It came Friday. And last night, I decided that, all by myself, I would attempt to assemble this monstrosity with all four kids hovering about me. Let’s just say….BAD IDEA!! But somehow I accomplished the never-ending task of putting together the very first piece of fitness equipment that I have ever owned in my life. Yeah…I know…that’s sad, but true.
Anyway, with it put together, being that the assembly felt like a workout itself, I decided not to try it for a bit. Then later I got on and attempted to maneuver the thing. Man…I know that I’m overweight…but this was one of the hardest things I’ve tried to do in a long time. Also, I’m only 5 FT tall, and I think my legs may be too short. I’m gonna keep trying, but seriously, I was only able to last maybe a minute or two. I’d love some tips if anyone has any??
Thanks for stopping by Making Mommy Hot! Have a great day!
I'm Ruthie. I'm a 38 year old SAHM to four, trying to lose over 150 pounds. Come join me as I embark on this long and tough journey. There will be many bumps along the way, but I sure could use the support.

Hi There ! I had to jump in on this and let you know, I too have problems with the elliptical. I think its because of my short legs ( I am 5′3 ) but I am not sure. I just keep thinking it must be my blonde hair and short legs, I cant get it together. LOL ! I do see plenty of people at the gym, etc that are short and use them, maybe its just a thing you have to get used to
Give it some time I am sure you will do great

Hey Deb! Thanks for the info! My SIL (who exercises regularly at a gym) came over, and I asked her to try it out, and tell me what she thought of it. She said it did feel a little different than the one she uses at the gym. She’s a shorty too.
Yeah…I’m gonna have to just keep trying it out everyday and try to get a good rhythm going.
