Your 3 best investments for fitness?
Replies
-
1. appropriate shoes for whatever I'm doing (chucks for lifting, some Brooks running shoes for running)
2. Membership to a good gym
3. Personal training sessions0 -
I cant live without....
1. Ipod touch/Iphone with fast music. You would be surprised the different the type of music you listen to impacts how hard you work.
2. HRM. I use the Polar FT4. I cant tell you how important this is to me. The machines and MFP estimates were completely wrong and over estimated by at least 30-50% of the calories I actually burned.
3.Gym membership. It keeps me accountable. If I am driving 20 minutes to the gym and exercising with others, I need to bring it. Whats the point if I half-a.. it? I am only letting myself down if I do.0 -
1. Nike "Span 8" trainers
2. Food Scales
3. Various equipment....Wii Fit+ and remote weights, Elliptical (cross-trainer), Ab Circle pro..Etc.0 -
I'm doing this at hiome, so:
1. Free weights
2. Stationary bike
3. Workout DVDs0 -
1. My water/sweat resistant headphones, because I've RUINED so many before I got these, it isn't even funny.
2. Proper gym attire, because bouncy "girls" are a distraction to EVERYONE, including me, and proper shoes help keep you pain free.
3. Gym membership, because getting my butt into gear to head to the gym keeps me motivated.
(almost made the cut, my heart rate monitor, because it gives a better picture of the calories I'm burning; my food scale & measuring cups, because they help keep me as accountable as I can for what I put in my mouth... at home, at least; my ipod nano, which was a gift, to replace my large ipod. I love it because if it falls, it isn't heavy enough to pull off of the headphones, and it has the Nike+ app)0 -
1. My personal trainer (for years now)

Ok. You've at least made me more intrigued. With so many responses of HRM I went ahead and used an Amazon gift card that has been burning in my pocket towards a Polar FT4. As of now I'm finding it more interesting than helpful, but fingers crossed with time I love it as much as so many of you!0

1. My gym membership
2. Personal Trainer
3. Dietician0 -
1) My gym membership
2) My HRM. I bought it a year ago and it was one of the best investments I've ever made. I love knowing approximately how many calories I burn per workout... usually my HRM shows a figure way lower than the machines!
3) Jillian Michaels workout DVDs (though I'm looking to add Chalean Extreme & the Butt Bible into the mix once I get through my JM DVDs - I kinda went crazy and bought 5 at once! lol). My gym is Retro Fitness and while it's cheap at $20/month, all the classes are an extra $10/class except for the odd free class now and then. I used to like the classes at my old gym and the JM DVDs remind me of the classes I used to take there. I actually like the DVDs better because I can do them in the privacy of my own home.0 -
