When I was on my last serious weight loss campaign 10 yrs ago, I bought a Concept 2 Rower. (The ones they use in most gyms).
Although expensive, I'm a firm believer in 'you get what you pay for'.
I lost 3 stone all those years ago - in 2 months (it involved doing a 1 million metre challenge).
This time I was thinking of joining a gym, but then thought I'd probably only use the rower (as I know it works) - so I went to my garage instead!
I have got the rower out of the garage, and even though it is 10 yrs old, after a dusting down, and a lub of the chain, it operates like new.
I am now back in the routine, and averaging an hour a day of 'steady plod', burning about 600 cals daily - as well as SW diet.
I feel much better, and after nearly 2 weeks, I can see a real difference.
Lets hope that it pays off!! (first weigh day on Monday!).
The crux of this post though, is to say I can't imagine many of the 'argos' fitness machines stilll being operable after 10 yrs in a garage.
I may be wrong though! ??
