A couple of weeks ago, the Old Man and I chipped in and bought an Elipse electric leg exerciser. From all of the bizillion commercials we've seen for it, it seems like it would be beneficial for us to use; we could use it while we are sitting in our LazyBoy chairs watching TV. It was supposed to be delivered a week and a half ago but due to Snowmageddon, it was delayed and we got it Friday evening.
Of course in our typical (or should I say a-typical) luck, we had to put it together. Fortunately, we just had to put the pedals on. We tackled it yesterday afternoon, and low and behold, it works just like they said in the commercials. The Old Man did ten minutes first, then I took my turn and did ten minutes. After he pedaled for a minute, he turned it off and took it to the dining room - it works much better for us sitting in a dining room table chair. You can feel more "action" in your knees and legs if you have it directly under your chair.
We're going to use it every day and hopefully work out way up to twenty minutes a session.
Stay tuned.
