Question of the Week: What's the Worst Fitness Equipment



What is the worst piece of equipment you've ever used?

**

For me, I think the worst fitness machine has been the home rowing machine my girlfriend had in university. She stored it under the stairs and offered it to all of us roommates to use. I remember using it once or twice but found it so jerky and difficult to pull that I didn't continue... neither did she.

Imagine my surprise years later when I tried the "real" rowing machine at the YMCA and liked it!

So do tell…what equipment rates worst for you?

Do not purchase one of those exercise balls. I know so many people with them, that never get used. If you are looking for a low impact fitness routine try aquafit - or just plain swimming. Yesterday my daughter and I participated in a monkey in the middle full contact sport with 6 players - lots of jumping and swimming! It was a blast! Eureka!

Hi Monica,

Although I agree that aquafit is a great workout, I disagree with your advice to not buy an exercise ball. I find them one of the BEST purchases because of the number of exercises that you can do with them. They are especially awesome for core training. Plus, they're just plain fun!
