Still Optimistic

So this last week I had bought a Corebody Reformer off of Ebay. I've been interested in this piece of equipment since I saw an advertisement for it. I then looked to see how much it costs. (Whistle), It was a little pricey for my taste. Brand new it can set you back about $250. So I looked at all the reviews I could find, thinking that if this works, I could justify the cost. I ended up buying a slightly used one on Ebay for about $170.

The two main critiques I've found on all these reviews is that it's too hard to balance on and that there isn't enough padding when you have to sit on it.

I've used it three times now, and I find there to be enough padding, barely. And yes it's hard to balance on, but not impossible. So far I'm really liking it. Here's what it looks like.


So aside from using that three times in the last week, I've also worked out on my regular Tues/Thurs with my friend, and I'm trying to make an effort to go for a mile walk on my lunch break as often as possible. My goal this week is to do it all 5 work days. So far I'm on track, and that makes me feel even more motivated.

My goal after this week, since the weather is cooling down, is that I want to start doing this 30 minute sprint workout that I read about. I'll do this on my lunch break instead of walking. Basically you sprint for 30 seconds and then walk or recover for 90 seconds. I'm kind of nervous/excited to try it. Excited because I want to see if it does what it claims to, and nervous because I hate running and I know this is going to hurt with how out of shape I'm in.

Wish me luck!
