    Mid Year Fitness Check-In

    It hit me last week that it is almost June. JUNE…by the end, it will be the halfway point of 2018. I am not sure where the time goes but it is going. Which prompted me to check the goals I set at the beginning of the year to measure my progress. 

    I am making improvements in all of the areas I wanted…except self care.  Somehow, I am still putting myself lower on the list of priorities than I should. Consistent workouts are still a goal…as are weekly spa nights and inspirational reading. That being said, I am determined to figure it out…and what better way to give yourself some motivation than new workout clothes?!

    I was super apprehensive about these blush colored leggings but the fabric is absolutely amazing. It is thick and has a nice, smoothing effect, making these leggings incredibly comfortable. The mesh tank is lightweight and perfect for warm weather workouts. Outfit and water bottle available at www.revolve.com. Similar shoes available at www.neimanmarcus.com.

    Even when the weather is warm, you cannot beat a cozy sweatshirt for post-workout wear…this one will not disappoint as it is lightweight and super soft. These cropped leggings keep the look light. Sweatshirt, sports bra and leggings available at www.sweatybetty.com.  Shoes available at www.hibbet.com.

    Hope these new additions give your summer workouts an extra boost!

    Healthy Mid Year Resolutions

     

    I enjoy making New Year’s resolutions…there is something enjoyable thinking about the year ahead, the exciting things that will happen and the goals I would like to achieve. I recently reviewed the goals I set for this year and realized I have accomplished some of them but am WAY behind in others…the main one being to take care of myself, get back on a regular workout and a healthy eating program. All of those areas are inconsistent at best right now and I know that everything else will become easier when I carve out time for these.

    I realize I need to lay out a better strategy in order to achieve these goals. So, I started researching meal delivery services, fitness apps and when I learned about the Fiji Water Home Delivery service, I knew this was something that would help me stay on track. I love living a healthy lifestyle, I just need to help streamline the preparation it takes.

    FASHIONABLE FITNESS WEAR

    In January, it seems that most us are focused on keeping health and fitness at the forefront of our goals. From Thanksgiving to New Year’s, there are an endless number of parties and celebrations that it make tough to stay on track with healthy eating and workouts. It feels good to refocus and start the year with a clean slate. Not only do health and improved physical appearance inspire me to get to the gym, but new workout wear can add some additional motivation! With the endless choices that are available, it is easier than ever to look fashionable while doing activities of virtually any kind. Check out some of the fitness clothing and gear that allows you to look fabulous while getting your fitness on.

    WHAT TO WEAR

    I remember going to LA many years ago and the Lululemon boutiques being a highlight of the trip. They paved the way for premium workout wear and, now, there are more brands than you can count and at a variety of price points. Kate Hudson’s company, Fabletics offers fashionable looks at reasonable prices. Some of my favorite places to shop for fitness apparel include Sweaty Betty, Carbon 38, Adidas by Stella McCartney and Peony and Me.  I could not resist this Spiritual Gangster tank and the Le Sportsac bag is the perfect size for gym essentials. 

    FOOTWEAR

    If fitness clothing has progressed, fitness sneakers have come just as far. Have you seen some of the options?   Nike, New Balance, Adidas…all have updated fashion selections. My recent favorites are these Athletic Propulsion Labs sneakers. 

    GEAR

    From beautiful yoga mats to pink boxing gloves…even fitness gear has incorporated fun colors, designs and styling. The yoga mat featured is from La Vie Boehme, who offers a gorgeous assortment of printed yoga mats.

    TECHNOLOGY

    Whether you are using a smart watch, Fitbit or other fitness tracker, there are countless options that are stylish and functional. Music is essential to my workouts and so these gorgeous Caeden wireless headphones keep me in the zone.

    WATER BOTTLES

    I have several of these S’well water bottles…they keep hot beverages hot and cold beverages cold for hours. I came to work one morning and had ice cubes left from the day prior. The 25 oz size also holds a bottle of wine….for those non-workout occasions. 😉

    Freshen up your fitness fashion with some of these pieces and stay motivated!

    Bisous,
