I have to agree $5 isn't a lot of money.

I really like your down to earth approach here at starling-fitness. I just discovered you today and this post seems to make a lot of sense to me too. A great way to legitimately justify those workout expences. Thanks for the site and the encouragement.

Really great way to look at things. Puts sme of those fitness related purchases into perspective. That skipping rope I purchased earlier this year was a steal!

i paid $400 for my treadmill, $70 for my shoes, and $30 for my nike+ sensor. (ipod was a gift...doesn't count). so that's $500. but in only 6 weeks, the treadmill has been used 34 times (33 by me, and once by my husband) so we have earned back $170. only $330 to go!

I just stumbled across your website today. And oddly enough, I paid $700 yesterday for a used Treadclimber. I'm $695 away from having the thing "paid off". I'll let you know when I get there.

I would have to workout with a $700 treadmill 140 times for it to â€œpay for itself.

i don't think i am going to be able to look at my $40 gym membership the same way again! time to hit the hills gary

Thanks for the inspiring messages and thoughtful links everyday. I was just surfing aroun the net and came across http://www.push.tv/ I don’t know much about it but it looks like an interesting take on the $5 workout. You’d need to do each dvd twice for it to equal out but you get a new one each month. Unfortunately it doesn’t look like they ship outside the US. I’d be interested to hear if anyone had tried it none the less.

I tried Maya, but she just didn't do it for me. I prefer to be outside or with people (even fake real people in a video). But at least now I know it was just me and others do enjoy the workout!

I like that 5 buck philosophy. I try to get use of all my equipment even if itâ€™s a gift like my mom giving me her old cross country step trainer. I feel some of my equipment I havenâ€™t been using as much as I should and I need to change that.
