Fitness Gear for the New Year

Thinking of purchasing some new fitness gear for the new year? How do you decide what to buy?
Shoes: purchasing the right shoes can be a daunting task. Be sure to get the type of shoes that fits your fave fitness activity. Running shoes for running... If you are a runner, go to a running store, have the associate check your form, whether you over or under pronate, and assure the proper shoe fit. For indoor or outdoor cycling, go to a cycling shop and chat with them about the cycling shoe that best fits your needs.
Clothing: Finding the right fit and style for you. Some people purchase the same brand over and over again. If a particular brand works for you, it's fine to stick with it, but don't be afraid to try something new, especially if it's on sale. :)
For sports bras: smaller chested women may prefer something that just "squishes" whereas larger chested women will be looking for something that "supports".
I recommend dri-fit material for the majority of your fitness clothing, it wicks away sweat and has the tendency to keep you warmer or cooler as needed. Layering is a great idea for cooler temps.
