    If you don't have an HRM or a food scale, get a Polar FT4 for $60 and a scale for $20 or so.

    If you do have a scale, you can get the FT4 and something else, or get the Polar FT7 for around $90-100.

    If you have a scale and a good HRM, I'd get a contoured kettle bell. The only brand I know of that is contoured is GoFit, and it comes with a 30-minute Bob Harper workout DVD that has made me sore for three days after doing it the two times I've done it so far. Well worth the money.

    As already mentioned, an HRM is a great investment but I would also recommend a fitbit. This has been my best motivational tool to get much more exercise.

    Way to go on your Master's Degree!! Amazing!
    I would buy work out clothes. Honestly, it's something I need now. I like to be comfortable when getting my sweat on!

    a groupon deal for some exercise class i've never taken (they are usually like $40 here), new converse for weight lifting ($45), and i'd spend the rest on new nail polish :smile:

    with that budget i suggest invest it in weights. a usual low cost dumbbells will work wonders.

    $100? A FitBit, of course! It's a pedometer on steroids and integrates with MFP!

    It's silly expensive which makes it a treat, and it's a gift that WILL motivate you to get off your butt and move!

    And...oh yeah -- it's FUN!

    Get a nice medicine (Rage) ball and/or kettlebell(s) (depending on the weight you need ... you just need one of each) then do Tabata.

    An HRM. I would never buy it on my own with my own money but with gift money, sure!

    I'd search craigslist for some workout equipment.


    At the minimum I would get a foam roller, reistance bands, a set of dumbbells, and a yoga mat.
    Then if you have a bit left over, get yourself a cheap workout outfit, if you feel good about the way you look, you're gonna be happier and more likely to workout IMO.
