items For anyone navigating mid-life and searching for beauty recommendations that truly make a difference, these are the products I keep coming back to time and time again.
I have been on a weight loss journey for over a year now and these bands have been STELLAR for when I do pilates! Perfect length and variable strengths so you can build up!
Resistance Loop Exercise Bands
Recently added these to my routine, really adds to the “burn” (in a good way!) in a way that dumbbells can't.
Set Of 3 Upgraded Non-Slip Yoga Resistance Bands, Suitable For Stretching, Strength Training, Squats, Lunges, And Core Workouts - In Pink, Purple, And Green - Ideal For Home Gyms And Travel
These are great way to add some depth to your core workouts!
AZURELIFE Exercise Core Sliders
If you are in the market for a good quality yoga mat, look no further! The thickness of this makes all that sweating worth it when you hit your Savasana!
Balancefrom GoCloud 1 Inches Extra Thick Exercise Yoga Mat with Carrying Strap
I cannot LIVE without this in my water! Because, let's be real, regular water is not only boring sometimes but also doesn't exactly hydrate the way you need. I have been using this product for at least 2 years now and I never get sick of it!
Ultima Replenisher
My Emotional Support Water Jug! No, seriously. LOL! I take this baby with me EVERYWHERE! And let me tell you, my menopausal brain has, on occasion, left it on top of my car……while I was driving…WHOOPS! And it looked none the worse for wear. Takes a licking, keeps on ticking!!
Rambler® 42 oz Straw Mug - YETI
As a GLP-1 user, I am always looking for ways to optimize my protein intake. This is a delicious way to get 26 grams in! Pro-tip: If you add a scoop of protein powder to it with some ice and blend, you get a double whammy of protein all while in a delicious milkshake format!
Core Power Chocolate 26g Protein Shake - Fairlife
Another great tasting way to get your protein in! I personally add a scoop with ice to my Core (Fairlife) Protein shake to double my intake!
Gourmet Whey Protein Powders - ProDough Protein Bakeshop
Personally I think almost everyone can benefit from Magnisum supplements. This one has a decent price point and I take at night before bed. I was getting crazy muscle cramps (ie, charlie horses) and with continued use of this, they have completely gone away!
Nutricost Magnesium+ Extra Strength 420mg, 240 Caps
Another way to get some added protein. Easy enough to add to a protein shake. Also, in menopause as estrogen depletes in our system, it will help with thinning hair and nails.
Vital Proteins® Collagen Peptides - Unflavored Collagen Powder
This is an interesting little Pilates “tool” that took me a minute to figure out. LOL! But, once you get sorted on how to use……phew! It works muscles I didn't know I had!
URBNFit 12" Pilates Ring Magic Circle
I'm no stranger to lifting weights but as I've gotten older, I couldn't do what I used to…..so I did what most of us do……some extensive Google research! This book is a great jumping off point!
Fit at 50: Guide to a Stronger, Fitter Life
I was getting ready for my son's wedding and wanted to make sure my teeth were “camera ready!” But also wanted something that wouldn't cause gum pain or sensitivity AND would be approved by my dentist. This did the trick!
Professional Whitening Powder - Diamond PAP+ - Made By Dentists
Getting up at 5 AM to go to the gym is NOT easy. I needed a bit of a boost to make the most out of my workouts at that hour and black coffee is just not my jam. A scoop of this in some ice and water not only do you get your hydration in but you also get some energy to make the most of your gym time!
Wellah Pre-Workout Drink Mix, Raspberry Lemonade
Do NOT miss the new wave of vibration for wellness! I was skeptical but decided to give it a try. It did NOT disappoint! I have serious sciatica (if you know, you know!) and this has been a game changer. I don't fully understand the why or the how it works, I just know that I do get benefits out of using it daily, especially after the gym!
Lifepro Waver Vibration Plate Exercise Machine
As someone who is working towards a health goal, these sneakers have been key to my success! I have a weird foot shape (wide foot, narrow heel) and these fit perfectly!
