Argh... the 28th of november, I placed my order for a TRX. The horror of waiting began...

 The 4th of december I received an update: my TRX is leaving the States... can't wait, checking my email every day for progress

- still checking... ohw c'mon, when does it get here!!!

- still checking... sometimes even twice a day... I want to get started

- still checking, starting to feel like a little kid, waiting to unwrap it's birthday presents... but there ain't no present!

- but today.... "Your item is being processed by customs in NETHERLANDS" ......     YAY!!! Let's hope they hurry up :)

Just for fun, I tried atomic push ups today, in the rings.

Came up with a nice variation... Maybe I can get one of my students to make a couple of pics today :)... just explaining it won't do, I fear.

Yes, this is the worst part about ordering from outside the USA, that an import duty.

Ghe, I'm not that afraid of import duty. Even with the duty taken into account, ordering directly through F.A., the Force Training is around 30-40% cheaper than when trying to get it through a dealer here. My new FTK will be even 25% cheaper than a TRX professional here in NL :).

Yes, the dealer here was also expensive. I don;t know why they charge so much more, it is not like people cannot check the price on here.

  Yes!

 

Yesterday evening, my package finally arrived... only to be taken away again, because I didn't have enough cash at home to pay the fee... that hurts :).  But I told the courier I'd get it in 20 minutes or so, and he was nice enough to come back when I got the money.

 First impression: a small bag of fun. Some small detail I wasn't happy about, but I'll send FA some feedback on that. The strength part of my FTK will be a nice challenge, the cardio part is a bit too much still, so I'll make a small "pre-program" to get at the starting level.

Now I'll just have to get the fever-bugs out of my system and I can start working out!

I hope you get well soon and can let us know what it is like for you.
