Footprints on the Moon

One of my coworkers just bought one of those total body home gyms, and I really wanted to tell her that she’s just throwing away her money, but I didn’t. But she saved $300 on it! I don’t know, maybe she’ll prove me wrong and show up for work in a year and be totally buff, but it just doesn’t usually work that way. For most people, purchasing exercise equipment is the same as buying an overpriced clothing rack. Sure, she might use it for a few weeks, but I’m betting that it will stop being used long before she gets enough use out of it to justify the money she spent. Ask me how I know… there may or may not be dusty fitness DVDs and equipment languishing in my apartment.
