    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.

    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.

    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 longer

    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.

    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.

    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 x

    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.

    ^^Lol at this. I used to have a cross-trainer bike that came in very handy for hanging my clothes!!

    Diary to use for a training journal.

    (Or should I say diaries, since it's one per year?).

    A bench, Olympic bars, and weights. I've added dumbells along the way.

    They've lasted 22 years.

    My bathing suit. A Dolphin aquatard. This was a bit more than 30 dollars.
    My gym membership so I can swim year round.
