This is a list of my favorite equipment for competitive style lap swimming. I have over 20 years of competitive swimming experience as a USA swimmer as well as competing as a division 1 collegiate swimmer. I also have been a swim team coach for 5 years. Most of the recommendations will be good for all levels of swimmers, that from just starting out all the way to highly competitive. I'll say in the recommendation if it's mainly for advanced.

The best gear to keep you comfortable on your training runs!!!

My go-to gym clothes include high-waisted leggings, a supportive tank top or sports bra, and cushioned sneakers. You often layer with a lightweight hoodie or jacket for added comfort.

As a PPR certified pickleball coach, and multiple time 5.0 medalist (most notably at APP & U.S Open), I wanted to share my top pickleball picks for people at all levels! I've seen a lot of pickleball lists on here and I wouldn't recommend a lot of the equipment I'm seeing suggested, so I wanted to put out my own list of must-haves. Here are my top picks for beginners, intermediate, and advanced players. If you are new to pickleball and willing to spend money, having a more expensive paddle will not hurt you, but I do recommend figuring out if you should have a control or power paddle before making that investment.

My 5AM gym bag, in order: 1) Chalk up, strap in, belt on — the grip and support gear goes on before anything else. 2) Jump rope for a 3-minute warm-up. 3) Lift — dumbbell and pull-up bar carry the actual work. 4) Foam roll, massage gun, and a stretch on the mat before I'm back with the kids. 5) Track it, bottle it, bag it — out the door before the house wakes up. 15 pieces, zero gimmicks, every one earned its spot.

My favorite gym outfits and brands that I swear by as a weightlifter of 10+ years

Sharing all our must haves as a volleyball and soccer family.

Nothing kills a good running rhythm faster than your phone slapping against your hip every stride — or worse, flying out onto the pavement at mile two.

Handy if you're buying for yourself, or for a husband or dad who keeps saying he'll start Monday. Questions about sizing? Ask in the comments.

Grab what you need before football season kicks off.

These are All the items I carry in my Golf bag or have carried whenever I play a round of Golf. Many Quality of Life golf accessories and must haves for your best round of golf!

AZ summers are hot to say the least. When it’s 100 + degrees, you don’t want to go anywhere. Just because it’s too hot to go outside doesn’t mean you have to stay home bored all summer. There’s actually lots of cool, indoor places to check out in the Phoenix valley so you can still have a fabulous summer in AZ.

All the essentials you need to make the cheer comp worry free. The day is already stressful enough. Make sure you have everything you need ready to go.

This list is for the girls who want to stay active without forcing it. These are my favorite fitness finds that make movement feel fun, realistic, and easy to stay consistent with.

Hauling oversized blankets, clunky chairs, and bulky coolers to the park was killing my motivation to go outside. If you're someone who wants to picnic, hike, or tailgate without looking like you're moving apartments, this is every compact piece of gear I actually trust. Took me two summers of returns and regrets to land on these.

Every swim day used to end the same way. Wet swimsuits stuffed into tote bags, damp towels bleeding through to snacks and dry clothes, and that mildew smell hitting you in the car ride home. If you're a parent hauling kids to the pool, lake, or swim lessons and you're sick of everything in your bag being mysteriously damp, I spent two summers figuring out what actually works. Grab what you need before pool season gets here.

Somewhere around mile 40 on a humid Saturday, with numb hands, a sore neck, and a water bottle that tasted like plastic — I almost sold my bike. Instead I spent the next year swapping out every piece of gear that was making rides miserable. If you're a road or gravel cyclist who loves the idea of long rides but hates how your body feels after them, steal this list before your next century attempt.

All my favourite for a day at the track. F1 to NASCAR!

Started boxing six months ago and my wrists felt like they belonged to a 90-year-old after every session. I went through a ridiculous number of hand wraps — too stretchy, too stiff, unraveling mid-round — before landing on the ones that actually keep my joints locked in without cutting off circulation. If you're nursing sore wrists after hitting the bag or your current wraps bunch up inside your gloves, this lineup took me way too long to figure out so you don't have to.

Here are some easily forgotten items and also some extra comfy items to make sure you have a good camping experience!
