Every year spending on fitness reaches new heights.
Well this year I've spent:
$75 on a running course
$119 on running shoes (last year actually, and part of a gift)
$468 on my gym membership ($39 per month for my son and I)
$10 on a pilates tape
for a grand total of:
In the past 12 months we have purchased 3 workout videos (one was an old one off ebay) that probably totaled 30 all together, and spent 20 dollars to download FitDay software onto our computer. I've also bought 2 pairs of workout pants and two workout shirts. So not too much these past 12 months, but the year before that we spent 700 on a treadmill, about 50 on weights, 100 on new running shoes, and 80 dollars on Gilad's QuickFit system (workout dvds).

Oh scary. Do I REALLY wanna know the amouts?
I'm not going to break it down, but here's my total:
~$650.00
AUGH!!!!
OK, let me add this up:
$190/quarter for HKD=$760 holy cow, that's a lot
$40 for a good pair of running shoes (on sale of course)
$19 for a cardio DVD
$15 for a subscription to Fitness mag
I think that's it, I sure hope so. $834! This was a very enlightening QOTW. I had better start saving because it's going to cost me a couple hundred more on top of dues when I test for black belt.

$8 on a talking pedometer. That's it.

Too Much probably. I'm going to weight watchers so that costs me 10.95 a month. I have tried a few weight loss products such as Tyrodene and last year is when I bought slim in 6.
I like Slim in 6 but the tyrodene I think made me sick.
$801.00 a year for karate.
