in Motivation and Support
I had no idea where to post this but since "toys" motivate me I thought this might be the place. The holidays are coming up and I plan to ask for fitness-related and healthy eating items. I don't have a fitbit for instance, and I need a new food scale and blender. So my question is...

Which fitness/health items keep you motivated? Which ones would you recommend? Which can you not live without? I want to know what to put on my Christmas list!

    Subbing! I have a Jawbone Up on my Christmas list this year. I want a dehydrator, too, but that's outside of "Christmas gift" cost.

    it's for pace training, so it needs to be small and clip-on :)

    I have a pull up bar as well as assistance bands to go with the bar then a TRX system above my other door, a kettlebell and some free weights. I couldn't live without any of them.

    What I have on my wishlist now;
    heavier kettlebell and weights
    foamroller
    more gym clothes

    Wireless headset....specifically Bluebud X by Jaybird. They are awesome! I can pretty much endure any exercise when listening to great music.

    In for ideas.
    Not sure if I've been naughty or nice this year, but just in case, I want to be prepared.
