So, I'm thinking: when my next student loan arrives, I can in theory use about £200 to piss about with, as long as I'm right sensible for the rest of the year. I'm thinking of buying
an elliptical. (I thought they'd be
well more expensive than that!) Do you think this is a good idea?
I mean, my mum and dad have a few machines, but I'm thinking about getting this elliptical for the student house I live in most of the time.
It's just - I'll be honest - I feel like I'd be 2837287% more likely to use one daily, which is what I'm aiming for, if it's there in my house, rather than going to the gym - especially if it's right by my bed when I wake up, (which it would have to be 'cause I'd have nowhere else to put it, hahaha). Especially in rubbish weather. It's about the cost of a gym membership and I could use it whenever I have any free time, if I wanted to.
I'm not sure, though. I'm thinking about it. I mean, with a going to the gym, you do have a variety of different machines, and it's getting out of the house as well which is more exercise in itself, and there's that sense of accomplishment with going to a gym, and you can get all sorts of information, etc.
My housemate's expressed some desire to lose weight, but has told me she has no desire to join a gym (but to exercise in other ways - like swimming, for example) and I'd be more than happy to let her use it whenever she wants - and my other housemate's always going to the gym, so she could use it as well if she wanted to, 'cause she's always got a lot of stuff on and it might save her some time.
Hmmmm. I wouldn't be able to buy one until next year anyway. We shall see!
