Products To Wear or Use

My goal is to start making habits to build strength. My former job was so depleting I was too tired to work out—but once I quit, I rapidly became weaker. Getting back into shape and making new habits are things I hope to do. I am of the mindset that ...

I have never been a huge fan of leggings. I like them sometimes. I found a pair one day at Kohls. I had no idea how nice the leggings would be… I tried to find the exact kind for this post, but what I bought did not have a huge flare (so you were not...

Men’s—hmm. I have similar pair, but I couldn’t find them on Adidas website. I really liked these for the gym or other activities. It has a wide-toe box and a lot of support.

Cushion is happening on this mat— but this is not what I would use to take to a class. The size is a little bulky to carry around. Our floors are mostly hard surfaces so I wanted something to give some support and cushion. **Other note, it does a t...

My sister has a pair of these, and I thought it was so cute! She skateboards and has used them, but there is another pair with padded cute shorts underneath.

A cooling patch for migraines or fevers. I have used these. They really stay cold a long, long time—way longer than an ice pack.

Books

This book shaped my thinking on muscle and strength.

I’m still making my way through this, but this is where my heart is leaning—towards the road ahead of strength (but not necessarily body-builder). I think strength in a general term. I would like to be a healthy and strong for the way my body is buil...
Forever Strong - Dr. Gabrielle Lyon

Supplements, Protein, and other things to strengthen the body.

Most of these I have used or at least tried. I have been prone to migraines and dehydration headaches so there are a lot of electrolytes I have tried. Some more budget-friendly than others. I hate losing days where I can’t function so other products ...

Mix it in your coffee too. I tried mixing protein powder in it. It was a very sad coffee day that day. These tend to be flavorless.

I use (and still am using) this Dermal Repair Complex (supplement). When I didn’t know what serum to buy—I purchased supplements from here. Silly maybe, but I thought that I would start within and work from there. I ordered with a discount code with...

These had been given to my husband to try out. Build muscle, maintain it. It is different than the average bag.

This has helped me tremendously. Something in my brain entered in a new phase of unfunctional (to make it light), but perhaps with age, hormones, and other factors I felt like my brain was declining too soon. I know I need to look into more things, b...
LifeWave X39 Patches - No Drugs or Stimulants

These help with work-out performance and recovery and some other things too. My husband uses these daily, and I have used them sporadically when I felt depleted. **we are affiliated with Lifewave as a Brand Partner**

When the months turn cloudy, I sometimes need to get vitamin D. It just can make me feel better. This is one brand I have purchased. I forget to buy vitamin D with K together sometimes, which is technically best to pair these two.
Youtheory K2 and D3 Daily Vitamin Supplement for Calcium Absorption, Bone Strength and Cardiovascular Support, 60 Vegetarian Capsules - Walmart.com

For the dreary months of the year, I think I need to supplement for vitamin D. I purchased just the vitamin D drops before, but I thought this has K as well, which I believed is recommended to use together. I guess always check the amount you need wi...

This is what I originally purchased, but you can also get different doses of vitamin K that you need.

Rehydrate with Electrolytes

I have had severe headaches for the past ten years or so, but my headaches are nauseating ones. I don’t particularly even like liquid Pedialyte but have tried a few ways to rehydrate.

These popsicle are just better for some reason than just the liquid for me. It’s a popsicle— but has some better hydration benefits. (You do need to get them in freezer because they’re not frozen when you purchase).

Coconut water! Some love it or hate it—but I forget how hydrating it can be. No dyes or colors. There is also organic options. You can mix it in a smoothie. It’s just a more natural choice for everyday kind of need.
Coconut Water - Vita Coco

These are probably hydration at its peak, right? I do struggle with the sweetness when I’m sick, but if you can get work around getting some into your body (blended maybe or iced), it will probably hydrate faster than other products.

Here’s another brand of electrolyte. I think it’s not as overwhelmingly sweet.

I don’t really like them when I am sick; on a regular day though, I like the way they hydrate. It definitely has sweetness so there is a Lyte version that offers a sugar alternative.

I had tried these at an IV place I have been to. They offered them in their lobby. I don’t like super sweet when I am nauseous. I would actually maybe prefer some salt. These are different, for sure!

This is one of my favorite encouraging ones I had tried out— non-intimidating, up-beat, encouraging but will try to push you to go at your best speed or intensity. The man always acts as about as tired as you are, but he seems super strong. I sometim...

I like her knowledge and experience. She’s been strength training for a long time and is encouragement to get stronger. She’s in her 50’s and yet a strong woman. She talks about hormones and things as a woman changes with age.
