Asset is one which you can see and touch in simple words.There are exceptions.

Freelancing is a profession and your Income if any, from such profession has to be declared under the head"Income from Business or Profession" as per IT Act 1961.

So your Balancesheet will reflect Assets brought  and  related to your profession.

That`s all. Treadmill , ofcourse may not  be used for that .

So distinguidh between  assets  used  for profession and not
