Fitness Must-Haves

A girl can never have too many leggings, or sports bras, or workout equipment for that matter.

If you’re like me, putting on a new pair of leggings and a matching top is like ASMR for the soul. I don’t know about you but I THRIVE in workout clothes.

Since the start of the pandemic, at-home workouts have surprisingly become my JAM. Since many gyms were still closed, I had to find ways to adapt and still feel like I’m getting a solid workout in each day.

Almost a year ago I hopped on the Melissa Wood Health train, and let me tell you… her workouts are my absolute FAVORITE. I love Melissa’s long lean lines approach, putting an emphasis on slow and controlled movements. She provides a weekly schedule that is super easy to follow and isn’t overbearing to squeeze into your busy schedule. And to top it off, her energy is so grounding and pure that you literally feel like you are working out with a friend.

Ladies, 2021 is the year of investing in yourself. Invest in whatever it is that will take you one step closer to crushing your goals and dreams.

With that being said, I’ve put together a list of my fitness must-haves.

Favorite Water Bottles

Water. Water. Water.

As humans, I think we underestimate how much water we should actually be consuming. For me personally, I know my water consumption goes in waves. One day I’m a pro and the next I’m like water, who? But this year is different.

Investing in a quality water bottle is the first step in achieving all of your water drinking goals and aspirations. LOL. But for real. There’s nothing better than always having water on hand, especially when it’s in a fabulous container.

$40 HYDRO FLASK 32-OUNCE BOTTLE

$40 Soma goop Glass Water Bottle

$35 Pink Topaz 17 oz. S'well Water Bottle

$78 LARQ TERRA EDITION SELF SANITIZING BOTTLE MOVEMENT

$20 CELSIUS SPARKLING ORANGE FITNESS DRINK

One of my all-time favorite water bottles is the Hydroflask. The Soma goop Glass Water Bottle is stellar… not only is it better for the environment, but there’s also something to drinking water out of a glass bottle. The S’Well is still a favorite of course. Most recently, I came across the LARQ bottle and I love it because of its self-cleaning feature and mod exterior. And of course, I naturally had to throw in my favorite pre-workout energizing drink into the mix. If you haven’t tried Celcius, today is the day.

EQUIPMENT

Since I’ve been doing most of my workouts at home, I have tried out some newer equipment that has helped to enhance my fitness results.

$49 Bala Bangles Classic

$20 FP Movement Jump Rope

$20 Bala Resistance Bands

$85 Power Ring

$80 Lululemon Reversible Mat 5mm

$20 Alo Yoga Strap

Bala Bangles are a workout must. Not only do they aid in maximizing your workout, but they are so comfortable and easy to incorporate into any type of workout. I am a self-declared Bala addict. When you try out any of their products, you will see why. :) Power rings are great for pilates or barre workouts. Last but not least, Lululemon has some of the BEST yoga mats. They are so squishy and supportive you literally feel like you’re working out on a cloud.

GEAR

Being a dancer, I am so particular about my activewear. I am constantly on the lookout for cute and quality activewear that makes me feel limitless.

$50 Electric Bra

$97 High-Waist Electric Legging

$230 APL TechLoom Tracer Sneaker

$110 Nike Sherpa Jacket

$225 Nike Air Vapormax 360 Sneaker

Set Active x Revolve Ribbed Sports Bra

Set Active x Revolve Ribbed Leggings

As of recent, I’ve been more frequent in shopping AloYoga and its high-quality, street style pieces keep me wanting more. The Nike Sherpa jacket is a newer closet staple and I swear I get compliments left and right when I wear it. APL and Nike sneakers are so comfortable and keep you feeling supportive throughout the entirety of your workout. Last but not least, SET ACTIVE is so flattering for any body type and will make you feel like the superstar that you are.

ACCESSORIES

$98 Calpak Duffel

$20 Arebesk Moto Grip Socks

$20 3-Pack Soft Headbands

$70 Rains Weatherproof Fanny Pack

$148 Vybe Percussion Massage Gun

$20 Bryant Scrunchie

I received the Calpak duffel as a gift, and it is GAME-CHANGING. There are pockets for literally anything and everything, while still maintaining its bold exterior. It makes me feel like a modern-day Mary Poppins… truly. The Vybe Massager is basically a more affordable version of the Theragun, which has been incredibly effective in breaking up lactic acid and soreness in the body.

There you have it… my list of 2021 fitness must-haves!
