Sarah, I remember when you were waiting on the Cross Bow - glad you have it now! I'm still wavering between that and BowFlex. Well, I'm probably not buying new. I'm watching the paper to find one that has been a nice clothes hanger for somebody, cheaper and partially assembled. :D

Hey there, Jennifer!
 

Hi! :wave: I love my Cross Bow! I'll have to get the 100- or 200-pound upgrade, because I'm already maxed out on the legs with some exercises -- but other than that, I'm very happy! (I'm debating between "upsizing" to the Platinum that comes standard with 100 more pounds, or just paying outright for the additional bows. We'll probably end up going with the Platinum -- comes standard with 100 more pounds -- since the warranty covers picking it up from our home free of charge and the newer model has a nice squat station as well -- not to mention that trainer gizmo.......and the price for it would be $100 more than the extra bows! The assembly wasn't NEARLY the nightmare I'd been led to expect -- only like 3 hours and not rocket science.) Whichever route we take, I feel good about our choice of brand.

Great idea getting the machine used....I love that! I got a great deal on my treadmill at Play it Again Sports. Best luck to you whichever brand you end up with :crossed: and I hope you get a good deal on a great machine!

I'm thinking I read there were problems with some of the platinum buttons - and then they had to pack it up and send it back. That is what scares me. Repacking! I can't even pack a blanket back in it's plastic case from Target. I'd never get the Crossbow in a box.

We're getting our crossbow soon, we were going to order it this week and make payments but we've decided to wait til August and Pay it in full and not have payments hanging over our head. So untill then I'm dumbbelling it lol! I can't wait though I am so excited!! Sarah and Jennifer we can all be crossbow buddies ;) lol. Yikes I'm getting corny probably time to hit the sack!
Sleep well Girls!!

I like to change up my exercise routines a lot too. It keeps the exercise effective that way and helps with the boredom factor. My favorite cardio is my rebounder (mini tramp). I like doing step videos too. I walk/jog in the warm months, but I would always pick jumping around on my rebounder if I did what I liked best. I also do weight work at least 4 days a week. I've been doing 4 to 6 week rotations of lifting heavy and lighter endurance work. Changing things around every 4 to 6 weeks is a good program for me.
