Home Gym Equipment Is For The Birds (errrrr cats?)!

Research shows that 80% of home gym equipment goes unused after the first year. If you are feeling discouraged by seeing that $1,000 treadmill collecting dust in front of your basement television - don't lose hope!

What's next?
If you are bored of the same routine then taking a walk with a heart rate monitor can be just as beneficial as walking on a treadmill. Use the monitor to continually improve the intensity, distance and duration of your walks. Vary your route - mixing it up to keep it interesting. As a bonus to the environment - taking a walk doesn't produce carbon emissions!

And if you are still feeling guilty about not using that treadmill then we suggest getting creative about who should use it and how it should be used. Other members of your family might still benefit!



Treadmills - all the cool cats are doing it.
