Adding supplements to you gym routine is a must! Having the extra protein will help your body recover from the harsh workouts and allow you to feel you best for the next workout!
Out of all the protein powder mixes this one taste the best. It comes in 18 different flavors but I love the Extreme Milk Chocolate! I drink this 30 minutes after I leave the gym
OPTIMUM NUTRITION GOLD STANDARD 100% WHEY PROTEIN
You need daily vitamins especially if you workout. I saw a change in my skin, hair, nails and overall body once I started taking these. These do not taste bad and come in a capsule form and are easy to swallow
OPTI-WOMEN
Pre workout bottle! I use this one for my pre workouts. Its small enough to fit in my cup holder in my car while I am driving to the gym so that i can finish the shake.
Shaker Bottle
Best Pre-workout out of all of them. I have used many different ones but because I hit the gym at 5:00 am, I truly needed a pre-workout that packs a punch. I drink this 30 minutes prior to working out. Start out slow if you are new to pre-workout as ...
Pre-workout
Whether you are a seasoned veteran at the gym or starting out, soreness is part of the workout. To relieve my soreness, I drink a scoop of this mixed with water. It doesn't come in a lot of flavors but the orange tastes really good and I am not a fan...
Aftershock Post Workout
These are perfect to shake your protein shakes. I make the aftershock before I leave and keep it in the fridge for when I get home. I use another one for the protein shake as well.

Gym Fashion
The main goal for gym clothing is being comfortable and confident while working out. I always ensure my clothes are non see through, holds everything in place and looks stylish while I do it
This sports bra gives coverage in the front. I lift weights and in a lot of positions your shirt is against you. The padding in this bra gives you the coverage you need so you do not have to worry about anything.
Fila Women's Seamless Bra
If you are looking for coverage to keep everything in place, this bra does that. The pads are sown in so washing it is great. The only issue is, the pads are thin so if you get cold, people will notice
Running Sports Bra
Non See through and it has pockets! I do legs twice a week. It is extremely important to find leggings that you cannot see through. I also love that I can hold my phone in my pants! They are easy to wear!
Women's Capri Leggings w/ Pockets
Most important part of your outfit! Working out is harsh on your feet, I always go with a thick ankle sock that is moisture wicking to ensure I do not get blisters.
Women's low ankle socks
Cold days call for long leggings! Non see through and very comfortable, these make me feel secure at the gym no matter what position I am in
Women's Flare Leggings,
Having a large hood in your hoodie is a must for the gym. In the spring and fall this is one of my go to hoodies because it is light and has the hood I love. It is hard to find hoodies with a large hood on them.
Full Zip up Hoodie
These are form fitting but not suffocating. They come in a pack of 4.
4 Racerback Workout Tank Tops for Women
Fit is nice and keeps you warm under the sweatshirt for cold days
Long Sleeve Workout Shirt
These have bought solely for the pockets! When I am not doing leg day or have to bend over much at the gym I wear these. You can see through them when you squat. Otherwise they are comfortable and your phone fits in the pocket
Pocket Legging 2-Pack
The best part about these pants is you can order them in a 29" inseam or 32" inseam so if you are short like me, you can finally have pants that fit nice in length. You cannot see through them and the pockets are not small - you can fit a large phone...
Women's Flare Leggings
This is very comfortable and supports your back. It is easy to sit in and workout. It helps you sweat extra and it makes me feel more confident in my workout clothes
Womens' Sauna Sweat Workout Girdle Slim Belly Band
Shoes
Footwear is very important for your workout! I do cardio and lift weights.
I do 10-15 minutes of cardio which includes running/ walking. These shoes are super comfortable and let your foot breathe. Since I only wear these at the gym they tend to last me 2-3 years.
Nike Running Shoes
Like walking on clouds. When you first get them, you will think they are slippery when you wear socks with them, but after a day or so that works itself out and they are amazing. you can adjust the width to your foot and they have a lot of cushion.
adidas Slides
Electronics
By far the best ones I have ever had. I am reluctant to change as I have had these for 4 years now and they are still good as new. They stay in my ears no matter how much I sweat and they are comfortable to
AirPods (3rd generation) with Lightning Charging ...
Pandora amongst all the others is the best in my opinion. I do not have to download tons of songs in order to shuffle and I can switch from country to podcasts to rap and back to country in one gym session if I want to
Pandora Radio
Equipment
Perfect size for everything. It is medium so its not to large and not to small. It holds all my weight lifting equipment and bottles along with any clothes I need.
Duffel Bag Medium
So much better than the buckle type. The self locking ones allow you to adjust them periodically during your sets and support your back during the dead lifts and squats
Weight Lifting Belt
I love this mat. I use it for my weekly yoga and for stretching before lifting at the gym
Yoga Mat
This is a must have after those hard workouts to loosen up those sore muscles.
