[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It isn’t. People like to buy expensive things because they “deserve” it. Then they feel the overwhelming need to proclaim how great it is to validate spending a stupid amount of money on a stationary bike. [/quote] I didn't tell anyone I had it for months. This is a way to make yourself feel superior to people who have found a lot of good in something. It's lame. [/quote] If you can’t manage to work out in an effective and enjoyable way without a 2500 bike- that is lame. [/quote] DP. So what kind of exercise do you do? Type and frequency? And how much does it cost for equipment, membership, coaching, etc.? When I didn’t have a whole lot of money, I trained for marathons. I still needed shoes, race fees and travel, treadmill, running watch. No gym membership or expensive equipment, but it wasn’t free. I signed up for the Peloton app ($12.99/month) when they were running a free trial (not expecting much) and I must say it has been a game changer for my motivation. Their run coaching and music selection is top notch and the gamification/badges aspect is super motivating to me. I bought an off-brand spin bike off Amazon for a couple hundred bucks so I can cross-train. I use the strength, stretching, and meditation content as much as I use the running content. I guess I drank the Koolaid because I ordered a Tread+ to replace my 11-year-old tread. I don’t need a $4500 tread but it looks pretty and is rated very well by Consumer Reports. I can afford it now and what’s wrong with feeling I deserve something nice? I managed to qualify for the Boston Marathon without all these bells and whistles so I don’t consider myself “lame”. I plan to give my cheap, but functional spin bike to a relative and buy the Bike+ too. Why? Because I like matching things and I have the money. Why should I be judged for that? [/quote]
