Exercise Equipment — What Do You Really Need?

In truth, you probably don’t need any! But, when I embark on a serious exercise program, that is the first thing I look for. I’ll bet many of you are no different.

So let’s see if we can answer the queation ‘What Do I Need?’

There are a couple question we can ask ourselves that may help find an answer.

 

OK, OK that’s 3 questons, but they are all important. Let’s take them one at a time.

What do you want to accomplish?

You have no doubt watched at least one infomercial showing tanned well-endowed bodies cheerfully going through their paces on the latest, greatest, new and improved version of something very expensive. Then comes the sales pitch –  only 6 payments of 50.00 – or whatever the newest innovation in marketing is. Then you hear ‘limited time only’ or maybe it’s ‘we only have a limited supply at this special price’. So you rush to the phone and willingly offer your credit card number in exchange for the latest and greatest!

In a couple of weeks Fed Ex or UPS is at your door with this incredibly large (and heavy) box saying ‘sign here’ and away he goes while you scratch your head wondering ‘where in the world am I going to put this’ and ‘just how am I gonna get it there’.  Oh, yes, it says assembly required..YIKES!!

So, let’s rewind and start again.

WHAT DO YOU WANT TO ACCOMPLISH WITH YOUR EXERCISE PROGRAM??

Exercise can:

 

I’m sure you can add your own special needs to this list.

I do hope now isn’t the first time you asked yourself ‘do I have room’.  Remember? That was one of the first questions you were to ask — before you went to the phone.

Now, let’s take a look at what you should have consider before that humougous box that says assembly required is setting on your front steps.

You can accomplish most of the above goals with a few simple items that don’t require much room or budget busting costs.

 

If you really think you would like to purchase a piece of exercise equipment, make a few trips to a gym and try out various machines. Ask if someone is available to give you some guidance as you make your decision.

Now for that final question —

Will you REALLY, REALLY (don’t lie to your self) REALLY use a machine?

If the answer is yes, go for it.

Exercise equipment can be a time saver and health enhancer.

One more thing — EXERCISE ONLY WORKS IF YOU DO!
