10. Do you have to have it right now?

10. Do you have to have it right now? 
If you're ready to act now, this may be an impulse purchase akin to that king-size candy bar, only more expensive. Infomercials are designed to make you want you to buy now. And they always offer special deals, last-minute offers and other incentives to get you to pick up the phone before you miss a "one-time" opportunity. Give it some time and thought. Make yourself wait at least a day to decide if you still really want it and will use it. The answer might surprise you. Some ideas seem better at 3 a.m. than they do in the daylight!

Overall, it's best to use your common sense when purchasing a fitness product from an infomercial. While many of them are a little gimmicky, there are plenty out there that can produce results! However, remember, for any product to truly work, you have to use it. It's not the Bowflex or the ThighMaster that gets you moving, it's YOU!
