No doubt, this is a gazelle. Isn’t he so beautiful? I’d love to see this kind of gazelle someday. But today I will be talking about MY Gazelle.
Certainly not as pretty as the animal, nonetheless it is important to me. It keeps me moving. Everyone has a favorite exercise. This is my answer to going to the gym. Me, my Gazelle, my watch, various music playlists (thanks to @kommienezuspadt for adding me to his premium Spotify account), water, and 30 minutes five times a week will hopefully result in a healthier me.
I have seen the Gazelle referred to as an elliptical machine or an elliptical glider. There are three models. The basic model is the Edge, which is the one I have. The next model up is the Freestyle and the last one is the Supreme. They range in price from $125, $199, and $299 respectively.
This machine has been around a long time and has been touted by Tony Little as the machine that works the whole body. http://gazelleglider.com/how-gazelle-glider-works/
I honestly can say there are not any cons for me other than some squeaking, which is really not a big deal since my husband is an expert WD-40 technician. The pros are that it is lightweight and fold-able, doesn’t have a motor or need electricity, low impact with no jumping or jarring movements required, I have no fear of tipping over because it is very stable, speed and movement are controlled totally by me.
The time usually goes by fast since I try to mix up how I use the Gazelle. You get creative as you get comfortable with the mechanics of the machine’s glide. I’m up to dancing and singing now. Don’t worry, I workout alone in a spare bedroom.
I’d be interested in hearing from anyone who has lost weight and gotten healthier working with the Gazelle.
Thank you for taking the time to read my post.
