I bought a beautiful bike earlier this year and I think I've rode it 4 times. It makes a lovely picture setting in my kitchen being a resting spot for my dirty clothes.
Lately my legs have been tighting up and it's driving me to thoughts of buying a treadmill. So haphazardly I began looking in the local papers to see if someone had a used treadmill for sale. Being the thorough person I am I look up the models on the internet to see what other people say in reviews about the ones they had purchased. Most weren't worth buying. I did find one at Sam's Club that had a very nice review and was only $875. That is within my buying range.
The more I considered it the more concerned I became. $875 is a bit of money and I dont want another piece of unused equipment taking up space. My thoughts wandered to the new exercise facility a local doctor helped bring in.
The membership is $25 a month and it's 20 mins from me. On the plus side it's air conditioned, has both a walking ring and treadmills, it has other exercise equipment, and it has nice looking ladies in tight exercise clothes buzzing around.
On the bad side it's 20 mins away and it has nice looking ladies in tight exercise clothes buzzing around with snooty noses that turn up in the air.
I'm considering going to the facility every other day so that is roughly 3.5 times a week. A gallon of gas will get me there and back so it's around $12 a week for gas putting it at $50 a month and with the membership gives me a total of $75 for a months walking. At that rate the $875 I would have spent on the treadmill would give me a 11 plus months of walking in a nice facility.
I've done the math.
