Best Buy/Worst Buy

What's the best/worst, thing/things you've bought that you thought would help you?

I've had a few good buys with exercise equipment but my 2 best buys are EA sports2 for the Wii, I'm addicted, and a steamer I bought recently. I wish I'd bought one years ago, veg etc. does taste better.

Worst buy was a supplement called Creatine, my weight shot up even though I took it sensibly.

Best would be my exercise bike.

Worst, well not really bought anything else apart from some weights, but glad I did. So nothing.

Pilates dvd's and resistance bands (best buy). Aerobic/kickboxing dvd's (worst buy)
I'm just not a fan of leaping around, sweating buckets and feeling like I'm going to drop dead after a fitness session, exercise is after all, meant to be fun!! And as for "no pain no gain" you can stick it where the sun doesn't shine!

best buy: my adjustable dumbells (4kg to 10kg each), ab cruncher, ab set and stability ball. insanity workout dvd!

worst: exercise bike and stepper - they bike gets all the washing hung on it, ive no motivation to use it and the stepper is just boring.
