There must be a hell of a lot of superfit and healthy people living near me, going by the amount of no longer needed cross trainers, weight benches, treadmills, exercise bikes and "gawdknowswhattheyarecalledfittnessgizmos" turfed out by the locals in the recent council bulk rubbish pick up.

Dunno where these "fit-n-healthies" are hiding though,
all I see are fat slobs, cellulite and death warmed up examples wobbling around the place.

For $600 I would expect trainers that ran by themselves.
Do you still have to make your feet run or is it all automatic?

I suppose the real question is, how on earth did they talk you into parting with $600 for some shoes?

Perhaps the $600 cross trainer is a gym machine of some sort; not cross trainer shoes....

Spend $600 on a personal trainer just to see If you like it or not


THEN if she's hot money well spent. You get fat with a hot girlfriend.

Oh,.. I never thought of that.
Since we're now thinking laterally, I suppose it could also be a $600 personal trainer that you have made cross, by not paying the $600.
Or by not sticking to the training program ?
Or by not paying another $600 for the cross trainer shoes they were selling?
So many possibilities.

I think we need more information.

Or maybe it was a trainer he got but was a cross between genders and hence never got utilized

Wife said she wanted a bike for her birthday, in may.

Dutifully, I bought a birthday bike. Spent a couple of grand, including accessories.

Bike still hasn't been used, other than as a living room ornament. Looks good.

I needn't feel guilty about money invested in my windsurfing.

Sigh.... my (now ex) wife needed an exercise machine thingy years ago... I'm quite certain I have burnt more calories moving it when we have moved house than she ever burnt using the damn thing...
Seems like it's a common story.

Exercise is a HABIT
If you foster good habits you will do it (with or without machines)

Anyone having gear fetishes before they get into said sport/exercise regime isn't really committed.

I have a bench press. I Can't remember how much I paid for it but it was probably around $180.
I also have a 3 month Gym membership that I've used 4 or 5 times in the last 2 and a half months. That was $250.
