Pay It Forward - Donating your old fitness gear

I am a member of another board that has a stickied thread like this called "Pay it Forward" based on the movie. Its basically a bunch of like minded people donating their old fitness gear to others. This isn't aimed at you giving away all of your stuff for free, just stuff that you don't use anymore because you've "upgraded" and its been sitting in the closet or a piece of gear/clothing that you've outgrown that someone else could use.

With that being said, I'll put up the first item. All you have to do is cover the shipping and its yours.

Its a Timex T5G971 Heart Rate Monitor.

http://www.amazon.com/Timex-T5G971-Unisex-Personal-Monitor/dp/B000P8VWQS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1311346681&sr=8-1

I've upgraded to a Polar and this has been sitting in my drawer ever since. Its been well taken care of and I hand washed the strap after every use. The only thing I've noticed is that while the HR is accurate the calorie burn is over estimated by about 15-20%. So I used to just deduct that amount from my totals and its worked out well.

Comes with: Watch, Chest Strap, Instruction Manuals

Remember theres just one rule... once you've upgraded/outgrown something just PAY IT FORWARD.

First one to PM me will get it, and I'll post again on this thread as soon as its gone.

ETA: I also forgot to add, please no requests. It just gets too messy with everyone requesting things and should just be reserved for those people willing/able to donate.

Thanks!!

    My gym accepts our old running shoes and they ship them to places like Africa. It is such a great idea:)

    I have some of those! Shoot me a PM!

    Several wicking short sleeved tops by Champion, one or two wicking tanks, and two pairs of wicking capri pants (straight legged, not tights). I have a few pairs of running shorts as well. Oh, and one long-sleeved wicking top by Danskin.

    I also have several, about 6, Men's suits I can no longer wear that I would like to go to someone who could use them. They are all nice suits and in very good condition.

    They are size 46R with pants waist size 38 inseam 30.

    As a matter of fact, I have about 15 pairs of dress and casual pants of that same size I will never wear again.

    If you're the perfect size, you could get a whole new wardrobe for a formal or business casual occassion.

    PM me if you're interested and I can send some pics. Or should I post pics here?
