Over the years, I have bought (and gotten rid of) more equipment and gadgets then I want to admit to
ThighMaster thingy, all the FIRM equipment (except for the WAVE, never caved on that). I bought a Fluidity Bar and while I have nothing bad to say about it, it is a VERY well made piece of equipment, but it is very large and heavy and I seriously had nowhere to put the thing so I sold it. I think we are all quilty of purchasing equipment we will never use and/or found to be just another silly gimmick. I did this for years but I got over that. I realize all I really *need* are my free weights and my DVD player (because I workout to videos). I keep it very simple now although I still have my TransFIRMer (that I use with non-FIRM workouts now) and will never part with it. Other then that, I have successfully been able to pass up many of the most current gadgets and miracle answers (my last big disappointment was the Bean, remember that thing?).
It's SO freeing to know there are no miracle gadgets and while I would'nt mind having a Spinning bike, I know I don't NEED one to get (and stay) fit
