Day 14: Get Equipped For Exercise | 30-Day Weight Loss-athon
Here we are at Day 14 of the 30-Day Weight Loss-athon.
All tasks in the 30-Day Weight Loss-athon are adapted from the 52 Weight Loss Missions program.
Read the steps first, then take 10 minutes to complete them.
Move fast, act quickly and stop over-thinking. Ready?
What You Need:
- Pen
- Paper
- A shopping trip.
Step 1
On Day 13 we we tackled any actions needed to clear the way for exercising. Today let’s turn to supplies.
Let’s start by making a list of any clothes, equipment or other stuff you need for your exercise program.
Consider:
- Workout clothes
- Supportive sports bra
- Appropriate shoes – eg if running, get shoes that offer running support
- Gym/sports bag
- Water bottle
- Towel
- Sport-specific equipment – eg racquets, balls, skipping rope, swimming costume, boxing gloves, etc
- iPod
- Gadgets – eg heart rate monitor, pedometer, etc
- Workout diary (to track your workouts and log improvements).
Step 2
Next, either head out now to collect your supplies, or make a date in your diary for this shopping trip.
If your budget allows, I recommend you get yourself the cutest workout clothes you can find. Also consider upgrading your water bottle, iPod, and exercise accouterments if they’re old or scruffy. Let’s get every bit of motivation working for you.
So… what’s on your list?

I’m excited to say that my new exercise buddy got me new water bottles for my birthday, I downloaded the Nike+GPS for my iPhone and MyPalFitness so I’m already tracking my exercising and my calorie intake. I have great shoes and comfortable workout clothes also. So I feel I can say Day 14 complete!
ok, so I own sports bras, sneakers, wii, a poncho…what else do I need…oh yeah a scale (I threw out the last one during my last pregnancy 2 years ago…we had a staunch disagreement) all righty then bought a new one today…and we have started a FABULOUS relaionship hehehehe.
I did better being consistent with working out when I printed out a monthly calendar, pre-planned what I would do on ea. day & wrote them on my calendar, so the plan is to get back to that.
By the way, up until today I was receiving the daily email, but didn’t get today. Was there a problem or is it just me?
I’ve had everything I need for awhile. Just have to get my knee better!
I’ve got everything I need! Woo hoo!
This one is handled. I have all the supplies needed.
Have excellent shoes and tunes! In a few more pounds I’ll be getting some cute workout clothes 🙂
I have everything I need but I did just buy a cute new excersize outfit from GAP. 🙂 It was on sale.
I have what I need, just trying to decide if I will keep track in a diary or on my iphone.
one step ahead, bought new clothing yesterday, put on jeans from last winter to go out last night and they are loose as well as really baggy in the legs, already been for my walk and weeded the front garden, just thinking about having some lunch now. gosh I feel great today!
I already have all the supplies I need, and I’m not in the financial position to buy something just because it’s cuter than what I already have, but I did leave my favorite water bottle at my workout area, so I hope that counts! My motivation comes from within ~ ~.
Hoping to o o a specialized running store in a few weeks for some new running shoes. My feet hurt everyday and have heard that Runners Alley fits your shoes so running (well in my case a very slow jog!) is more comfortable.
The list of thing I want/need is long and expensive. So it my be awhile to get it all. But starting off with the most expensive item. Shoes. Hopefully other things will follow not to long after. Getting a new workout outfit is my reward for completing my diet challenge at the end of the month. I can’t wait!!!
Have pretty much they whole deal except shoes. I need some new walking shoes, just haven’t found what I want.
I really have everything I need, but the nice workout clothes I have are a bit unflattering at the moment! I guess THAT is the motivation I need to get exercising – so I can fit my nice stuff! 🙂
Gonna go buy a skipping rope and update my iPod song list!
Got everything I need. Went for a good walk today, and even down by our waterfront. It’s been a great day! I’ve also been making sure to drink more water. That’s something I don’t drink enough of.
Went for a brisk walk with DH this morning. He’s encouraging me so much he bought me a whole new outfit! Couldn’t believe it. I thought we were just walking to the bank and back. It was a truly wonderful surprise (and I look really great in the new clothes and boots).
Already have what I need, just bought new shoes on Monday. Don’t want to buy new clothes that I hope won’t fit in a few months:-)
