Exercise gadgets are not the same as exercise equipment but they can be found everywhere from target to bed n bath stores to drugstores, making them appear necessary and affordable when in reality they are just a big waste of your time and money. Below are 3 exercise gadgets to skip and 3 pieces of exercise equipment you should have for better workouts and a better body.

Exercise Gadget to Skip #1: Push-up Pro
One of the best full body exercises for fat loss and for fitness is the push-up and many people do struggle with wrist strain, range of motion issues, and boredom but this gadget isn't the answer to your problems. The push-up pro won't address the real underlying issues which are lack of wrist flexibility from too much keyboard work, easily fixed with forearm stretches, forward slumping shoulders from too much computer time, easily fixed with regular chest stretches, or lack of variety in an old workout routine, easily fixed by getting free workouts online. If you want push-ups to work for you try a more diverse upper body workout using an exercise ball. Exercise Equipment To Buy For A Great Upper Body: The Firm Stability Ball 65cm

Exercise Gadget to Skip #2: Ab Lounge
Curious about this $200 lawn chair? Go to Linens n Things or Sears and try it out. You'll soon find out that it's uncomfortable, not effective, takes up too much room, and most importantly that you need to eat right to get results. The booklet that comes with it actually addresses proper diet but you already know that's a fact so stop kidding yourself that this beach chair will build ripped abs. If you want lean toned abs you are also going to have to burn tons of calories and fat and the only way to do that is with ab exercises that work the entire body.

Exercise Gadget to Skip #3: Rock n Roll Stepper
$80 dollars!!! I'm shocked and amazed that they can get away with selling this to consumers who are well aware that building core strength, improving balance, and building lean legs and a firm butt requires more work than side to side rocking on a little step that actually does cause knee strain, hip strain, and back strain. I could go on a rant about this particular piece of junk but here's some advice you can use. Want a firm butt and killer legs without the pain? Try uphill walking or stair sprints (they're free) or side lunges onto a balance device. Exercise Equipment to Buy for Killer Legs & A Firm Butt: Bosu Balance Trainer Home Version
