Keep it simpElle: Own up! ...What have you got?!

As it's supposedly Spring, it's that time of year where a spring clean is in order! As part of my move to Finland I've had to empty out my flat anyway. This has consisted of 3 parts; things to take with me, things to give to charity and things to give away. It's funny the amount of things you can accumulate over time...and here is some of what I found!

A rebounder was in the back of my wardrobe! I couldn't tell you how may years ago I bought it, but I can tell you that I haven't used it in the last five years!

A recent study showed that Brits spend ?260m a year on home fitness equipment they will never use!

In a bid to lose weight or tone up, UK adults spent more than ?1billion over the last five years on home health and fitness equipment they rarely, if ever, use, according to new research from Nuffield Health, the UK?s largest healthcare charity.

Three quarters of adults have bought at least one piece of equipment, ranging from treadmills to trampolines, so they can pursue health or fitness goals in the comfort of their own home. However, just 21 per cent of these people use the equipment regularly and double that (41 per cent) admit to using it briefly when they first buy it, if at all, and then giving up.

Did I mention that I also found an abdominal crunch contraption?! Still boxed...I know I purchased this while at university as the delivery address tells me so! But my reason for its purchase was that it was dirt cheap cos we all know we don't need equipment to get a toned stomach (if you don't know this check out my Drill Pack with core exercises!)

In response to this, Nuffield Health has launched an Equipment Amnesty, urging people to ?give up? equipment they?ve bought and don?t use for a free two-day pass to use at their local Nuffield Health Fitness and Wellbeing Centre.

As you know, I'm not a huge fan of the gym, but sometimes it's nice to be inside different walls with lots of equipment and classes on hand! ...so, this is where you'll find me...

So...own up! What have you got?!
