Workout Fits
So flattering without an obvious scrunch. I pair these with the old navy ribbed tops and I surprise myself in the mirror if you know what I mean.
The perfect compressive scrunch leggings without the unfavorable scrunch look
I choose to go barefoot at the gym so my white socks get trashed, these have been the best bang for your buck without feeling bad refreshing them
Perfect height crew sock
Not for workouts when you are laying down in public, but very flattering!
Matching CRZ Shorts - My BFF & I both got matching sets!
Love CRZ and I have this sports bra in red and plan to get more matching sets with this bra! Very comfy, good support (but I do have a small chest)
Matching CRZ Sports Bra - My BFF & I both got matching sets!
I love this set for the gym. I have a super hard time finding spandex that don't squeeze my thighs and there are by far my fav! I have it in black, navy blue, and baby pink and have gifted it in army green! I also ordered in mocha brown and it wasn't...
Under $30 Perfect fold over set for gym, yoga or pilates - I have tested all 3!
Perfect amount of flowy if you have bigger thighs! I always have a hard time finding shorts that dont feel too tight on my thighs and these have been perfect
Best shorts for thicker thighs (tried & approved)
Cute trend switch up while still being good for all types of workouts! Could be used for a night out too! Ever so slightly transparent so keep that in mind with layering
Top ready for gym & going out
Perfect amount of flowy if you have bigger thighs! I always have a hard time finding shorts that dont feel too tight on my thighs and these have been perfect
Best shorts for thicker thighs (tried & approved)
Perfect layer without having to DIY!
the layered sports bra that I want in every color
My current go to headphones! Love the offwhite but also was tied between this and the brown!
Beats Headphones | Over the Ear = Locked tf in
The BEST if you like taking your shoes on and off during your workout, so comfy I wear these every workout (gym, walking, and running short distances!)
Slip on sneakers that are actually cute - my daily gym shoe!
Your winter arc is approaching and this sweatshirt is on the must-buy list
Don’t Be Moody Grow Ya Booty Unisex Heavy Blend Crewneck Sweatshirt Wellness Gym Pullover Streetwear Lounge Fitness Oversized Gift Idea
These are incredibly flattering! They don't have the longest life span before they start to show a little wear, especially the white. But, I have about 5 colors that I regularly wear and have for the past year or so. Plus, you cannot beat the price.
Seamless Ribbed Tee - Beware of Waist Snatching 🔥
1
Everytime I wear this set my boyfriend asks what other colors I can buy. I currently have the blue, black, and light pink! I bought the green for a friends bday and am going to get it for myself. Heads up - the only downside is the colors are not tru...
Fold over waist lounge set for gym days, leisurewear, or chore days!
At home workout accessories
wrist weights are the #1 home workout/travel hack
bala without the price - 1 lb each or 2 lb!
Whether you are working on your flexibility, doing mat pilates, or at home workout videos/programs, yoga blocks are a huge resource to add or take away difficulty depending on how you use them! Invest in cork over foam, you'll appreciate the added st...
Cork Yoga Blocks for Workouts & Stretching!
Truly not a bad price so including them on this list!
Bala Resistance Bands (The "splurge option)
A bit lower cost than BALA and go with the “Neutral” system in this list!
Bands for the neutral girlies
light weights will be your bff as you progress and burnout! my rec - get the cute ones to start out otherwise you'll want them in like 2 weeks when you feel like a pro
Neutral pilates/at home light weight set!
kettle bells are SO versatile for the heavier lifts at home! I prefer these over heavier dumbbells if you have to choose. You'll LOVE the soft bottom, I have put these in all of our office gyms that we have updated!
The best neutral kettle bells!
if you plan to do at home pilates, please trust me on this one! you will want to have it!! (the small one, not big!)
Pilates MUST pt.1 (in my opinion)
This is the one I personally have because I'm a pink girly, but I have the other ones I linked in our offices!
Another pilates ball option if you like pink!
I had never used a pilates ring until my first real pilates classes and I ordered my own IMMEDIATELY - flexibility, resistance, you name it
Pilates Must Pt 2 - Fav Takeaway
if you plan to be on your feet, balancing on your mat, thicker is not better! if you need a thicker mat for your joints, consider having two! thicker mats add a huge challenge to standing exercises/yoga
Mat for yoga/pilates! thin not thick
What's in my gym bag
I dont use it every day just to not strip my skin, but after every workout to kill bacteria!
Magic molecule for face, headphones, and phone after workouts
lotion for the days I forget, nothing worse than rolling up in shorts or a tank and looking down to realize you're skin is dry - I hyper fixate on it
non-greasy body lotion (the affordable option)
I regret to inform you it is as good as everyone says & worth the $30
non-greasy body lotion (the splurge)
hand sanitizer for after workouts!
clean & smells delicious
I always have one of these in my bag! sweating is great but you dont have to suffer through it dripping down you all workout long
Gym towels for sweat & laying on surfaces!
Plus this one works for travel too! Love a multipurpose bag
Not my exact gym bag but a very similar style!
My bestie and I got matching bag charms and I loveeeee having it on my gym bag. Romanticize wherever you can!! The more you find little things you love about this journey, the easier it will be to push through when motivation is lacking
Custom bag charm 🤩
Fav wellness programs and investments
I use 100% of these programs listed!!!
This has been the best program I have EVER used. There are so many coaches to choose from based off your goals, but I use coach nairee. Every workout is limited to 45 minutes (with her at least) and she guides you through the entire thing like she’s ...
Ladder App AKA the best coached workouts I’ve ever experienced
I am combining this with my ladder workouts for a full rounded health & wellness reset! I have loved this program. It is set up to be great as a reset or starter for someone who doesn’t know how/where to start on their journey, but also can be re...
