Purchasing Home Exercise Equipment
By Bill Herren
I participated in a message board conversation recently about a poster who was looking for advice on purchasing some home exercise equipment. The original poster wanted either an exercise bike or an elliptical machine to fit into their busy schedule. The hope was that they could find time to work out during their hectic day.
I was surprised by the number of responses from people who basically said things like "get an exercise bike because in two weeks when you quit using it – it will be easier to store in your attic" and "elliptical machines are good because you can hang clothes on them". The sad thing about these statements is that there is a hint of truth to them.
I believe that if we make a very informed decision when buying a piece of exercise equipment, we will be more likely to use the equipment and less likely to make it a dust gatherer in the corner.
I certainly don't want to discourage anyone from exercising. The purpose of this article is to prevent you from purchasing a piece of home exercise equipment and then not using it. Ask yourself the following questions before purchasing the home exercise equipment.
Are you committed to your weight loss and exercise regimen? Be honest with yourself.
Will you find the time to ride the stationary bike or elliptical machine? Again, be honest and specific with yourself.
Where will it be located?
What time of the day will I do it?
How long will I do it?
Realize that no matter how easy and fun the model on the TV or on the box makes it look – it is still exercise. You will sweat. Are you willing?
Is there an alternative that I can try before purchasing?
Can I take daily walks, borrow an exercise bike, or go to a friend's house and use theirs?
Once you have made your decision to purchase your home exercise equipment:
Make yourself accountable by having a friend check your progress and ask you daily if you have completed your exercise.
Try to make it enjoyable. Read your favorite book, (if possible) watch your favorite program, or listen to good music. Associate it with something you enjoy
Enjoy your exercise time! It is a great feeling to move and burn calories! What a great feeling when you are done!
