I don’t often have the time to go and some of the gyms in NYC are really pricey. So, frankly I mostly have to settle for equipment I could buy, store and use at home. We know that there are distinct advantages to going to the gym and working out at home, no reason to list them here. If you are planning to buy exercise equipment that will cost a bit of money, make sure you plan ahead. Americans spend about $3,000,000,000 ( that’s billions!) of dollars a year on equipment. Have you looked around at how many of us look? Do you really believe that the equipment is being used? Nope, home exercisers have a really high dropout rate. Equipment breaks, dumbbells get used as door stops. All of the work we put into studying exercise equipment ratings go for naught. So, to be sure you are buying the best home exercise equipment for you, plan ahead. Tips for buying home exercise equipment
Don’t make rash decisions. Evaluate your goals, budget and available space.* Make sure your equipment covers the basics: cardiovascular fitness, strength and flexibility. You may not need a piece of equipment for each facet. Your cardio work can be your park runs. You also certainly don’t need hi-tech stuff unless you really want it. A few resistance bands, a low-end stepper and some videos and you’re set. (I just tune intoFitTV.) * Put your exercise equipment in a dedicated room or all together in a particular spot. My exercycle is a few feet from my boob tube. Who’s the boob now? I bike while watching Seinfeld or FitTV. My dumbbells are near the bike, my resistance bands are near both. Make sure the space has ventilation, enough space to do movements and climate control. A mirror will let you eye yourself and your progress and help keep your form correct when doing resistance exercises. * Especially if buying a major piece of equipment, measure the length, width and height of the space. Make sure the ceiling are high enough to accommodates military presses or step blocks, whatever. * The flooring is important too. If you can’t buy the pricey rubberized floor, use cushiony mats. Especially important to place under equipment and weights. Shopping around for the best home exercise equipment takes a bit of work. Do it. It’s worth it. Prices vary widely, so bargain hunt. * Here’s a good guideline. If you are buying a piece of expensive equipment with lots of moving parts, stick with established, specialized stores, more or less. If you are getting weights, hey they’re all the same. * You may save money by calling a manufacturer directly. Sometimes a dealer will offer a better price. Make calls. * Buying used equipment is a crapshoot if it’s something complicated. * Test drive the equipment. Pretend it’s a car. Test every feature at every level. * My mom would embarrass us by asking for discounts from storeowners. Failing at that, she’d get the haberdasher to throw in a dang tie for free. She was right, again! Ask for a discount especially on expensive machines. * When evaluating exercise equipment ratings, warranty and service plans count too. Find out who’s responsible for repairs, maintenance and returns. * Check out safety features where applicable. This is especially important if you have kids who have access to equipment. ......................................
