I hear you, but I like the machines because it's measured and easy...I can only make it to the rec center once or twice a week so it's not like I have time to worry about technique.

The tip-toed high heel look has been a beauty standard for a long time. Poor Barbie has had her feet frozen like that since the day she was born.

(No, I did not know him. Yes, I was wearing heels.)
