Here is a 80's commercial for the Isuzu Gemini. These days it would be done with CGI but this was not.

Working Out
I have determined to get myself healthier. My biggest problem has been the lack of excercise and the biggest reason for that lack is when to fit it in. I was thinking about joining a health club but there are none conveniently close to our house and I would hate to have to get up at 5:00am to get my excercise done before getting ready for the day and taking my son to school. Of course, the biggest problem with 5:00am is actually succeeding at getting up that early!
When I was working out on my mission while serving in the mission office, we would go to the Deseret Gymn in Ogden every morning. It was helpful to have the group support to get out of bed early enough to go. I would alternate the stair climber with some circuit training. By the time I returned home I was the fittest I had ever been up to that point. At Ricks with all the biking I did back and forth to campus, I became even more fit. Ah...those were the days.
Well, I bought a elliptical machine. I have only been using it a week but it sure feels good to get in some excercise in the morning. I think it was well worth the expense and is definitely less expensive than a health club. I got an elliptical machine because it is more like a stair climber, which I favor. I have never liked running or jogging due to the impact it has on my knees and ankles and thus a treadmill was never attractive but an elliptical machine really has a low impact.
Now, I have to be patient in order to see the benefits of working out again. It takes a little while to get the metabolism going again and reap those benefits.
