Activewear and Shoes
What I wear to work out in MATTERS. If I'm not comfortable, I'm likely to give it up pretty quickly.
I like the double layers of these. At first I wasn't too sure, but I am the type of person who appreciates the under layer. I don't have to worry about flashing someone as I work out!

These are a super comfy short-short option.
Crisscross Hourglass® Booty Short - Black
Usually I like a little bit longer shorts and I have several pairs of these.

My go to leggings. The best part - they have pockets!

Bras
I've been guilty of buying kind of crappy shoes for years. I have no arch in my feet so without shoes, my feet and ankles angle to the center instead of resting as they should. I finally got a pair of Brooks a couple months ago and I don't think I wi...

Having a good home set-up has been a game changer!
I'll never go back to the traditional rubber bands again. These are cloth and they don't roll or slide around at all. Ridiculously comfy to use!

I don't use weights every day, but I do use them frequently. Having them available in a large variety of sizes is awesome.

BOSU NexGen Home Fitness Exercise Gym Strength ...
I LOVE walking. Like, I could do it all day and be happy. You know what I don't love? COLD. So once it's consistently below 50 degrees (here in Minnesota that's about 6 months out of the year) I hibernate. A walking pad is a way to stay active and ke...

I use this under the table while I work.
ANCHEER Under Desk Elliptical Trainer Machine with ...
Yoga blocks are my secret to increasing flexibility! They can help support you if you can quite reach a position, but also, if you're hyper flexible like me, you can push yourself further. For instance, I stand on a block to do to reaches. When I sta...

Hydration Essentials
Hydration is always needed, but when you're sweating hard it's even more important!
Liquid IV is my favorite hydration drink. There are a ton of flavors and they have a no sugar option which is great for people like me who have a can sugar intolerance!
I don't always love plain water, so la croix is a great hydration option in those moments that I was a refreshing cold drink that will hydrate without a laundry list of ingredients.

This is a great water bottle for the gym.

While I mostly workout at home, I do take some dance classes, occasionally go to the gym, and love going to different parks to walk. These are the things I always grab when I'm on the go.
