[Sportsandrec] Semi-Accessible Treadmills

[Lori M. Miller]

Kelly,

Do you remember the model numbers. I too think some of the Nordic Tracks 
have taken a step in the right direction toward accessability. A couple of 
years ago, the ones that were out there would have required a lot more 
adaptation.
