Picking The Right Equipment
As far as equipment goes exercise, hobbies, work or general play; you always want to make sure you have the right kind. This applies especially if you are serious or passionate about what you are doing. Picking the right equipment doesn't automatically mean you're going to pay a fortune. As long as you know what you need you can do the shopping yourself and not let those sales persons take advantage of you. A piece of equipment I try not to skimp on is sneakers. If you buy the right shoe for your activity and foot they will last you. Another piece I hope to start to not skimp on are bicycles. It is a new found hobby of mine that I absolutely love. I bought a used cheap bike off the streets and it has gotten me through some treks and many days back and to school. It has cost me more in maintenance than its worth so I hope to purchase a better quality that will last me years to come! A few sites that might help you with these purchases are:

Katie, you are definitely right when it comes to picking the right equipment. I am involved in weight lifting and it is important to have proper shoes for different exercise. I actually have three different pairs of lifting shoes I use. I have a pair for squatting, dead lifting, and other general exercise such as bench press and so on. I also have a belt I use. It helps with support in your lower back and abdomen when you are lifting a lot of weight. Great post!
ReplyDeleteThis is an interesting post Katie. Most people don't necessarily think about the equipment they or using (or wearing!) I think the right shoes for running is crucial so you don't get shin splints. I think it's also important for people to remember that they do not need the most expensive gym equipment to get a workout. All you need is some open space, your body weight, and gravity will help do the rest! Nice post!
