What to choose?

Our kids have been bugging us to buy some exercise equipment to put in the family room.  They have been complaining about how hard it is to travel to a gym to exercise, and that there are a lot of times when they don’t want to exercise outdoors because of inclement weather of biting insects.  And of course our suggestions about doing jumping jacks, squats, and sit-ups are met with loud protests.

My biggest concern about investing money in exercise machines is that after spending a huge amount of money on an elliptical machine, exercise bike, or treadmill is that after only a couple of short months of use that the kids will decide that using the equipment to exercise is “boring” or “too much trouble” and that I will have wasted a lot of money. 

Fortunately, I have a friend who has all three of those machines and he said that we could borrow one of them for a couple of months, then the other, and then the other and we can see how much use they get.  And THEN we can decide whether or not to buy one!  I think that’s a good idea, don’t you?
