total gym xl

I recenlty just won a total gym xl in a raffle. Well, it just got here today.

I think I'm going to have to join a gym and go for a couple of months before I can move the box it came in.
(j/k... its not *that* bad) but the focker is heavy.

I've watched the workout dvd twice already... but I'm still not loosing any weight!
I guess I'll have to take it out of the box and set this thing up. There goes my foot stool...
Well... maybe tomorrow I'll do it. For now, I'm going to watch the dvd again. That chick is pretty hot. :)

Anyone have one? How do you like it?

Man! Thats what I'm doing wrong. They should put that in the manual... Or at least as a disclaimer.

Here is some geekersize for you. Try carring ten CRT moniters down 3 flights of stairs and then out to your car at your local college. Good work out!

Heh... I do that sometimes. But normally its upstairs. I have all my equipment stored in the basement. Sometimes I'll rearrainge everything just to get some excercise. I'll move all the monitors off of the left wall to the right wall, then move all the pcs from the right wall to the left.

I've found the big network printers to be the best workout so far. Those Lexmark Optra S with extra trays, duplexor, new toner and full paper trays are quite heavy. Much more heavy than the HP 8000s I have.

The only thing I don't like about that is I get really dusty/dirty. :(

Conclusive proof that exercise in any form causes brain damage.

Well, I finally got it all setup. It is very easy to setup and even more easy to use. However, changing it around all the time is kind of a pain... but for and "all in one" type of gym... its not bad.
I'm not expecting to get all built up from this. I just want to tone up and loose a couple inches in the waist. If I gained a couple lbs of muscle... I won't complain.

Seems like something I can commit to. 10 minutes first thing in the morning and then 30 minutes before dinner. I'll probably only do this 3-5 times a week. Plus I'll have someone else to help keep me motivated. Motivation is the hardest part for me. I like working out, I just have a hard time staying motivated.

Plus, I found out that my roomate is going to bring over a whole array of equipment. Freeweights, stackable weights, dumbells, ab-rocker, abslide, a ski machine, and a stationary cycle. Shouldn't be long before I'm back to my ideal clothing sizes.
