Here are things to keep in mind when selecting exercise equipment, courtesy of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons:
- Consider the difference between exercising at home, versus joining a gym. Make sure that you're comfortable with doing it at home.
- Consider less expensive options that offer more variety in your exercise. Look for a stand to convert your regular bicycle into a stationary bike, or consider free weights and a bench instead of a resistance machine.
- Choose a place in your home that is pleasant for exercising. Make sure it's well-lit and well-ventilated.
- Make sure you know how to properly use the equipment before bringing it home.
