Working out

I have to say that when it comes to working out, you really have to just DO it at some point and stop buying gadgets that you think will motivate you by having them in your living room, in front of your tv. For example, I love elliptical machines at the gym. Those are the machines I go for. Instead of waiting until I could afford a really, really nice elliptical that would allow you to do different levels of resistance and different programs, I suffered from that impatient, gotta have it this second attitude and wasted money on a cheaply made one where the resistance is done by a knob and there are no different levels. Let me tell you I used it about six times and could not get it to stop squeeking, no matter what I did. I also couldn't figure out the resistance. It's now collecting dust amongst my other "This is THE time I get in shape" purchases like my beachbody workout collection, my pilates dvds, my Biggest Loser workout dvds, my weighed jump rope, etc. They are all great tools but unless you make yourself use them until they become habit, they are not going to help you,
