I didn’t really have any fitness related gear on my Christmas wish list, namely because the things that I want still, like a heavy bag that you can only hang from the ceiling and a medicine ball, were just things that I knew I was going to buy on my own when I had the spare cash or time to go looking and bargain shopping for them.
Also, that’s honestly just the kind of thing that I’m totally picky about, and I want to make sure I read reviews and do all the other anal things I like to do for research before I purchase items like that, so I’d much rather pick it out myself than potentially hurt someone’s feelings by asking for the return slip, or having to bother with the return in the first place, which I absolutely hate doing to be totally blunt.
Boy, do I sound like a royal scrooge, but I know what I like, and that’s that dammit! At any rate, if you had any fitness stuff on your list that you didn’t get, make sure you shop online for it, as there are already huge reductions on everything from treadmills and ellipticals to yoga mats, DVD’s for exercising, and other fitness accessories.
I was just at TJ Maxx, the retail store, that day after Christmas, and even they had a huge table of fitness sutff, weights, DVD’s, various neat accessories to help your work out better and more, on clearance, so I’m sure that online there are still bargains to be had since they are counting on people with New Year’s resolutions to still be out in force shopping for things that they need to make their new year a little more svelte and sexy.
I think that I’m going to look for deals on medicine balls out at the stores soon, because I thought about it, and due to their weight, I’d probably get a really good deal on the medicine ball itself online, but then I’d have to pay a fortune in shipping because it weighs a lot for a smaller item. So, for something like that it might not be worth it unless they paid for the shipping.
Oh, I also found a really cheap “The Firm” workout DVD at TJ Maxx. It’s a cardio burn one that uses a step to work out, so we’ll see how it works out for me, I’m not to keen on stepping workouts because they really blow me away energy wise, but this one shouldn’t be too bad because it’s only 35 minutes long and it only cost me three bucks, so easy come easy go if it doesn’t work out.
