DISQUS

brip blap: think before you leap (on the treadmill)

    I was never considering purchasing any gym equipment because my parents have had similar experiences. There is a full room dedicated to weight benches, elliptical machine, a treadmill, and free weights that just collects dust. I have a hard time believing that no one wants it though....hm...if you were closer...but I live in the midwest where space is not an issue for most people...

    I think gym equipment in a house is a waste of space, unless you live in a big mansion where you have a separate gym room. Even then, I would not exercise there ALONE, I'd be bored out of my mind! I find it very dull to use treadmills.
    And, if your wife tells you that she will NOT use the equipment you "need" to buy, believe her that it is not just a caprice ;o)

    @SD: Having grown up in the South where property was a lot less expensive I agree that it's not so much of an issue elsewhere. I'm sure someone will take it eventually, but not many people up here have pickup trucks and it's not the kind of item you would want to rent a U-Haul to get - so the prospective customer base is small...

    @Bubelah: yes, yes it was a bad idea :) but the best intentions
