Steve:

I just wanted to say that I have been using my e3 Fitness Grips
religiously since February of 2001.  That is when my teammates from Team
In Training and I were videotaped while running on the track at
Sacramento State University during one of our workouts.  I never knew
how bad my form really was until the tape demonstrated how much my
elbows went out and my hands crossed over.  I also found that this
improper movement was also indirectly causing my feet to point slightly
outward as they landed, rather than totally forward.

Ever since then, the e3 Fitness Grips have improved my form dramatically
-- simply by helping me to keep my elbows in toward my sides and drive
my fists forward, rather than crossing over.  With the e3 Fitness Grips,
I feel like I have so much more control.  My workouts go more smoothly
and I am much more efficient on my longer runs (this last part turned
out to be very important, considering I ended up logging over 2100 miles
in the 2001 calendar year).

In the past I would see my shadow on the ground and I thought that I
just naturally had a funny looking running form.  That is simply not the
case today.  I look like a real runner now.

I have also been injury free since using the e3 Fitness Grips.  I am
sure that improved running form has a lot to do with it.

Thanks for your great invention and for helping runners run happier and
healthier.
