Is It Time to Ditch Your Workout Gear?
Have your battered running shoes and stretched-out sports bra had enough? Here's when to call it quits with your workout gear
Exercise balls and bands
Seems silly, but these really can become dangerous if you hang on to them too long. Bands break, balls pop, you get the idea.When to toss: After two years of use, or if the plastic looks discolored or brittle.
Help them last longer: Never leave them outside in the sun; The heat will make the plastic wear down faster.
