emmzzi I have, at one time or another, owned pretty much every as seen on tv exercise kit on the planet. Including but not limited to
- manual treadmill
- electric treadmill
- exercise bike
- trampoline
- ab roller
- electric muscle jabbing thing
- wondercore
- twist and glide
- mini stepper
- weights bench
- inversion table
- gravity walker
I went running for a while, a year or two back, and £70 for decent shoes seemed like a bargain.
I am struggling without my usual walk from the car park/ running about the office so I have bought tiny space kit and I'm just documenting it here to remind myself not to buy more. I still have a vibration plate but I don't tend to use that for exercise; it's more for the days when my legs are a bit numb.
- Switch Just Dance 2020 (I will let myself renew the music library for a year at £20 when my trial expires) £25
- Switch Ringfit adventure £90
- Switch fitness boxing £40
- Switch zumba £34
- Yoga mat and strap £21 (not used yet but see next entry....)
- DS yoga instructors cartridges x 2 £9
- Exercise bike £110 (using with youtube virtual tours)
A total to date of £350, once that dance music licence is renewed.
My gym, which I never went to, was around £500 a year. So £350 is still a bargain even if I only use everything one for novelty, I suppose.
Mainly I have to not buy more stuff, unless I really use this stuff. I have room for a flat treadmill to go under the sofa. Everyone is sold out of those, which may be a good thing. because it'd take my total to £800 which, for a lazy woman, seems a lot. But it *will* fit under the sofa.

Would that help to ensure you do use the things you have, or at least work out which you really get something out of using and therefore is worth keeping, and the things you don't which you could then get rid of?

There's a decent second hand video games market for when I do, and exercise bikes are easily given away. But, as I wont be having people round for a while, it's fine to have stuff out for now.
