...a Nintendo Wii Game System!
Because I was working at a low-paying job and trying to save my money, I couldn't really afford a gym membership, and I'm not a huge fan of gym machines anyway. The only thing I really enjoy at the gym are the group dance fitness classes, like Zumba, which are always super crowded.
A Wii totally solved my problems. I got to dance without worrying about someone elbowing me in the face, and after purchasing the system and a few games, I could exercise without worrying about having to pay any monthly fees.
The Wii is responsible for probably about half of my weight loss in the past year. Playing for just a half hour a day can help you burn hundreds of calories!
I highly recommend the Just Dance series of games. I've been actively playing Just Dance 2 and 3 the past year, and I just got Just Dance 4, which is awesome as well. They're not just for people who have dance experience. My friends, mom, and brother all play even though they have no dance training whatsoever.
I also recently received The Hip Hop Experience and Zumba Core. I find the moves to be a little harder to follow than the Just Dance series, but they are both good if you don't take your scoring too seriously. The Zumba one actually allows you to take virtual Zumba classes, which is very cool.
