I have purchased an elliptical from Revalue Fitness to have in my home. I discuss my reasoning below.
1) They were affordable and seen to have good reviews online.
2) A lot of internet gym Bros says that going to the gym is easy, "I don't want to hear that you don't have time, if it's a priority, you make time, it only takes 45 minutes three times a week." That is a load of shit. Time is limited, it is the most valuable commodity, further, just going to and from the gym, changing twice, etc takes 45 minutes or more, not including the actual workout.
A lot of those gym Bros have more time, as talking with their shirts off is their primary career.
3) In the past, I have had my best success when I had gyms very close and walking distance to my apartment, and could thus walk there in the morning before breakfast. This saves time, as the transit time was shorter, and I didn't need the extra shower and changing cycle. So now I'll he able to work out immediately after waking up, before breakfast. This will be more efficient.
4) Watching Netflix or other things while ellipticing might be fun.
5) Now that I'll have a cardio machine at home, it will liberate my gym trips for weightlifting, HIIT, and yoga.
6) A home gym is expensive, but heart disease, Alzheimer's, or cancer would be a lot more expensive.
7) I hope to have better will power with respect to food by exercising more often.
