Exercise Machines... A Waste of Money.

Last Friday I went to the Fitness Expo which is a Fitness exhibition held at the Sydney Convention Centre.

Friday is industry day where only people from the fitness industry can come to have a look at the latest and greatest fitness equipment, fashion accessories and whiz bang exercise machines.

One thing that made me laugh (no it wasn't all the fake sun tan and licra about)....

It was how much money, time and effort these exercise machine companies were spending trying to out do one another building machines that replicate free weights.

These machines looked like something out of the space age.

If free weights are so good and companies are spending mega money trying to copy them, it obviously shows that free weights are the best form of training.

So why not just use free weights?

Some of these machines were selling for five grand or more.

Why would you bother?

Save yourself $4,750 and buy 2 kettle bells, 2 adjustable dumbbells, 2 different weighted medicine balls and a skipping rope.

No only will you save yourself a ton of money, you'll have much more variety in your workouts, a lot more fun, they'll take up less room in your home and you'll get better results.

Better still, why not try out Bondi Fit Squad or The Dangerously Fit Boot Camp?
