    I can't choose only one, I have multiple favourites. :sad:

    Food scale. Nike lifting gloves. Polar HRM. Jillian Michaels DVDs. Mint Chocolate whey. Tape measure/calipers.

    I've got a $30 credit on ebay that I want to use but I'm kind of stumped on what to use it on. Most people say a food scale or exercise shoes but I've already got those.

    So, to get some ideas going, what is the BEST fitness related purchase you've made. Something that motivated you more, helped you get back in shape easier, whatever it was I wanna know!!

    I think my Fitbit is my best purchase! :)

    1. Digital Kitchen Scale. It was $15.
    2. My bicycle. $500+ but worth every penny.
    3. Gym membership. Seriously. Helps me esp. in the winter or during inclement weather when I can't ride my bike or don't like to walk.

    A microfibre towel.

    I don't drive and hauling a damp regular towel around with me from gym or pool to work across town and then from work to home on the other side of town was a pain the *kitten*. It really has made a huge improvement to have a teeny, light towel.

    HEART RATE MONITOR! Mine was $60 but I'm sure you can get a cheaper one on Ebay!

    PiYo - Its the first program I've ever stuck to. I'm on week 7 and normally quit by week 2 or 3. It's my soulmate workout!!

    I hate the fitbit flex! IMO, it's a total waste of 100. They are not accurate in recording steps, sleep, or anything else.

    For $30 I'd find a kettle bell - I use my kettle bells more than anything (other than my feet).

    New Rules of Lifting (for women, in my case)


    My whole outlook changed with that one book

    ^^ definitely changed my life!

    besides food scale and NROLFW, I'd also list my heart rate monitor as the top 3 best fitness purchases. Just got a Fitbit One so excited to see how it helps as well!

    Hands down it would be my Fitbit Force. I have several other gadgets and weight loss tools, but if forced to give them all away and keep only one, ....it would be the fitbit.

    My treadmill. It was a really heavy duty treadmill that you find in gyms. They can take a beating and keep going.

    BodyMedia fit band. It takes all the guesswork out of how much I should eat, and is extremely motivating and informative.
