I'm sneaky

[gategrrl]

 A couple of days ago, I went to Target, after much hemming and hawing and finally bought a mini-stairstepper.  Mostly, I bought at first for me to use, when I'm watching TV, or to use in the morning after taking the kids to school: I've been finding lots of reasons not to go to the YMCA lately (bad bad me).

What *happened* is, while the kids are in front of the TV, one of them is almost always on it now, stepping away! Heh. 



This resembles the model I bought.  Even the Guy hopped on it a few times last night. He was surprised that it gave him as much of a workout as it did - it was working muscles of his he hadn't used in a long time!

Now, if only I can get a turn on the silly thing!

The one I have is pretty stable. I have lousy balance, but once you start moving on it and keep your back straight and your center of balance over your feet, you're fine. I do use it next to the fireplace, though, so I can hold onto the lintel (just in case) for balance.

The Guy used it this afternoon while he watched his Space: 1999 DVDs on the computer! Awesome.
