Treadmill.
Elliptical machine.
Free weights.
Most homes have a piece of fitness equipment collecting dust. Mine is the Wii Fit. Fantastic interactive system for working out that I bought a few years ago. I have never been fond of exercise, but I fell in love with this product. We already had a Nintendo Wii System, so all I had to do was buy the aerobic step board and the disc. The best part for me is playing games that strengthen and tone my body and I forget that I’m exercising.
However, I must apologize to my Wii Fit for neglecting it. It entertained me and motivated me and I turned my back on it. So easy to use and tracks your weight, BMI, and all the activities you do on it. Hubby and I would compete against each other to see who could unlock the most games. It compares our progress. I’ve always wanted to indulge in Yoga and Pilates and this system has that. But I’ve barely scratched the surface with it. When you begin the CD, there is a little person inside of that system (a Mii) that scolds tells you they haven’t seen you in XXX days. I am going to have to hear that when I turn it back on. I’m so ashamed.
Please forgive me, Wii Fit. I haven’t completely abandoned you. I know exactly where you are and remember what you look like. How about you give me another chance? You will not be sorry. I ran walked a 5K this past weekend and received a 2nd Place medal. I’m ready for more. Let’s be friends again. Truce?
Which piece of fitness equipment do you need to make peace with?
This post is for Day 13 of the Blog Every Day In May Challenge: Issue a public apology. This can be as funny or as serious or as creative as you want it to be.

Mine would probably be my treadmill. Its in the basement though, so I feel like I am in the dungeon using it. Well anyway the last time I hopped on, it decided not to work (perhaps getting back at me for not using it much this winter?) and now its summer so it probably won't get fixed till the weather turns cold again!
When I lived in Michigan, we had a treadmill in the basement that collected dust too. Bought it at a garage sale, used it a few times, and then sold it in a garage sale.
I probably should apologize to all the resolutions I made to get in shape!
I hear you. I go on a diet every Monday.
Same as yours, the wii fit!
I'm going to give you a pass on this one, Joi! Your life is a piece of fitness equipment. You'll be just fine. LOL
I would need to make peace with every piece of equipment I have ever owned. Because I neglect it all!
I have some hand weights, Paula, that are less than 5 pounds and instead of picking them up, I shove them to the side with my foot. Ha!
Oh my goodness I have had several coat racks …I mean pieces of exercise equipment.
At least it's equipment and not gym memberships. Can't tell you how many of those I wasted, Zoe.
My Wii fit has never been used. My kettle bells are gathering dust. It is all pathetic!
Try the Wii Fit at least once. So much to do on it!
I love the title of your post! Creative 🙂 I should probably apologize to my hand weights. I haven't been using them very much lately.
So glad you took the time to comment, Amanda. Started following your blog. I can really use your writing tips for my fiction manuscript. I overly obsess about grammar and punctuation.
Yup know the feeling, you may have inspired me to get my duster out and check how many days I've been absent – congratulation on the medal, that's a huge effort.
I hope I have inspired you, Ida. And I agree with your other readers that you should keep the name of your blog as Reflex Reactions.
Oops I almost forgot – pulling it out now, ready to get started first thing in the morning. 🙂
Congratulations on your medal! I need to be more consistent with my exercise in general. Stopping by from the link up 🙂
Thanks Allison. Enjoyed your public apology post about the bath salts. Really funny.
