So, I bought a Norditrack 990 Audiostrider Elliptical machine. It sucks. I sort of knew it would. I bought it anyway. I could have been smart and buy one that I could actually try out first. I just went for it. It wobbles so bad and it makes lots of noise.
Anyway, it’s mine now and I’m going to use it all the time if it kills me. I’ve done two 10 minute sessions on it today so far. I’m so out of shape. So this is it! The start of me getting back into shape. I’ll work up to 30 minute sessions over the next week and start a regular routine. Sucks that it is loud because early morning workouts while Tom sleeps in would have been nice. Still, it’s here and I will use it no matter how annoying it it. To those thinking of buying a Nordictrack, don’t. The cheap plastic parts are incredibly cheap. The computer makes very annoying beeping noises, the front end wobbles back and forth with each stride and actually gets worse if you use the arm polls. You are better off getting a Hurricane or a Sole if you can afford it. My plan is to use this thing for 2 years then if I can prove I use it regularly, I’ll buy a Sole.
One nice feature: Apple holder! Apple number 139.
