Barbara I'm a craigslist fan too. I bought quite a few items this way. It's sure better than paying full price. Our daughter got me started using it and I sold a few things last summer. Exercise has been on my mind now that the holidays are over. We looked at ellipticals last week and decided they are too big and awkward for me to get on and off. We decided a Wii would be more fun and he ordered one that should arrive today. I was on my treadmill yesterday for 10 minutes for the first time in a month. Exercising is one of the things I'm supposed to do to fight SAD so I needed to get moving before my doctor appoint in three weeks. I also did some arm excercises with three pound weights. I'll take you up on the challenge. Let's get moving. Patti - Michigan
