If You Could Afford It, Which Would You Rather Have?

April 16, 2008

Hopefully you all know that I'm giving away $1000 to help one lucky winner get in tip top shape for beach time. (So if you haven't entered the giveaway yet, click here). Although it is important to feel good about yourself when headed to the beach, it's also important to feel good every day. So that got me thinking about ways to stay healthy in general, all year round.

So I was wondering . . .

Personal Yoga instructor! I could ask lots of questions, get personal and private in conversational topics, be able to ask for specific poses or sequences that I really like or want to work on, have a pace built on how I am feeling that day body and mind, to perhaps practice in different settings. I just love the idea of it.

I'd go with the trainer. I used to work with one, but when I lost my job, that was the first thing to get cut off my list. Now that I'm employed again, I definitely have the money to start back with a trainer, but I'd rather win the money to do it! I need the most help with strength training my upper body - I'm fine with cardio (running, elliptical, dance, swimming), but the arms and back could use some (ok, a lot) of assistance. But if I don't win, the bf has offered to help me out in the weight room so I'm not so intimidated by all the guys!

I'd take the equipment for my house. I'd get a nice elliptical, treadmill and bike so I'd have no excuse.

personal trainer!!!!!!!! it's also probably the most expensive of the three choices :(

I'd take the treadmill or maybe an elliptical. I'm a student pretty far from home, so the other two options wouldn't be very practical for me because I go to school 14 hours from home, so my personal trainer/yoga instructor would have to travel with me! Having a treadmill or elliptical in my dorm room would be mega perfect because we have bad weather a lot. I need something like that because I'm getting really tired of being winded from just walking across campus!

i really want an elliptical at home. i lived in a building with cardio machines one year, and it was so easy to just be able to hop on the elliptical whenever i wanted. that was the fittest i've ever been, and i'd love to get that back!

I want a treadmill, BAD! I already have an elliptical, but to mix stuff up, I'd love to have my own treadmill to add to my home gym.

it kills me to not have a gym membership any more. it's too expensive in nyc on my entry level paycheck. a membership to equinox would be incredible!

I pay 100 per week for my trainer... expensive??? OF COURSE! But really totally worth it! I've been going to the gym and seeing him since January 1st and I never looked better!

i would LOVE a pilates instructor.... or an elliptical at my house!!! it's hard to decide!!!

MandyJoBo 5 years 4 weeks

I already have an at-home gym, and I love it. What I really want is a personal pilattes instructor to come to my house 5x a week, and a pilattes machine(s). Or Yoga, either one. Preferably pilattes because that counts as a trainer too, since it's such good muscle work.

i would love the year of pilates/yoga instruction. how wonderful would that be?

I love going to the gym anyway, so I don't need a trainer for the motivation - I'd loooove to have private yoga or Pilates lessons!

Trainer :) although I tried yoga/pilates a couple of times and liked it a lot! But i think a trainer would def motivate me and push me harder!

i have a treadmill at home so a year with a trainer would be ideal for me!! cause i feel better and more motovated when someone tells me what to do...

If I had my own elliptical at home, I would be on it all the time. I always have to have something to do when I watch TV, and exercising would be pretty productive. And I bet I could get my husband to use it regularly too.
