Equipment

I love items that are multi-functional from a cost and space perspective. I live in a small apartment so using products (like these adjustable weights or thin mats) are great because they take up less space in my home. Saves me money, too!

Adjustable weight dumbell set! I love this - instead of purcahsing multiple sets of weights, I just use this one and swap it out as needed depending on the exercise. Takes up less space and saves me $. (also comes in cute colors which is fun)

An alternative to the traditional airpods that work great for a fraction of the price. I keep these with my gym gear - they stay in place and charge quickly.

I like to workout on a mat to keep sweat off my carpet/floor. This is the one I have - it's thin and easy to roll up/store when not using but still thick enough to provide some comfort when standing!

These are great for many different exercises. A lot of youtube video workouts call for bands. These are the ones I use!

My favorite electrolyte brand - I throw a bunch of these in my purse/car etc. but especially love adding to water after a workout! For any moms who are EBF/pumping, these are also great for rehydrating!!  Good ingredients and taste amazing - I always stick to the citrus flavors.

Taking care of your lymphatic system is so important. A quick dry brush pre-shower helps get things moving and has helped minimize the appearance of cellulite. Love caring for my body in this way in addition to exercising!
