Take an honest look at your current activity level to determine if you will actually use the machine. If you are currently sedentary, then you might want to develop an exercise program for yourself first. For example, you could start taking a 30-minute walk after dinner every night or do low-impact aerobics at home using a video. Try to work your way up to the recommended 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise each week. An easy way to break this up is to do 30 minutes of exercise five days a week.

You might also ask about refund options for the machine. For example, can you return the machine if you are not satisfied with it? If so, how long do you have to return it? Will you get a full or partial refund? Even if a machine has a low-cost payment plan, exercise machines can cost thousands of dollars by the time it is paid for. You may also have an increased electricity bill from using the machine. Take some time to calculate the total cost of the machine you are thinking about buying.
