Chris Writing Anything

Sometimes, it’s the easiest observations that create good decision making. Many understand that cramming tons of data might aid in a good move, yet, others, yes many people, if you know the key points, can make great gut decisions.

Furthermore, many of us criticize others for making picks that seem mediocre, especially if there seemed to be better options on the table. However, maybe that person’s decision was simply based on personal wants and needs.

Take for instance, if I’m to take personal needs into account, my exercise equipment purchase. I’m aging, and my joints aren’t as strong as they once were. So, if I need a cardio machine that won’t tax my knees, I’d need a bike or elliptical.

About a week ago, I discovered a few stationary bikes at a thrift store. They were fifty bucks. I had considered those, and if I had the space, that would have been the perfect purchase. But I live in a tiny mobile home, and my only spot for the bike would have been my office. It would have been cramped in there, and to tell you the truth, I really don’t want to exercise in that room.

So, I decided to peruse online options. I found something perfect, it was twice the price, and honestly, I felt it could have been a little cheaper, but it’s a foldable eliptical, so I can set it up in my more spacious living room. Plus, I can watch television while exercising. After I’m done, I can fold it up and stow it in my office.

And really, when you compare it to the price of a peloton, while I didn’t get a thrift store price, I’m not making car payments on my elliptical.

So, even if I feel the price could have been better, the ratings of the product seem to imply a quality item, and really that’s all I need to keep my ticker fit.

Have an Excellent Day!
