The World's Most Expensive Clothes' Hanger

I often get e-mails from people asking what exercise
machine
they need to buy in order to start exercising. My answer to
this is that no machine can magically make you exercise.
Some people exercise without any machines or equipment.
Some
people buy a machine, and use it for their workouts. But a
huge number of people buy those expensive machines and end
up using them as clothes' hangers!
The people who only use their exercise machines to hang
their clothes usually feel guilty about not using them for
their true purpose. But despite the guilt, most often they
can't overcome their laziness. So the machine just ends up
sitting there, taking up space and gathering dust. The
owners don't get rid of it for a while, naively hoping that
one day they will use it.
Then finally one day this machine is sold at a garage
sale
for a bargain price... and the new happy owner takes it
away... The new owner uses it a few times, and then starts
piling clothes on it. And the cycle continues.
Does it sound familiar?
So why do people do that? The answer is that they use
the
lack of an exercise machine to justify why they don't
exercise. They think there is an external solution
(exercise machine) to their internal problem (too lazy to
exercise). After the machine is bought, the internal
problem remains. A person who did not want to exercise
without a machine is just as unlikely to exercise with a
machine.
To avoid the waste of your money and the guilt trip,
do the
following:
* BEFORE you respond to that TV ad pitching the machine
for
the entire 30 minutes
* BEFORE you make that trip to the local sports store
and
listen to the salesman's lecture
* BEFORE you spend hours on the internet searching for
exercise equipment reviews and opinions
.....ask yourself - will you REALLY use the machine
on a
regular basis?
Be honest with yourself, and you will save a lot of
money,
hassles and disappointment.
If you decide against buying an exercise machine, that
certainly does not mean that you cannot start exercising
right now. There are plenty of ways to exercise without any
equipment. Some activities you can do are walking, jogging,
rope jumping, stair climbing, dancing, free weights,
pushups, situps and more.
Once you become more active and start exercising on
a
regular basis, you will have a more objective view on what
kind of additional equipment you need. At this point, you
will know exactly what machine to buy to bring your exercise
program to a new level.
