Last fall I bought and Elliptical machine so that I could get in shape. As it turns out I haven’t used it much in the 8 months or so that it’s been here. Isn’t that terrible?
Do you ever buy things that you end up not using? You know things like buying exercise equipment or some new gadget for your kitchen?
I used to do that with fitness club memberships. When I first moved to Toronto everyone I met had a fitness club membership so I joined the gang and bought a membership too. Only trouble was I never went. I hate that gym atmosphere. I prefer to either exercise alone or to do things outdoors like walking, hiking, biking and things like that. I think over a five year period I bought two or three memberships that I didn’t use before I finally got it through my thick skull to stop spending money on something I was never going to use.
Now I’m not saying that I won’t use the Elliptical. It’s just that I bought it when we got Midnight and she was a tiny sick little puppy and I was also sick with my Crohns (still am) so that made it hard to get into a routine and well … now that it’s summer I’m busy doing things outside. Perhaps this fall …
I’d love to have an elliptical machine! I promise I would work out every day, or at least five days a week…please, gods of exercise, grant me this one wish….
Seriously, has anyone ever bought a piece of exercise equipment and then used it for anything other than to throw clothes on? Not me.
Investing in home exercise equipment is a smart choice… Investing in the best home fitness equipment does not necessarily mean it has to be expensive, but it should be of quality design…. Elliptical trainers provide the best low-impact workouts and are a better choice for people with knee injuries and joint problems….
I’ve been a runner most of my life, and I particularly enjoy running outside ,with the dog. Well the dog is getting older and so am I. I bought an elliptical trainer and rotate between it and outside exercising. However, when it is like jungle hot in the summer and freezing cold in the winter, the elliptical has much more appeal. Yes I use my elliptical regularly. Nothing beats running outside when the temperature is reasonable, but unfortunately that is often not the case.
