    Athletic ear buds. Ones that don't fall out when I run. I feel like I am spending unnecessary energy constantly placing them back in my ears.

    When I run I use the over the ear ones ... sony makes nice flexible ones and they don't fall off/out. I think I got them at Target.

    With the $75 I'd get a 15 pound body bar and a personal trainer session.

    I'm confused.... Is it $75 or $100?
    It could be $100! Lol I just don't know if I want to use all of it on that or save a little in case of needing something at random.

    Really depends on your goals. For me I'm taking my gift card and getting a power tower so I can use that for upper body and core workouts using my body weight.

    Wow! Lots of nice ideas! I appreciate it. I really would like a mat (someone mentioned this). I used to LOVE gymnastics and I think with a thick exercise mat I would practice and exercise more as well. I also didn't consider an MP3 player with nice headphones and I don't have anything to play music now. I have not even one sports bra and no exercise clothes (or many bras that fit or pants that don't fall off of me :/) so maybe that is one of the best ideas too. I love all of them though and I need to think before I use the money because I don't normally just spend, but it was a gift the person insisted be spent directly on myself. xo You are all very helpful and nice!

    I have $100 from Christmas and I want to use it for workout supplies: weights, juicer, workout clothes, heart rate monitor (although I have a body bugg that is okay, I think it would help even more)

    I don't know what to purchase for myself. What would you pick? If something else, let me know because I could use the ideas! I don't have a lot of stuff besides DVDs and Video Games to exercise with because we don't have a lot of money. xo I also want to start a new routine with lotssss of squats for now, so any equipment/weights that would be good for that would be nice. :]

    u can find some good stuff at thrift store sometimes they have weights u can buy

    Not sure what that is! Not sure what plates are either? Someone mentioned some sort of plate? I would love to put it toward a rowing machine and add the rest, but I have no where to put it. lol

    Heart rate monitor. A Polar FT7
    Or a set of adjustable weights.

    Not sure about near here, but I can look! I live in Chicago: One of the most obese places and in our area, it shows. Lol. Not a lot of equipment usually, but it is a good idea to look, just in case I get lucky for once. :]

    My suggestion is to get some resistance bands

    I would hold on to as much as possible right now.

    Keep exericsing with tapes and eating healthy.

    They say 80% is what you eat and 20% is exercise.

    Get a little scale to weigh portion sizes. It's not as much trouble as you would think. They have "cute" ones on Amazon for 30-40 bucks.

    One hour with my PT is $60. I'd use the rest for digital food scale. Would die without mine.

    Resistance bands = $30 on amazon (http://www.amazon.com/Black-Mountain-Products-Resistance-Exercise/dp/7245456313/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1356554116&sr=8-1&keywords=resistance+bands) You can do so much with those and body weight exercises.

    Beyond that, I'd hold out on everything else until you know what you want.
