... what you mean about the hills. I don't think there is even 1 even place in my entire town. Right now it is covered in ice anyway and the Germans dont' really believe in sidewalks in alot of the small towns so you have to be really careful. That is why I bought the trainer, so I can work out without hurting myself. You might want to start working out on your machine. Slowly at first though.. You will feel better for it.
