The Chronic Consumer

I go to a gym three times a week for cardio and weight training, and on other days, I spend at least 30 minutes on a mini-stepper that I have here at home. Well, at least I used to, before the thing broke yesterday.

This is actually the second mini-stepper that has broken on me in the past 3 years. I don’t know if it’s me or if I’m just buying crappy products, but I’m getting tired of this. These machines have come from two different companies, so maybe I’m the problem after all. Maybe I’m using the machines longer than they’re supposed to be used, thereby causing excessive friction and heat, which could lead to breakdowns and malfunctions.

At this rate, I’d probably just be better off buying diet pills and forgetting about spending money on more home exercise products. My garage is full of ab machines, thigh machines, and now mini-steppers that don’t work anymore. What a waste!
