I try to erg barefoot/socks and strapless, but often run into another problem I cannot seem to solve. I do not get blisters from the heel strap, but after awhile and with some sweat, my heel keeps slipping out.<br /><br />Any suggestions?

Calvin Klein "ribbed" boxer briefs work well. They are somewhat elastic and keep everything pretty well in place.

My perceived level of exertion was less on the elliptical, although my average heart rate ...

Other than regularly dusting of machine, cleaning of the rail, and oiling of the chain I have not done any maintenance to my now 4 or 5 year old Model C. Last night while rowing and trying to keep a 10meters per stroke pace at 1:58, I noticed the flywheel was dying quite quickly. It almost felt at t...

I could be interested. I see you are in the same time zone as I am, are you near Chicago?<br /><br />I would like to hear some comments from those who have used the Dyno as to its value for exercise.
