Exercise machines at home.......

I bought a treadmill once and used it maybe 3 times I ended up sellingit. My husband bought a weight bench and weight set it is sitting in the back room collecting dust. I go to my local YMCA to workout now.

HI! I just bought me a bicycle for exercise. And have been riding it every day for at least an hour or more. I am starting to drop the pounds!! I am happy about this...Lori

I have a junk old time stationary bike that we have never used other than as a clothes rack next to our dryer. I am looking to buy a treadmill as when I stay overnight at the casinos I use their exercise rooms and love the treadmills. They are a tad costly so a new TV first, then a new camera, then the treadmill hopefully.
HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB!!`

Hello gabrielle,

seeing you after along time. Yes i have bought a exercise machine before. It is meant for the stomach and back. But i have hardly used it and it is just lying there. I am thinking of buying a cycle as i want to reduce my thighs and butt:(

I bought and exercise bike in the 1970's and hardly every used it. I learned my lesson from that, I don't buy any more of that stuff, they all claim they do wonders and people who use them all the time do not find that they do any more than just plain dieting.

I have a treadmill here in my room and I really like it. I still use it. Although I haven't used it in a while because I've been busy but when I do use it I run for like an hour to an hour and a half. I bought it so that I could lose weight and get myself healthy anf fit. I really like running but there are times when I just really don't have the time and when I am so tired that I can't even get up.

I think most everyone buys an exercise machine for the same purpose.. to tone up, slim down, or firm up.. but the thing is it takes discipline.. and most people fade out after a period of time and then the machine becomes a clothes wrack to throw clothes and boxes on.

Over the years I have also bought exercise things to use in the home. It starts out being used and then some where down along the way it gets stored. I have no idea why I buy these things when ever the first few I bought are now gathering dust. And I have gained weight. I also have the use of a fitness room right across the street from my house and it doesn't cost a dime to use it. I did make use of it for quite a while and then winter struck and you guessed it. I stopped going over there. Excuse used: It's too cold to get out and go do that. Than I will be all sweaty and I will end up getting sick. A person can come up with a excuse for anything if they try hard enough. I do need to lose some weight but as I have heard the hardest part of a exercise program is starting back again.

OMG, my husband use to be famous for getting every piece of exercise equipment he could from yard sales. I had 2 cardio glides one time, a ski type machine, 3 treadmills, a stationery bike, that tony little machine, I could go on and on. I have sold all of them except 1 treadmill. Its electric, and let me tell you what, it makes a wonderful hanger for clothes. I have it sitting in the basement. I have tried to sell it, but just can't seem to get rid of the thing.
I won't buy anymore, it's a waste of money. If I can't do it on my own, then I 'll turn to Billy Blanks. He'll work it off of me!! hahaha

I actually bought myself a rowing machine just recently, and am still using it on a regular basis as I'm sick of not feeling fit lol. I'm trying to watch what I eat, and eat healthier foods in an attempt to shed a little bit of weight.

I have a friend who bought an Ab Lounge, but she used it maybe 5 times before she gave up because she wasn't seeing results. I told her she had to stick at it for a while before she got consistent results, but she wouldn't listen. Just last week, she told me she was thinking about applying to go onto "The Biggest Loser." I couldn't help but laugh.
