Don't hesitate to spend a little extra money for a CD player, TV, or whatever will help you keep your appointed time of exercise.

In other words, just as the pharmaceutical companies have a vested interest in seeing you buy patented medications rather than cheaper — and possibly more effective — alternatives, these alternative medicine practitioners have products they want to see you buy. Maybe even if it means not buying a more effective product. What they're selling may really be the best for you. Or it may not.

There is calorie inflation on all the exercise equipment you are using. To sell treadmills, the calories being burned per hour are often exaggerated. One piece of cake will take a long time to burn off on a treadmill. However, for some people, starting an exercise program along with a diet is just the ticket. Their exercise regimen organizes their eating patterns and they eat fewer calories. If you restrict your exercise to set periods of exercising on a treadmill or a bicycle, you may compensate for this set exercise by being less active other times of the day.

We have all the exercise equipment you could ever want. People gave it to us. Friends, neighbors." As Jerry leaves to be examined, he hands me his card. It announces, above his name and phone number, in large, black letters: P.O.V.A. Pissed Off Veterans of America. Jerry Phillips's case is distressing enough. Gary Zuspann's is even worse. Just now, however, he is feeling a little better.

In contrast, if you rely on exercise equipment as the means to stay fit, we concede you've got a problem when you and the equipment are separated.

Remember, the minimum amount of aerobic exercise you should be performing is 30-minute sessions, three days a week.

Q: J don't own an exercise bike or any of the other indoor exercise equipment on the market.
