Weigh-In Wednesday, Fit Gear

It's weigh in Wednesday, and I'm not going to "weigh in" on myself. I'm going to weigh in on fitness gear that I am really into at the moment. Now, these may or may not be things that I have. I'll just let you know if it's a GOT IT and LOVE IT or a I WANT THIS NOW!!! kinda thing. Ok? Moving on...

1. FitBit ~ http://www.fitbit.com/comparison/trackers

The FitBit One

 The FitBit Flex 

The FitBit Force

Each one measures your distance, steps and calories burned throughout the day. They all track your sleep (I'm not sure I need a device for this, I have 3 kids, I'm not sleeping enough). They all come with an alarm clock to wake you from your sleep. Again, I have kids, I don't need anything to wake me or keep me up. Syncs to a Mac or a PC. Pretty easy to track your activity etc. They all run on a rechargeable battery. Pretty nice since button batteries are dangerous to keep around small kids and expensive to replace. And last but not least, they all come with applications for tracking nutrition, workouts and can let you set goals! The prices range from: $99.95 to $129.95 (the FitBit One, the FitBit Flex and the FitBit Force respectively). I WANT THIS NOW!!! The Force does all of this and can fold laundry. Or at least it should for the price. It's gotta be the best one on the market for that price right? I really need to test drive one of these!

2. Water bottles ~ If you're working out, you're drinking. WATER! So you need a water bottle. I am all about reuseable plastics and right now this water bottle is AWESOME!

I do NOT have this bottle, but someone could buy me one. I also like this one,

the HydraCoach. It measures how much water you've takin in that day. Pretty neat, but I have my own system. DRINK like crazy. Water weight does come off. If I over drink water, I may need to use the rest room a lot, but I won't get fat. With winter right around the corner, a good water bottle is a must because you want it clean. CLEAN. If it's going through your dishwasher, those fancy ones with filters etc just won't work. Get a BPA FREE good plastic bottle that you can steralize in the dishwasher and reuse it. 

3. Apple iPod ~ I love my iPod Nano 16GB. It's pink, like this

The best part of this is that it's rechargeable, it has Nike Fit on it (a pedometer is included) and it can shuffle! So I use this when I refuse to use my Nook Color or my Kindle Fire. It's just good stuff.

Last but NOT least

4. MyFitnessPal mobile phone app.

I use this every day. EVERY day. It's my lifeline. I track all my major meals on it. Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner and Snacks. It has a barcode scanner to help find items so that you can add them, it's got a great selection of fitness (cardio and strength training). It has a main wall so you and your fitness buddies can keep track and motivate one another. It's just like a daily diary that narks on you. But I love it. Can't believe I didn't like this before this year. Best thing I ever did. Don't have a smart phone? Use it online! Myfitnesspal.com Thanks for listening to me whine about what I want. I have a huge case of the gimme gimmes.
