Ok, so Santa's coming soon and assuming we've all been good little boys and girls, we'll all get what we want on the 25th, right? Well, what if Santa's on a health kick this year and the only gift he's giving is a magical $1000 debit card that can only be used to purchase exercise- or fitness-related paraphernalia? What are YOU going to do with your $1000?
For me, I would purchase: 1) the new "Nike Amp+" watch/iPod remote cuz it looks cool and is a great idea!; 2) the "Nike+ Runner's Gift Pack" which comes with an 8G 3rd generation Nano with video and some other cool stuff; 3) a pair of Nike Air Max '97 360's ($200); and with whatever's leftover, I would use it to buy 4) Nike running gear/clothes. Oh, btw, did I mention I like Nike stuff? : )

Does "The Rock" offer personal training sessions? If so, let's pray that they are less than $1,000 cuz that is where my money would go...and of course, any money exchanged is for "time" only...ok, to be serious, I really like those Elliptical machines at my gym with the TV's attached so I guess I would buy an elliptical machine (fortunately the nordic track audio strider 990 costs $999)...
and you could use the leftover dollar to download a bumpin' jam from iTunes! : )
If I'm responsible, I'd get a big piece of equipment too--an elliptical or treadmill (Leona'd probably prefer the treadmill, but I shorten my stride on them and get chin splints, so I'd go for the elliptical). We'd have to negotiate which...
But I'd love to have a bunch of gadgets & goodies to go with my activity, and an extra pair of running shoes so I could travel with a pair & still have a pair at home.
hey kath, by "chin splints" are you saying what i think you're saying: you'd fall and hit your chin on the machine?? If so, I have a treadmill horror story, too. I used to like running on the treadmill until one day during peak hours at a typical jam-packed day at Bally's, i was running along on the treadmill noticing how cute i looked in the mirror when all of a sudden I was horizontal and hanging on to the side bars for dear life as the tread mill proceded to shred off a layer of skin on my shins. Of course I popped right back up and played it off as though nothing odd had just happened and that I meant to do that, all the while screaming on the inside cuz my shins were on fire and lightly bleeding. I can imagine how stupid I looked to the people behind me and I'm sure they had a great story to tell their friends at home. Now I'm afraid to go back on a treadmill for fear of falling again. The end. : )
I'd spend my $1000 on a kick-start weekend at a spa. I'd eat a cleansing diet, work out, take a sauna, get a massage, get skin treatments and do yoga.
i gotta go with the elliptical dreamers! i would love to have one in the house that i could fold up (preferably to the size of a small hankerchief) and store someplace out of the way.
i've been really good, santa! can i get another $1000 to get myself a bowflex too? :-)
kev, that treadmill story makes me scream every time! did i ever tell you how i was inline skating, doing tricks to impress that girlies, and i fell and busted up my knee and elbow? like you, i tried to play it off, but the blood soon started gushing. on the outside i was cool, but on the inside, i was WHIMPERING! :-)
pdw, thanks for empathizing with me! What is it about fitness related injuries that make us feel like we gotta be cool and pretend whatever just happened didn't hurt, all the while crying on the inside? "Walk it off, suck it up, and save those tears for your mama, big baby!", right? : )
Kev, I mean chin (shin??) (as in the lower legs)...they burn like hell about 90 seconds into the tread, regardless of speed or incline.
Luckily, the worst thing I've had fly off the treadmill was my old iPod--maybe that's what dislodged the hard drive??
PDW, I'm so glad you don't have to impress the girlies anymore--that shit's dangerous! And you're not the kind of girl that someone will swoop in with a bandaid for you (well, Michelle will, but you know what I'm referring to!)
