I enjoy a good workout and I am slowly starting to incorporate it back into my routine. I have a home workout space and I will share all fitness and fitness related items here. From equipment to water bottles.

Yoga clothing that's comfortable and moves well.

Tired of packing ceramic plates that shatter on the first trip, or flimsy dollar store cups that crack the moment someone sits on a backpack? I hauled heavy, breakable dishware on backcountry trips for years before I figured out what actually works. This is for the car camper, the backpacker, and the weekend warrior who wants real dishes that survive being dropped on rocks and barely register on a pack scale. Took me three seasons and a lot of broken stuff to land on these.

These are my go to products for working out. The best sports bra, my favorite pre-workout, the headbands I can't live without and my tried and true leggings, tops and shorts - not to mention, the best, most comfortale shoes.

My top tier yoga and Pilates products from 20 years in the business. As a student, a teacher, or a manager these products have served me so well!

Affordable workout equipment that you'll really use and not just use for a drying rack. These are things that I use or people in my family use at home when we feel like saying that we're exercising, plus some personalized things that you can give as gifts or get for yourself.

As I go through my fitness journey there are definitely things I love and others that didn’t help me personally ~ This is a list of things I use on my fitness journey and some others I’m looking forward to trying 🤍

We all need our hot girl walks outside to keep calm and carry on! I love them so much because it's nice to take time to breathe the fresh air and clear my mind.

Get moving this Fall! Here are some recs to get you sweating, stretching and spending time in the great outdoors!

Paying $55 a month to wait in line for machines felt ridiculous — so I canceled, bought a stack of resistance bands, and honestly got in better shape at home. If you're someone who hates crowded gyms, travels too much to commit to one, or just wants a full body workout without buying a squat rack, this is the exact setup I landed on after a lot of trial and error.

I’ve grown up camping and it’s truly just a great refresh to this busy life we live. You can get out of the house and into the woods, be with nature and get away from all the technology. It really is a relaxing getaway! I camped almost every weekend in the summer growing up, then life happened and it’s been years since I’ve been able to do it, but my husband and I recently bought a camper and we get to enjoy this with our kids. I’ve never been so excited to show my kids something I grew up doing.

Everything I'm packing for a snow trip — the warm, waterproof layers and little essentials that actually keep you comfortable on the mountain. I'm a San Diego girl, so cold weather packing does not come naturally to me, and this is the kit I put together so I can stay warm, dry, and cute from the slopes to the lodge. If you're heading somewhere snowy and don't know where to start, start here.

After a car clipped my handlebar one October evening, I finally stopped messing around with cheap clip-on lights from the dollar bin. If you ride after 5pm and cars act like you're invisible — I spent six months testing lights so you can skip the near-death experiences I had.

Planning a freediving trip to Dahab and drowning in conflicting packing lists? I spent three months prepping for my first Blue Hole session and made every rookie mistake possible. Bought the wrong fins, forgot sun protection that actually works in the desert, and showed up without half the stuff I needed. This is the exact gear, training tools, and local spots I wish someone had told me about before I flew out.

Spent two years buying cheap gym stuff that broke, stank, or fell apart mid-workout — finally landed on the things that actually hold up without costing a paycheck.

My favorite brands of chews, gels and hydration to get me through longer distance runs.

Hauling a yoga mat plus keys, phone, water bottle, and a change of clothes in separate bags was making me dread going to class. If you're the person who shows up juggling three things and drops your mat in the parking lot — I spent way too long searching so you can skip straight to the good stuff.

Sharing all the activewear I wear for my own yoga practice. I love a good tube top with a bike short or leggings. You will see me in these on Youtube.

Sitting at a desk eight hours a day was slowly wrecking my energy and my mood. I started a daily step challenge with three friends and suddenly needed a watch that could actually keep up, sync our stats, and make the competition feel real. If you want to stop guessing your step count and start actually hitting 10K with people who hold you accountable, this is everything I tested and kept.

Chic, minimalist gym outfits you’ll actually want to be seen in ;)

Got stuck above treeline in a surprise thunderstorm last October. Winds dropped the temp 30 degrees in minutes and I was shaking so hard I couldn't open my pack. That night changed how I prepare for every single trip. If you hike, camp, or just keep a go-bag in your trunk, this is the gear that weighs almost nothing but could keep you alive when things go sideways. Took me a scary night and months of research so you can skip both.

Ballpark days are some of the best days—but they’re also long, messy, sunny, chilly, and everything in between. These essentials help you stay comfortable, organized, and ready to cheer your player on, while making the whole season feel smoother and more fun.

The gym should be a safe and comfortable place for you to work on yourself.

If you've ever hit downward dog and your mat slowly drifted across the hardwood like it had somewhere to be, this list is for you. I live in a 600-square-foot apartment with slippery laminate floors and I went through five mats before I figured out what actually works. Saved you the wasted money and the frustration.

September brings a fresh reset. Between getting back into structured workout routines and heading out on early autumn weekend getaways, having gear that transitions seamlessly between the gym and travel is non-negotiable.

Movement doesn’t have to mean 6 a.m. bootcamps and green juice (unless that’s your thing). For me, it’s about finding ways to feel strong, get fresh air, and boost my mood - while still being realistic with two kids, zero free time, and a busy brain. Here are my go-to workouts, gear, and inspo for staying active without the guilt trip.

Tired of pausing mid-run to shove your headband back into place? I spent six months cycling through headbands that slipped, pinched, or turned into sweat sponges before landing on these. If you have fine hair, thick hair, or that annoying in-between texture that refuses to cooperate, this lineup covers it. Grab these before your next gym session so you stop looking like a wet sheepdog by mile two.

You know that moment when the wind catches a paper plate and sends it tumbling across three rows of cars? Or when someone knocks over the bag of empties and suddenly your whole tailgate crew looks like litterers? I spent years being that person chasing trash across the lot. This list is for the tailgate host who wants to keep things fun without leaving a disaster behind. Took me five seasons of trial and error, so grab what you need before football kicks off.

If you want to start playing pickleball, these are a few things to consider grabbing!

Practicing yoga at home used to feel like stretching on carpet while my dog stared at me — no vibe, no focus, no flow. If you've tried following YouTube classes in your living room and it just feels off, this is everything I added piece by piece until my spare room actually felt like somewhere I wanted to practice. Took me over a year of trial and error so you can skip straight to what works.

I love to exercise, but I have always struggled with consistency because 1. I'm too cheap to pay for a gym membership and 2. I get anxiety working out around other people. These are just a few of the items that have made it easy for me to stay consistent with working out! Tip: Find a few different forms of exercise that you enjoy, and try alternating between them!

I have loved sports since my early childhood! As a young girl wanting to play baseball in my area growing up, the rules were that you had to wait until age 8, unless you had a brother on the team, then you could start as young as six. You best believe I did! I wanted to play football as well, but mom wouldn't let me play on a team. So I did the next best thing and played with all the boys in the neighborhood every chance I could! And when I wasn't outside playing, I would watch these movies to hold me over!

look good, feel good DUH! as someone who likes to walk upwards of 20,000 steps a day, these are some of my favorite workout sets, shoes, and accessories.

As a hot yoga sculpt instructor, workout sets are my everyday uniform. Therefore, I have tried tons of different brands and styles of workout clothes. These are all of my fav, hot yoga approved workout clothes.

Walking has so many benefits. If it's the only exercise you do, it will be (almost) enough - should still try to get some strength training in. The items on this list will elevate you daily walk.

Ripped calluses, bar burn, and that lovely moment when you peel your hands off a barbell and they look like raw meat. If you lift regularly and your hands are paying the price, I spent two years cycling through every glove, grip, and palm protector I could find. Here's what actually held up and what was a waste of money, before your hands get any worse.

Camping trips go wrong in three predictable places: you sleep badly, you cannot cook, or you have nowhere to get out of the sun. So I built this around those three problems instead of by aisle. Sleeping is the part people underbuy and regret first, and it is covered here with the Coleman Brazos rated for cold nights, a 2.5-inch sleep pad, the packable Trekology inflatable pillow, and a cooling mattress pad if you are in an RV or camper. Cooking is the Coleman two-burner propane stove, the MalloMe pot-and-pan mess kit, and a soft canvas cooler that packs down better than a hard-sided one. Water covers a LifeStraw for filtering on hikes plus a spigot container for camp. Then the sun and shade layer: a 10x10 Skyshade shelter, a pop-up UPF 50+ tent, two wide-brim boonie hats, and polarized sunglasses in both a splurge and a budget version. Prices start around $15 for a hat or a pillow and run up to the stove and the shelter, so you can fill one gap before a weekend trip or outfit a first setup from nothing. Good for fall camping when the nights get cold, first-time campers borrowing the rest, and families who want the sleeping situation sorted before they go. Save it before your next trip.

Marathon training and everyday running essentials. From fuel to shoes, I've added all of my favorite things.

I put this list together for fellow basketball fans who love Kobe shoes as much as I do. These are some of the Kobe styles that stand out to me, from performance pairs that feel great on the court to iconic designs I’d happily wear off the court too.

Between volleyball practice, school, and sleepovers, my daughter was cramming her life into a ripping JanSport every single day. She refused anything ‘too kiddy’ and I refused to buy a fourth replacement bag this year. Took us weeks of returns and arguments, but we finally nailed the setup — bag, organizers, and all the stuff that goes inside. If your teen is hauling sports gear, school stuff, and a change of clothes in one bag, save yourself the headache and start here.

If you have a child in gymnastics or cheer and they love to practice, even when not in class, these are the tools, equipment, and some leotards I recommend to anyone wanting to be a serious gymnast or for those who just love the sport like I do!

These basic items hold a very strong factor in my daily sports routine! If you're someone who has been dabbling on the thought of giving your daily sweat time a little more justice, here's a fair start with very subtle changes which would help keep you on track!

Living in a small apartment and trying to work out at home felt impossible — every piece of equipment either ate up my entire living room or turned into an expensive coat rack. If you've ever tripped over a dumbbell at 2am or had to explain your pull-up bar to a date, this list is the stuff I actually kept after returning everything else. Took me a year and a lot of wasted money to figure out what fits a real small space.

Spending all your time taxiing kids to sports practice, games or meets? Here are the items we have found helpful as a year round sports family.
