Let's face it. Some of the fitness equipment out there is a bit ridiculous. You don't need half of the stuff commercials try to sell to you. What is important is that you value your own health and fitness.
Otherwise you are wasting your money, time, and space in your house or apartment. So make sure you have a solid commitment to health and fitness before you make your purchase.
For cardio workouts treadmills, rowing machines, bikes, and elliptical machines work great. You really only need one in your home to get the cardio you need so pick the machine based on the workout you enjoy doing the most.
For heavy lifting or toning of the entire body a simple used resistance machine, like the Total Gym or a Bowflex are all you need. Good workout benches, dumbbells and free weight sets are also easy to find.
Try It Out First:
If you are unsure as to what kind or type of used fitness equipment you would like for your home then you should go to the gym and try some out and see what you like. Remember to make sure that it is a machine you are going to have fun using over and over again. Then look on-line and see what is available.
Also remember that most used fitness machines don't come with a warrantee, or if they do it is generally short, so you are often stuck with what you buy once you get it. Try to find some customer reviews of the product before you buy it to see if there are common problems associated with it.
Believe it or not, some people don't take into account the space that is needed for fitness equipment and end up with something they don't have room for. Most fitness equipment is also quite heavy so make sure that your floor is going to be able to handle it.
If you follow the above recommendations you should be able to find the used fitness machine(s) you need. Once you have one in your home you will find that staying focused on your health and fitness is easier and more convenient.
