This is pretty open ended. Anything from exercise related activity or equipment to healthy habits.
Perhaps a small amount on bike repairs for the year? New running shoes? Maybe an entire new home gym? Seeing a nutritionist to have a healthier lifestyle?
My yoga mat has seen better days. Maybe time for a new one.
Ah, that's a tough one. I never really calculated in cash what my investment in my health does actually cost.
My bike costs me next to nothing except for 2 tires that I desperately need. I believe I have found a "sponsor" for them, one being my brother that I believe will give them, nicely wrapped for my Christmas. But let's not anticipate...
I do pay for insurance for my bike, which is covered by my general liability insurance. Who knows what kind of nonsense I am capable of. I do use some protein bars on my bike river path runs when I feel I am as deflated as my front tire is. I also go through at least one pair of running shoes (sneakers) every year when I go jogging. My jogging outfit has a number of years behind it and I will certainly need one pretty soon.
If I do the math, the bare minimum will cost me at least $200/£167/INR16,000 (my goodness, what a lot of INR those are). I am not sure I can afford the INR honestly :-(
Thanks for the opinion and sorry for the like. Accidental misfire there. I recall you needing new tires.
I am the same. I go through one pair a year. The thing I need to get is a new yoga mat. Not exactly a high expense item but my current one has been around a minute or two.
It is at the point where certain areas of the mat that are now smooth.
You’re welcome and I had filed an official complaint regarding the mat and Mr. B** was kind enough to pick up a new one on his way home.
It is a nice thick one. I have all the grip I need now. Ready for some week-end yoga! 🙂
As a household, I don’t wanna know🤣
The bulk of the spending is likely my husband with tuneups on all of his bikes and generally new chains and new tires at a minimum every year. This past year was likely the most expensive, because he replaced the drivetrain on his favorite bike, which was 15 years old. Outside of all that, all five of us get at least one new pair of shoes for outdoor activities every year.
So in a normal year I would tell you a couple thousand dollars.
Thanks for the reply @emiliamazing! Wow, that is a lot. Of course, without having children yet, it is relatively low cost in our household. I do mostly yoga and run. Both low cost activities for exercise.
About a pair of shoes per year to run.
The kids are always outgrowing shoes, and I think he rides on average 100 to 150 miles a week. Sometimes it’s more. Tires and chain seem to be going up in price. He does a lot of maintenance himself, but when it comes to tuneup and wheel truing he prefers at least two of the bikes always go to his favorite shop.
Yep, I get that. Kids outgrow stuff so quickly. Hopefully, that will be a problem I face in the not too distant future with some of our own. 🙂
I hope so too :-)! At least in the outdoor recreation equipment area, our youngest boy gets a lot of the nice stuff that our oldest boy outgrows. That’s how we roll with the bikes and a few other items. My husband quit running about five or six years ago because it was taking too much toll on his feet/ankles. He now rides year round as long as there’s no hail or heavy snow coming down.
While I do run, it isn't my main exercise. I mostly do yoga. I love to swim but that can be a hassle trying to find a place to do that. My parent's have a pool but it isn't really for swimming. It is for getting in and cooling off.
I get why he likes to ride versus run. Lower impact. I'll get to that point some day as well. I do like to ride a bike but isn't really the best where I live to do so.
We have friends who are older than us that have ran their entire lives without issues. I have a feeling it has to do a little bit with genetics and form. The good news is that you like to move. I’m sure your fiancé does as well :-)
Does he ever. He is a twice a day workout person. He is more into the weights and such. I'm more into the cardio. He runs with me but he has to get his weight training (or whatever you call it) in once a day.
Have an awesome day and thanks for the conversation! Time to check in with my hubby and the kids. I’m out of town right now. He’s probably scrambling to get them ready for school
Thanks! Take care!
Thank you for the MHO!
It was nice reading through your conversation with SueShe as well!
You both are inspiring ☺️. I just walk briskly and ride my stationary bike. Maybe I should start yoga again, it’s been years and I do have a mst (it’s been lonely. Should I replace it?
Not enough lately Priya. I do Yoga maybe two days a week and it used to be 3 or 4 days a week. COVID really created a problem for me since my close YOGA studio closed and relocated.
Trying to get back to where I was before COVID.
That is a bummer they moved away. I hate when a good place closes down.
That is such a shame. Just another example of how COVID sucks.
As an addendum, our studio that Monica built over many years was like a Monks Monastery, complete with all the trappings, windows covered with pics of monks, in Lotus, all the walls replete like you might expect in a real Buddhist Monastery, old wood, framings around figurines, She said she had another woman, help build all of the wood framing around wonderful artifacts that reminded each of us where we were. I was almost in tears when she had to sell to a buy that later closed the studio. He TRIED to recreate the same environment but fail in doing so. We had 'hammocks' suspended from the ceiling that we could do aerial things, 'uside down suspension and various other aerial things. Just a wonderful place, you cannot imagine. I took pictures one time but don't know if I still have them. If I do, I will post them.
Bruce
I would love to see the pictures if you post sometime about your studio. Sounds amazing!
I'm about to go run 6 miles
I'm a runner as well. That and yoga. Pretty much just new shoes each year. Enjoy your run!
Omg... no shoes? Doesn't that hurt your feet?
No actually! After 3 or 4 runs, you build up calluses on the bottom of your feet! hahha my feet feel like leather because of the layer of tough skin underneath. I do mostly run on grass cause that just feels nice.
The only thing that really hurts is when you run on concrete that is hot. It's fine for small distances, but there's a section that's about a mile of concrete that gets realllllly hot on my 6 mile route, so I only do that one early in the day. After running that long you burn about 1000 calories, so my biggest investment into running is eggs lol. I'll end up eating an 8 egg omelette after a run like
today!
I also used to go to the gym 6 days a week, but I'm currently recovering from a bench pressing shoulder injury.
Okay, that makes sense then if you aren't running much on hard, hot surfaces much. That is quite a workout though. 6 miles is a good ways. Hope you recover from the injury soon!
I don’t spend a lot. I most run and do yoga. Both not expensive. Just maybe running shoes once a year. Only thing for yoga is a mat and they are cheap.
My SO spends a considerable amount more on exercise equipment and weights and stuff. Keep rehabbing! You’ll get there soon! 🙂
Yeah. It isn’t anything crazy but this thing that has four “stations” (that’s what he calls them) for lifting weights.
Not entirely sure what all the stuff does. What I can say is that it takes up enough room in a spare bedroom area to annoy me 😂
Eh, good on him though for working out as much as he does. At least he uses it and it hasn’t become dusty!
You are welcome! I enjoyed the conversation.

Not as much as I thought I would. The place I work for offers really really good insurance with flex spending I can use on health related things through the year. It also provides discounted rates for gym memberships associated with my work.
And I buy a lot of new running shoes lol
I'm the same. I buy new running shoes each year. I get a lot of use out of them between running and yoga. That is about it for me. Now, the koala? Whole other story with that one.
He has to have all this fancy equipment to lift weights and cycle and... yeah, you get the point. Just give me a pair of decent shoes and a yoga mat.
Uhm this year I did buy a new pair of ice skaters, for me and my sister, total of 100€
The entrance fee for the ice hall, for both of us it was 4€/ each time and we actually just went in Feb. And Mar. and that's pretty much it
Plus I have to pay 5€ for my medicine and that's maybe a total of 20€ in a year
I wouldn't even have a clue how much I spend on my health and fitness because to me it's as important as breathing.
I pay for a gym membership, but do most of my workouts in my home gym. I enjoy both calisthenics and lifting.
I like to eat healthy and don't mind spending a little extra to get products or ingredients for it.
So yeah, not a clue. 😄
I don't get massages as much anymore, i focus mostly on diet and exercise.
I save money with my diet and gyms/exercising is free.
I invest a lot of time, not so much money.
When i get back to the states though, I'll be engaging in a lot more spa days.
And I do plan to buy a new pair of sneakers.
It’s not a matter of how much money, because that’s just simple things like sneakers, and clothes. It’s the time, and that’s normally an hour a day. Sometimes more.
I'm mostly the same. Things like running shoes and simple stuff. My other half? Whole other story...
@PrettyPriya yep. I have a treadmill, but I paid cash for it a long time ago, so it doesn’t count.
@KatherineJ I had showed him how many people just buy simple things to workout and his comment to me about the treadmill was "All you need is a hamster wheel for your size. Those are cheap."
I can't win...🙄
@PrettyPriya did you remind him that short girls are mean when they are annoyed?
@KatherineJ He is aware now...
@PrettyPriya good. I hope you weren’t too mean the first time. Now then, if he needs a reminder in the future….🤭
@KatherineJ He is getting the silent treatment for being a big meanie.
@PrettyPriya he doesn’t realize that you are closer to the ground…perfect placement for correcting bad behavior. 😈
In a year not much, unless you count protein lol. I bought some simple equipment, do I workout at home. I have a great bike , not that much maintenance. I do wish I could afford a nutritionist\cook and a personally trainer. Would be so much easier. Oh I play ice hockey as a goalie duh. So 430CAD for 28 games.
I'm fortunate. My health insurance includes a membership gym. I usually do cardio four days a week and include some weight training. One company had some workout equipment and a shower. That was convenient.
I have a jiujitsu school membership and I invest in my diet every month. That's gotta be more than $2000 per year
Nice! That is quite a bit but worth it for being healthy and fit. Thanks for the opinion.
Supplements, nutrition, new clothes/ shoes, probably over 1000
Shoes seem to be a common trend for most each year. Thanks for the opinion!
During the past 2 years I had literally spent nothing on my health but this year I took a gym membership, quit after two months because the place got overcrowded. So recently I bought myself a dumbbell set and some more equipments (10k inr) and I’m trying to keep myself in shape Lol.
I buy my own stuff and avoid gym fees and just keep it up, replace as necessary. Not keeping old broke stuff
Thanks for the opinion! We don't have a ton of home equipment. I'm mostly running and yoga. Both of which are low cost activities.
I prefer doing in home calisthenics. It's cheap so I mainly invest my time. As for food, my mother helps me save money by getting healthy foods to me. She's also better at cooking than me.
We both have gym memberships including a swimming pool which I love to use. Also we spend more on healthier foods instead of the cheap frozen packaged foods.
Nothing really don't use equipment or anything , I do squats on the floor 😂 you spend a lot on healthy food?
I find it easier to spend money on healthy food versus non healthy food. Fruits and veggies aren't nearly the cost of fast food or junk food items.
Awwwwww I agree , I love any food 😂
u that's what I like too about soccer... it doesn't cost much to be able to keep up with it, lol
Can’t put a price on it, health is wealth right👏🏾 For each day you’re exercising you’re keeping your body mind and soul healthy
It's not really a per year kinda thing like in the nast couple of years I got myself a free cross trainer and bought a set of dumbbells for £30 so like £10-£15 a year
I buy new shoes once a year and pay $20 a month for a gym fee
Annnnnddd... of course it is a real user. Sorry for the tag. 😕
I do a varied set of different workouts 5 or 6 days a week, at least 90 minutes a day.
Not as much as I should invest. I really need to change that Lol
Running shoes, gym membership, athletic wear, water flasks, homemade healthy proportionate meals. Bought it.
No as much as I should, but I'm not bad for my age lol
That is okay though! I am a health and fitness freak and I don't spend that much. I have about worn a hole in my yoga mat I have had it so long.
I usually exercise about an hour per day (either weight training or cardio) so I guess about 365 hours.
Not too much I'm afraid. Priya, I need your opinion on something please xc
I’d be happy to share an opinion. I am still at work but please do ask and I will do my best. Thanks!!
Hi girls. Context, there's a girl, we re not friends, but we know each other, friends in common and that stuff, she's really gorgeous and she knows I find her attractive, she's like, not to offend you girls... the one that seems impossible for everyone, keep reading. A few times we've been together somewhere, she laughs at my jokes, we talked a little, but still seems unreachable. I have like this feelings she's just trying to seem interesting or something, like a feeling she dont like me, but she has something with me, and recently she followed me on IG, after that I sent her a follow, but suddenly she stopped following me and declined my request. Is she trying to seem interesting, calling attention or what, tour thoughts hahah
I’m just on lunch right now but will respond when done with work. 👍
I pay for a gym membership. I also bought a home gym setup during covid
My health is my biggest priority so I will always ensure that it is well protected.
Nothing except emergency dental treatment, and most years not even that.
Every 10 years add up positively or negative to your heart , mind , body and Soul
Yes, I work as a ballet instructor :)
Wow! That is an interesting job. Do you work with all ages or little ones or?
All ages.
Very cool. 🙂
Running Shoes and gym membership.
And took up yoga during the pandemic.
I'm the same as far as the shoes and yoga. I keep it pretty simple. Thanks for the opinion!
Yogamat and YouTube.
