i put my gazelle together!!

i was a little hesitant to open the box because in most of the ratings online the people really *****ed about the assembly. i found it to be pretty easy actually. i did it "all by myself", and it took me about 50 minutes. now the issue is to use it!! it is much harder than it looks. i have to watch the dvds that came with it, and i only glanced over the oweners manual. i started to try it with the resistance thingys on it, but then i read that you are supposed to start with no resistance. thank goodness, i could barely do five minutes without huffing and puffing with the resistance on. now i just have to come up with a routine and stick with it. felicia, if you have any advice i'd be happy to hear it. have a great day everyone, patricia p.s. phil didn't see his shadow, so that means an early spring... woohoooo!!

It took us only about 30 mins to put together and that included the help of my then 5year old lol. I was worried about it to but in the end it was harder getting it out of the stupid box then actually putting it together. Advice: Jump on and go! lol Thats really all there is to it!! *hugs* Felicia

do you use it with those resistance things on?

Nope. Wont add them until I can do 30 mins at a time easily =). That and I don't want to build anymore muscle then I have to until I have lost most of my weight. Building strength is fine but those will build the muscle on you for sure. Felicia

oh thank you thank you... i don't have time to start today, and i was so worried that i should be using the resistance. i'm going to try to start tonight when i can read the book and look at the dvd. i am hoping to start with ten to fifteen minutes twice a day.... i think! i need to run out and get some things for my shoes that someone showed me last night. i am trying to avoin needles in my heels for plantars faciitus. out i go again... patricia

WooHoo!!! I am jumping on the band wagon and I am going to get mine in 2 weeks (after tax return comes in). I can't wait, I already have it picked out. We can all have a gazelle party Molly
