My elliptical arrived a little bit ago. What I didn’t realize is that it has to be put together! Holy crap there is a lot of parts. Oh Hubby….. HELP!!! It looks like exercise equipment blew up in my living room! I’ll get a good workout just getting this put together. I’m sure it will all be worth it in the end. I’ll be healthy. The doc will be happy. All will be good with the world.
The shipping company was great. They called before they got here to make sure I was home and they brought it inside for me so I didn’t have to fight and struggle with that box.
My hands are frozen from removing all the parts from the box. They were ICE cold! It’s 30 degrees outside right now and I’ll bet it’s been sitting in either a cold warehouse or truck all night and it was about 12 when I woke up this morning.
I know what I’ll be doing all evening after hubby gets home! I’ll post more pictures and stuff after it’s all put together.
WOW, that’s a TON of parts! Hopefully it’s not too complicated to put together! I can’t wait to hear how well this works out for you! CONGRATS!
Holly.. thanks! I just called hubby at work and told him there was a catch with the elliptical that it was in pieces then proceeded to say “I love you”. He laughed and said he’ll bring home the tools to put it together.
Ugh. I had the worst experience putting one of those together for my cousin. Good luck on it. At least better luck than me.
All I can say is have fun!! You won’t have to use the machine after your done, you will have already had your work out. lol
Hey Charlotte!! That’s great and not great…depending on how handy you would be with all those parts. ACK!!! But it is great that you got the review and the elliptical. Glad, too, that you have hubby to call and put it together. There was a time when I would have tried to put stuff like that together but no more. My hubby does that!!!! Whew!
Once again, grats to you for your win and I suspect you really will be winning when you can get on that thing and get exercising!!! Oh yeah!
Kim: Ain’t that the truth!
Jaz: Between hubby and I we can figure it out!
Tony: Thanks! Hopefully we won’t need a whole lot of luck
Oh my. I haven’t even opened my box yet cuz I was out all day. Holy schmolies that’s a lot of parts! LOL
We will definitely be getting a workout just putting it together! hahahaha
Kat: yes we will LOL. I won’t be getting mine together until tomorrow. Hubby wants to be well rested before tackling that.
Wow…you’ll get a workout just putting it all together…
Hi Charlotte – Sorry it’s been so long –
You don’t need to put it together. Just lug the pieces back and forth from one side of the room to the other every day.
Fab: yep… it was quite a workout getting it together. Hubby says the 1st time is just practice.. then you take it apart and put it together right. LOL
prying1: Welcome back!
LOL. It’s all together and looking and working good!
Sorry I didn’t post my idea in time to save all that work of putting it together. Hey! – I see it has wheels on it. Now you can just roll it back and forth every day.
Don’t let it become a repository for shirts and towels.
prying1: Oh.. no… it’s in the living room.. It might hold my purse.. no shirts or towels! lol
OMG! That thing looks VERY intimidating! I sure hope you didn’t wear yourself out totally just putting it together!
Going to check the rest of your blog to see if you have anything new to report.
Hugs,
Maggie
Maggie: Hubby did most of the assembling so he got his workout!
