Best fitness purchase you've ever made?

My fitbit I love it gets me to get my daily steps in0

I was going to say bicycle as it's transformed my fitness but looking back further I would have to say buying a gym ball (a.k.a. Swiss ball) was the best purchase ever.
It's what enabled me to rehab my injured back enough to train harder/longer/stronger.0 -
Currently, it's my elliptical. I bought it gently used for about $130, and I use it nearly every day. I used to have a HRM, which I also loved to wear while running, but I used it so much the strap broke. That will probably be my next big purchase. I think it was around $100. My P90X DVDs got a lot of use, also, as do my dumbells.0

Garmin forerunner 110
My kayano running shoes
2 of the best purchases I have made!!!0 -
Hands down - Bodymedia Link Armband
Or Turbojam, because if I never purchased the program, I would never be where I am today.0 -
My Oly bar and plates - I can lift whenever I want without leaving the house.
Closely followed by my Fitbit - it's great for reminding myself to stay active.0 -
Recent motivational purchases that I love:
- HRM (Polar FT4)
- Weirdly, my new gym bag - my old one was falling to bits and the new one (from Roxy's Sugar Me Up range) is all funky coloured and makes me smile every time I use it.
- Kettlebells: bought a cheap 12kg and 7.5kg to use at home
- new breathable tank top found cheap at TK Maxx (new workout gear always motivational )0 -
Hometrainer.
It's placed in the bedroom, facing the television.
It satisfies my inner couch potato, and keeps me reasonably fit.
And for long stretches of time, it has proved to be a very artsy clothes hanger.0 -
Mine would be:
My bike
My weights and squat rack
Fitbit Flex
Foam roller0 -

Fitbit One for me as it highlighted how inactive I was and now acts as a reminder to stay more active. Using it properly (stride length set, logging non-walking activity on the website etc) it also provides a reasonably accurate record of my TDEE so I can set my calorie intake accordingly.0
-
If you have a bike already, $30 will buy you a set of mudguards.
Seriously. You can use it after it's been raining without getting things you've ridden through up your back.0 -
My shuffle. I love to listen to music when working out and the little shuffle is light way and easy to use in the gym or while running, etc. I never liked using my phone for music but the iPod Shuffle is perfect! Always makes me work out longer0
-
A Pair of Running Shoes (but they cost more than $30)0
-
I love my battle ropes!! the offer a total body workout and they are HARD!0
-
Heart rate monitor... or my resistence bands... yes those0
-
My vivo fitness band by Garmin. It provides more real time information on the band display than fitbit and jawbone! I am much more active in my daily life because of the vivo fitness band by Garmin.0
-
My programmable static exercise bike.
I love my mountain bike but here in northern France 30miles from the coast the weather gets pretty cold, wet, and windy in autumn and winter. The indoor bike means I can still get my workout without getting soaked, muddy, and freezing my butt and finger ends off! The new wall-mounted TV also helps as I can now watch my music channels when I get bored of staring outside at the rain.0 -

Fitbit one! Has really helped motivate me to move more. I actually get anxious if I forget to wear it now! Well worth the money x0
