Do gadgets or gear motivate you more?

February 8, 2007

When it comes to exercise we all need a little outside motivation. I am wondering what motivates you to get out there and exercise or to push yourself harder - a new gadget or new gear?

Yeah, I'm torn. I can't imagine life without my Ipod. But then I also have a shoe obsession. LOL @lesliann who gets inspired to workout by guys. That is also a good answer, and much more cost-efficient than gadgets and gear. :)

Gear I love when i get cute stuff to hit the gym in! feeling totally great and comfortable in clothes makes all the effort worth it!

Gadgets--I always listen to podcasts when I walk my dog or ride my bike. I think both make the time go by faster. I also recently added a cyclocomputer to my bike. It's totally a vanity thing--it tells me what distance I've traveled, my current speed and my max speed, among other things--but I love it! It does motivate me in some ways--I try to beat my highest speed or longest ride. I'm also looking forward to getting my free pedometer in the mail!
