I have worked in law enforcement for 16 years. Ride alongs are very common, but at least for our department have very strict guidelines. There are more officers killed in the United States on routine traffic stops than any other type of call that officers respond to. How old was the rider? Could...

I love this!! So true and fits my household to the letter! Thank you for sharing this!

Hi Jeanne, I have asthma too and it sometimes interferes with my workouts. I use an preventative inhaler and albuterol. I will use my albuterol before working out and this has worked really well for me. My Dr advised me to do this. Also after beginning and excercise program, and sticking with...

I will check craigslist too. Another option I had not thought of!

Thanks Melanie. I never thought to check ebay either. I am not much of an ebay fan, had a really bad experience, but will check them out.

Thanks. The elliptical at the hotel was a Lifefitness machine. It was wonderful. Smooth stride and didn't bother my knees at all. I was soaking wet sweatty in 30 minutes. I had programmed some type of workout, I think it was a 30 min total body workout. It kicked my butt, and I thought I was in...

Thanks Angie. Since I live in a remote area we don't have gyms so I have been a home workout "addict" for 8 years. I am a 911 dispatcher so I sit for 12 hrs a day and work odd hours, so I need something to do at home at my convenience. I was so amazed at the tough workout the elliptical was. I...

Thanks to all of you for your input. I don't know anything about the ellipticals and I really appreciate all your input/advice! I live in rural eastern Washington and we really don't have a place to shop for excercise equipment around here, so will have to order online. I was afraid I would get...

Thanks! I will check this out. Pam

Thank you for the info! I hadn't even thought about the different stride lengths. My husband is a big guy too and will need a different stride. Where did you purchase your machine? Pam

Hi all! I am relatively new to the forums, I read a lot of the forums, but haven't posted much. I have learned so much from the wonderful people that post on the Cathe forums that I could not think of anyone better to ask about elliptical training machines. I recently went to my daughters...

It is a really nice drive, beautiful scenery, depending on the season. We have had over 3ft of snow at my house this year but I love it! Pam

I am in Goldendale, Washington. South central part of the state in the eastern part of the Columbia River gorge! Nice to know there are other Cathe fans around here!

Hi Emy, Have you thought of contacting your local police/sheriffs dept? I am a dispatcher for a rural Washington state sheriffs dept and a lot of people have the same problem you are having, and we send officers out to tell the subjects they are not to be on the property, or using it as a short...

RE: You know you are good when it comes to exercising..... Charlotte, I can so relate! I am new here, but had to reply. My new puppy has to play tug of war with my pony tail while doing anything on the floor. Also, my DH will call me at work to find out what my workout plans are, before he...
