Summer Most Heat Moon
Selling used exercise equipment. Over the last six to nine months I’ve revised my workout 
routine using P90X resistance and high intensity aerobics. This new combination, which I prefer over everything else I’ve done, takes 3 sessions of about an hour a week. My Landice treadmill, free weights, a bench and a pull-up bar are all I need. The multi-exercise Vectra 1850 and the Parabody legpress don’t fit in any more, are heavy and there is no reason to move them.
But. Exercise trends have changed since 2004 when I bought the Vectra with money from my dad’s estate, moving more in the direction I’ve taken myself. That reduces the market for Vectra like equipment to almost zero. Plus it’s big. So, I’ll try to use it for barter with one of the workers we hire over the coming months.
The Parabody is an excellent and functional apparatus, too. 2nd Wind exercise may buy or deal for both of them. Still, these are instances, as you might imagine, where the retail price and the wholesale price diverge quite a bit. Kate has the right attitude. We’ve had 
good use from both machines. I used the Vectra daily for many years and used it a lot right after my Achilles surgery for rehab. The leg press likewise. It’s only recently they’ve been supplanted by my free weight work. When you add in ten years of use, the elimination of expensive gym memberships and travel time to and from a gym, we’ve more than gotten our value out of them.
This is just part of the process of decluttering and reordering our lives.
