Recently, Heather Hawkins with Yahoo Health wrote an article about fitness equipment that are sold through informercials and also gave some great tips about outfitting your home gym that we thought were very useful. ?Here's an excerpt from the article:?
- "Don?t buy something you can?t touch, feel and test.?You wouldn?t buy a car without taking it for a test drive, the same should hold true for workout equipment. Until you get your hands on it, you don?t know if it feels sturdy, whether it?s the right size for your body, how large a footprint it?s going to take in your home, how noisy it might be, etc. Even if an infomercial product catches your eye, ?As Seen on TV? stores are popping up all over the country so there is no reason to skip this crucial step.
- Don?t rely on the ?30 Day Moneyback Guarantee.??Don?t buy it if you haven?t already tried it out and aren?t certain you will use it day after day, year after year. Moneyback guarantees are littered with exclusions and hidden details. Not the least of which?having a 200-pound piece of equipment delivered to your home is one thing, finding a way to get that 200-pound piece of equipment packed up and back to the post office to ship back out is something else entirely.
- Beware the ?one trick pony.??I don?t care how spacious your home is, pieces of freestanding exercise equipment that do only one thing are not an efficient use of space (think the whole Ab Coaster, Ab Rider, Ab Circle, Ab Lounger, Ab Whatever). Doubly so since studies have shown time and again that good ol? crunches are just as if not more effective than these machines and that spot targeting fat loss doesn?t work anyhow."
