Today I started training for my latest goal which is to get down to 175 lbs. by January 1st. First, a few facts about myself, and then you will be judge more acuartely as to whether or not I will be able to get down to 175 Lbs. My name is John, doesn’t matter my name, but I am 5’10, 195 Lbs. and I have a standing bet for $1000.00 with my girlfriend on whether or not I will be able to lose the weight (20 Lbs.) by the new year. I have already lost 9 pounds and I am down to 186 pounds right now. I get addicted to things easilly and before I even started training, I purchased some home gym equipment, health club quality of course, and some protein shakes, other amino acids, vitamins, and other nutritional supplements. Let me say, the Life Fitness 95Ti Treadmill is a horse! Life fitness also makes some great elliptical cross-trainers but my wife LOVES Precor and I didn’t want to buy 2, mostly due to the fear of not using them both, so I decided to go with the Precor EFX 576i because it exercises both your upper and lower body.
