7. Only Buy Key Equipment

When it comes to spending money on fitness equipment, don’t get carried away. It’s easy to think you need to purchase far more than you actually require when you’re just getting started.

For example, if you’re buying weights, don’t buy weights that are so heavy you can’t lift them – that’s money wasted and you could end up injuring yourself. And when it comes to fitness wear, don’t buy ten pairs of running pants when you only need a couple. Essentially, before you buy anything, just ask yourself “will I definitely need or use this item?”
