Back in February, Rich and I decided we were going to get in better shape. We looked into gym memberships, and settled on Orange Shoe. But I had a hard time justifying the cost. (If you've ever gone shopping with me, you know that I have a hard time justifying the cost of anything) I mean, I could just go out for a jog every morning and get the same results, just without paying. I just can't motivate myself to actually get my running shoes on and go outside. I could join a soccer team, but I wouldn't want to drive all over Madison to get to games. We could by our own machine. We had plenty of room in the basement and I could watch TV while I used it - making it easier to keep going. I didn't really like treadmills or ellipticals. I had used a Concept2 rowing machine at the rec center in college, and it seemed to provide a pretty good full-body workout. So we looked into it. And we decided to get one.
