    OMG the ab roller is no joke, a friend had one and IF you can use it (because you already have to have some kinda muscle to use it) I bet it would work LOL

    Don't really like the Wii Fit I mean the games are okay just doesn't burn enough calories could be doing something high impact instead.

    Great thread. I regret buying steel cut oats in the can - it takes too long to make. I much prefer the 5 minute version in the box that I was lucky enough to find :)

    I regret buying the 'Iron Gym' pull-up bar. I purchased it via phone while watching an infomercial on tv. It cost $70 with all the extra crap I ordered plus shipping and handling (they are now on sale in stores for $30 or less, wtf?).
    I put it together, hooked it onto my door, and couldn't even pull myself off the ground.

    It now resides in my closet where I stare at it some days hoping that I will gain the upper body strength to be able to use it in the future.

    I bought this and I use it for p90x... although you are right about the price. I bought it in walmart for $30.00. If you do chair assisted chin ups you will eventually work yourself up to doing them on your own... if you work at it.

    This is my regret too! I also ordered it from an infomercial - then we got it in the mail and I was so excited! Then I started looking around and the only doorways in my house that have a 'frame' are the front and back door. So I can use it in the open front door for the world to see and laugh - or use it in the back door where the dog is going to think its some fun new game for him....

    We have bought so many kitchen gadgets. Rice cooker, Fry Daddy, Ronco Rotisserrie, George Forman Grill, etc., that we built a pantry just for kitchen gadgets when we remodeled. They rarely come out of the pantry. I can prepare almost anything with a Spatula, Tongs, Cleaver, Cast Iron skillet, satuee pan or casserole dish.

    I HAD to have the George Foreman Grill... I think I've used it 5 times in 3+ years.

    Also, never use the Big City Slider Station I ordered.

    Yeah I'm a sucker :blushing:

    I'm still waiting for some one to say the shake weight, ab roller contraption, the ab belt (electro-stimulation), water weights, etc.

    The shake weight is just vulgar to me... I'd be embarrassed to check out!

    I regret buying my stepper (never used), jump rope (still too fat to use it), several pairs of cheap sneakers, and all of my pilates stuff ( I never do it). My cousin has the Giselle, and if I had bought that, I would really regret that purchase!

    Great Post!

    i kind of agree with you on that one. I got the wii fit plus because there was more games and more choices. For me high impact all puffed out is what I really want. But I do have to stick up for the wii fit/fit plus and say the yoga really tones you up.

    I hate exercise bikes as they make me feel really frustrated and I don't get anywhere and theres no scenery or fresh air - boring. The stepper makes my knees ache; rather walk a distance and enjoy it. I think thats why I would never join a gym; it would be a waste of money for me.

    Do you have a step ladder?

    Buying a balance ball & medicine ball. When did I think I was going to have time to use these things? I workout at a gym 6 days a week, and if I work out in the evening I do a workout dvd like 30 Day Shred or Tae Bo.

    Absolutely do NOT regret buying hand weights, TWO yoga mats (one for a friend to tag along without having to buy their own), and new sneakers. Use them all every day!

    Yes, I do. Maybe I should take you and the other person's advice about doing the assisted pull-ups with a ladder or chair. Thanks, guys :heart:
