After a long summer filled with tasty food and cool drinks, relaxing on the sunbeds all day long and doing absolutely nothing, now it's the time to be really active and offer myself the best workout routines I can๐คธ๐ปโโ๏ธ
Iโve been attending MLB games for years. While some things have stayed relatively the same over the ast few years, there have also been some slow and steady changes to how we live and how things are done. This list should give you a pretty good idea of what might be essential as you head to the ballpark this season based on my own personal experiences.
Spent my first six months bouldering in shoes that felt like slippery socks on plastic โ burned through rental pairs, bought two duds online, and almost quit before I figured out what actually grips. If you're tired of peeling off the wall on every overhang and your feet hurt just thinking about your current pair, this is the lineup that finally clicked for me.
A beautifully curated list of self-care and home accents to elevate your fall morningsโthink aesthetic lattes, slippers, candles, and cozy rituals. It sets the tone for a gentle, sensory-rich routine.
Being a football mom since he was in 1st grade, we have been through A LOT of different items. Here are some of mine and my son's must haves on and off the field.

You know that moment when you pull something out of your pack and suddenly five people are crowding around asking where you got it? That was me last summer at a group campsite in Colorado. If you're the type who camps more than twice a year and you're tired of hauling gear that disappoints โ I spent three seasons testing stuff so you can skip the duds.
This is for my girlies who love to work out but the thought of a gym membership and working out in front of strangers makes your stomach drop into your feet. Working out at home is the way to go! No commute, no waiting for machines, no weird grunting guy hogging the cable row. Just you, a mat, a playlist that slaps, and a few essentials that actually make you want to move my body (even if itโs just for 15 minutes). This board is my go-to list of everything thatโs helped me stay consistent: gear I actually use, gadgets that make workouts less annoying, and a few extras that keep it cute while I sweat in my living room. Because home workouts should feel doable, not like a punishment. And yes, air squats while waiting for your coffee to brew absolutely count.
Everyday home fitness gear I keep reaching for โ mat, bands, dumbbells, jump rope, foam roller, and recovery bits that make short workouts stick instead of collecting dust.
Bought a gym membership in January, went three times, then ghosted my own fitness goals. Sound familiar? If you're someone who wants to work out consistently but keeps winging it and ending up on the elliptical scrolling your phone, these planners and tools finally gave my sessions structure. Took me two years of half-starts to land on this combo, so steal it now before another month slips by.
I am a very active person and love strength training, yoga, and cardio, so I have a lot of active wear! Iโve found some of the best tops, pants and shoes that are comfy, cute and really great quality!!
Everything that comes to the gym with me every single session. From lifting essentials to skincare, snacks and little things that make my workouts so much better. If it's in my gym bag, it's probably in this list!
Dragging myself to the gym felt like a punishment for thirty years โ I'd go for two weeks, hate every second, and quit. These books rewired how I think about movement, food, and showing up for myself. If you've ever canceled a workout to sit in your car eating chips in the parking lot, start here before another January resolution crashes and burns.
Central Florida's heat and active lifestyle are tough on your body โ whether you're running, lifting, playing pickleball, or chasing kids around a theme park.

If your boxing gloves slide around and your wrists feel wobbly every time you throw a hook at home, you already know the frustration. Standard gloves are built for bigger hands, and nobody warns you until you've already wasted $40 on a pair that swallows your fists. This list is for women and smaller-framed people who want to box at home without fighting their own gear. Took me two years and way too many returns to narrow it down, so save yourself the trouble.
Dragging yourself to the gym for 30 minutes of treadmill boredom gets old fast โ especially when you're short on time and motivation. If you're someone who wants real cardio in 10 minutes flat, from your garage or a hotel room, these are the ropes I actually kept using after the first week. Took me way too many tangled, too-light, wrong-length purchases to land on these.
Truly the biggest gig lover, I've been to over 100 gigs and worked more that aren't counted. The live music scene is sometimes hard to find in cities that aren't London. I go to University in Birmingham, U.K and have been using the city as my go to gig place for about 7 years. There's a lot of smaller hidden gems that you might not know of. Here's a few of my favourites.
Planning a beach volleyball trip to Copacabana sounds dreamy until you show up with the wrong shoes, melted sunscreen, and a ball that deflates in the heat. I spent two weeks playing on Rio de Janeiro's most famous sand and figured out exactly what to bring, where to eat, and what to skip. If you're booking that flight soon, save yourself the trial and error I went through.
Recovery is where the real progress happens. This list covers the tools and small essentials that help your body bounce back faster, reduce soreness, and keep you consistent.

Started skating at 34 after watching my kid do it fearlessly while I stood there terrified of falling on concrete.

All the best workout sets in one place. This list includes clothing that is not see through, feels high end and also includes a lot of unique looking pieces with pockets!
Every birthday or holiday, someone on my list is "the camping person" and I used to panic-buy random gear that ended up collecting dust.

Everything a Pilates girl needs beyond the mat. From grip socks and studio essentials to cozy self-care rituals and wellness staples, these are the little luxuries that keep my mind, body, and space in balance.
Where I turn to for fitness (+accessories), mindfulness, nutrition, and fun! I love exercising and being outdoors. They bring me back to nature, our nature (www.anajohnsonauthor.com). Here are my favourites for walking, hiking, running, tennis, biking, weight training, skiing, and mindfulness (moving meditation, tai chi and strength training qigong). I also have to look after the body, so use heating pads for soreness, go for acupuncture and deep tissue massage. I use healthy creams for any injuries. For nutrition, here are my favourite protein powders and electrolytes to keep up with running, tennis, strenght training, and biking. Donโt forget the running/walking companion (Dalmatian ๐ถ)!
Being married to an ultramarathoner means I know more about hydration, fueling, chafing, recovery, race-day logistics, and suspiciously early wake-up times than I ever planned to. This list includes the gear and little essentials my runner actually uses, from the wife who helps pack it, find it, replace it, crew it, track it, and cheer through every mile.

Dragging coolers through hot sand, chasing a cheap umbrella down the beach, peeling for a week after every trip โ that was my summer routine until I finally got serious about what I bring. Built for anyone who loves the beach but hates the aftermath, this is the setup that took me three painful summers to figure out.

Every morning my alarm went off and I'd stare at a blank wall, hit snooze, and promise myself tomorrow would be different. Sound familiar? After three months of zero consistency, I started filling my home gym and hallways with prints that actually made me want to move. If you're someone who has the gear but not the motivation โ this lineup took me from snooze-button champion to someone who actually looks forward to 6 AM.
This is my personalized Hiking essential that I always bring regardless of where I go or how long the trip is. Being compact and essential is what I aim for. Everything must fit in my bag or worn. If you have any questions, feel free to comment below.
My running kit is all about comfort, performance, and a little style โจ From my go-to race shoes and lightweight gear to energy boosters and headphones, these are the essentials that keep me moving mile after mile. ๐โโ๏ธ
Race week isn't the time to figure things out. It's the time to lay out gear you've already tested so race morning is boring in the best way. These are my picks for 5K through marathon: fuel and electrolytes to practice with before the big day, anti-chafe and blister gear for the spots that always rub, a bib belt, watch, shades and cheap throwaway layers for the start corral, socks and laces that won't let you down, and a few finish-line extras for the drive home.

Born and raised in the city of Johannesburg, โ The city of Goldโ, I didn't do much outdoor activities (largely my choice). I have come to really enjoy and appreciate natureโฆ. I am petrified of most bugs but nonetheless we push on! This is my take on some great investment pieces for outdoor adventures. Enjoy!
Running and walking shoes for real people, not just marathoners. Whether you walk the dog every morning, stand all day at work, or you're training for your first 5K, there's a Brooks shoe in here that fits. Plus a few pieces of gear to round it out.
You bought dumbbells last January and they became a clothes rack by March. Same. I cycled through three gym memberships and two โthis time it's differentโ phases before I finally built a home setup that stuck. This list is for the person who wants to work out but keeps falling off because their space is wrong, their gear is annoying, or they just get bored. Everything here is what finally made me stop dreading it and start showing up. Took me 14 months of trial and error so you can skip straight to what works.
Sporting brands I will die on a hill for. I've tried a lot of gear over the years on the tennis court, the golf course, and everywhere in between, and these are the brands that actually earned my loyalty. Not sponsored, not trendy picks, just the ones I keep coming back to because they work, they last, and they make me want to play more. If you ask me about any of these, be warned: I will talk your ear off. Consider this list your shortcut to skipping the trial and error I went through to get here.
Every beach vacation I'd fork over $30-50 per person for rental snorkel gear that smelled like someone else's breath and barely fit โ then I did the math and realized I'd wasted hundreds. This list is for anyone who vacations near water at least once a year and is tired of crusty rental masks and loose fins. Took me three trips and a lot of returns to land on gear that actually works, so you can skip the trial and error.

I've been trying to stay physically active my whole life. After 20+ years of going to the gym I've found a few other ways to make exercising a bit more fun. With video games or cool attractions open in Edmonton, I've compiled a list of things that I love to do by myself or with friends.
Some of my favorites I use to survive Lagree/Solidcore classes! I started my lagree journey earlier this year and it's been a fantastic addition to my weekly workouts. While the classes are challenging, I always walk away with a sense of accomplishment. For these types of classes, I prioritize reliability and comfort because while the classes are a stuggle, my outfit shouldn't be struggling along with me!
Few things beat a round of mini golf on a warm Central Florida evening. From elaborate volcano-and-waterfall courses along International Drive to family favorites in Kissimmee and Orlando, these are the best miniature golf spots for a fun, affordable outing with the kids.

I spend 12-hour ER shifts on my feet and train for HYROX and half marathons, so I'm picky about running shoes and gear. I went through Brooks' best sellers and pulled the ones I'd recommend to a friend: the Ghost, Glycerin and Adrenaline for her and him, race day and trail picks, cozy thermal layers for cold miles, and the little things that make runs better, like great socks, gloves and hats. I kept the colors clean and neutral so they look as good on errands as on the road.
All the things that keep me sharp and strong! Iโve been on a health journey for 2 years and Iโm down 30 pounds. These are all the things that keep me moving, motivated, and excited about moving my body!
Dropping nearly two hundred bucks a month on studio classes felt fine until I did the math โ over two grand a year to stretch on someone else's mat under fluorescent lights. If you've been telling yourself you need a studio to stay consistent but your bank account disagrees, this is every single thing I bought to build a yoga space at home that I actually use daily. Took me about six months of trial and error so you can skip straight to what works.
