Fitness must haves for 2015

I am sure by now everyone has stated intentions for the new year.  Mine included taking better care of myself.  I already do a decent job but there were certainly areas of improvement that I am taking under advisement!

With that a majority of the New Years resolutions revolve around fitness and since I love a gadget just as much as the next person I am rounding up my must have fitness items for 2015.

Core Ball

This is a must!  You can take this thing anywhere!  I travel with it along with my Barre3 App and I can do a workout where ever I am.  This really cuts down on excuses now doesn't it!

VSX Leggings and Capris

Workout bottoms that fit are a must when you are working on your fitness but ones with attitude are even better.  I love all the colors and patterns that VSX has been coming out with.  I know a cool pair of leggings will always be noticed over plain old black.

Spiritual Gangster Muscle Tees

I love all my workout tops equally but when I discovered the muscle tees by Spiritual Gangster I was extra smitten.  They are soft and have the best cut to them.  I own the Namaste in white and the one pictured above.  I can't say enough about them.

BKR Bottle


Everyone needs to stay hydrated so why not do so in style.  I have been carrying mine around with me and to class since it appeared on Christmas morning.  I love that it is a glass bottle so I am not drinking plastic chemicals and 500ml size I received (pictured above) is perfect to throw in your purse!
If you are looking for the roomiest bag known to man with a whole lotta style this bag is for you.  I hosted a trunk show for Stella and Dot in December and used my winnings to get this bag because I thought it would be great for travel since you can zip around the bottom to make it larger.  Well upon careful inspection I can also use it as a gym bag that I take with me to work.  I change before I leave the office to save time and I can fit everything I wore that day to work in it with room to spare.  Unzipped I bet you could fit a yoga mat standing on end.  You must check it out!

Sugar Paper Planner

Last but certainly not lease you have to have a good planner to fit in your workout.  I think pre-scheduling your workouts is the key to success and that is my mantra this year.  Make it a can't miss appointment.  I still like to carry a small planner in my purse to quickly write down a date but my true family planner is the app Cozi.  If you have not heard of this app it may be life changing.  

Cozi App

It has both a mobile and desktop version so you can login to it wherever you wish.  You can create a family login so the calendar can be accessed from different devices throughout your family.  If an event is added to the calendar everyone in the family knows that.  You can tag events for just specific family members and set reminders.  You can store recipes and create shopping lists with it.  My favorite part is the To Do lists that I create.  I may have 5 different ones going at the same time depending on what I am keeping track of.  It is a free app with option to upgrade for a fee but I have found the free version has everything I need and more.  Check it out I am sure you will not be disappointed!

What are some of your fitness must haves?  I would love to hear about them, remember I love a good gadget!

Who doesn't love a challenge!

I don't know about you guys but if there is a challenge I will most likely enter it and hope to win.  At work I am always one of the first to sign up for whatever the challenge of the moment is.  It makes me happy to win or at the least beat a lot of other people.  I kid I kid (well sort of kid).

Since the new year is only weeks away and I need a salt and sugar detox like it is my job, my favorite workout/blog/everything company Barre3 is to the rescue.  Beginning January 5th and running for 4 weeks they will be hosting a challenge to help everyone get back on track with their mind, body and health.  I did the spring challenge not long after I started going to Barre3 and the support you get from it is unprecedented.

Each week of the challenge participants will:
  • Do four 60-minute workouts either at one of their local studios or online 
  • Do one 10-minute online workout
  • Try one healthy barre3 recipe
If you follow me on instagram you know I have experimented with making the Barre3 recipes and they have all been big winners in my house!

So here are the deets on the kit which is $33 buck-a-roos (not bad for all the swag).  

Each challenge kit includes:
  • Access to the Challenge and weekly emails loaded with tips, tools, and educational podcasts 
  • Live Q+A with Sadie Lincoln 
  • One weekly 10-minute challenge online workout 
  • One new seasonal recipe to try every week
  • A personal tracking system to help you stay accountable
  • A glass barre3 signature water bottle
  • barre3 signature tote
  • barre3 wristband

Um hello I am signing up just for the super cute bag! 

All joking aside this is a great time of year to recommit to yourself.  I have found that since starting Barre3 last April, I have never felt better about myself.  I have made so many new friends at the studio and my Barre3 Columbus family helps me more then they know!

So why not do something for yourself this year and join me in the challenge!  Even if there is no prize for a top winner, the actual prize is feeling better about yourself and your body.  I don't think there is any prize greater then that!

You can buy your kit at your local studio or online.  I know I will be picking mine up tonight!

Join me in kicking 2015 off right!
