When I was first asked to pick my favorite B&H items for our Things We Love project, I was at a loss. Not because I thought I’d lack in material, but just the opposite: I couldn’t narrow it down. You see, here at B&H we’re fortunate enough to enjoy excellent access to products, and I’ve done my part to help the company I call home by pouring into it a substantial percentage of my salary and getting lots of cool stuff in return.

And because exercise is such a crucial part of my daily routine, there are a handful of fitness gadgets that I simply could not live (or lift) without. In the spirit of this week's holiday, I’d like to present those items to you now and sing
