliptical. Probably because there are no set tracks/hydralics forcing you to keep the predetermined stride.

Which certification are you look at getting? My wife is NASM certified and she studied for quite a while to make sure she passed.
Sorry, I am just seeing this! Do you mean the Free Strider? I've used one of them and I like it quite a bit. The elliptical isn't my favorite piece of cardio equipment but this one was nice that you were able to do three different variations of exercise (elliptical, treadmill, and stair stepper). I read a few reviews at this website and tested one out at a friend's house. I ultimately decided to get a treadmill but thought this machine was still awesome. Let me know if you have any follow up questions.
Christmas is getting close..my hip actually feels better today after getting it "needled" on Friday. If you have never had this, its like acupuncture but Im guessing not as intense. My PT sticks like 4 or 5 needles deep into the muscle. Im not really sure about the theory of why it works but she said somehow it changes the chemical compound of the muscle.
So, PT in Mon and Wed still. Swimming on Tues and Thurs and leg weights on Wednesday.
Hope everyone is having a great holiday season so far.

not sure what this week will look like the things i know for sure is Monday will be a swim, friday will be barre class and i want to get into the gym one day and a run in. If i get those in I will be Happy. Things have been rough no excuse. Work is causing so much stress and than the stress causes the PTSD. I have some holidays coming up very soon and hope to get much needed rest and do some me time and allow some healing
I jus****ched it on Amazon Prime and really enjoyed it.
Hope everyone is doing well.
My wife and I walked the St Jude 5k this weekend. We actually beat our goal of under 1 hour. My hip was not really feeling well afterwards, which my PT said would happen but I had already signed up for it and I love the race.
My weight keeps creeping up and I dont feel like I can stop it. I want to do so much more but my hip just wont allow it. It such a dismal feeling. I swam 50 laps today and tomm I will work on elliptical and bike.
