I thought I was in pretty good shape too! My DH thinks it is funny!

I have noticed that when I treadle with my Singer 328 I get a good workout; it's not the easiest machine to treadle.
Now, my Davis NVF, Two Spools, and Singer 201 will treadle without much effort on my part. I can treadle with them all day long with not much of a workout.
