I’m not sure about the rules concerning mentioning the name of products so I’ll be vauge.  
I’m thinking of buying a piece of exercise equipment. It’s a sort of elliptical and it’s named after a skinny legged animal. It was created by that annoying guy with the long blond hair (the one who lives on QVC).  
I want to know if any of you have it and if you do, do you use it? Do you like it? Have you noticed any results? How long have you had it?  
Thanks guys!

Thanks bad news, I didn’t realize someone had already asked this.

No prob. I just recalled the question for some reason.

Strange, I can remember this sort of thing but math formulas evade me…
