My Favorite Workout Gear!!!
I LOVE to find new workout gear! It’s almost become a problem for me…But it’s kind of part of coaching, so I can justify it a little…right?
That said, I wanted to share some of my favorite things I have discovered! Of course, I think most of you know about my love for my Cross Training Couture workout tanks. I have a few of them now and they are awesome! They allow me to workout in comfort, style, and help me share my heart for the Lord!

I also love to RUN!!! Running shorts are kind of difficult for me to find that fit well. I am kind of picky about how the fit and how they look. They cannot be too short or too long. I HATE a tight waistband too. That can make for a very uncomfortable run. Running is something I do to release tension and spend time unwinding, so it’s got to be enjoyable for me. Old Navy has some running shorts right now that are super comfy and very affordable. I think I got these for $15 a few weeks ago. |
| Brooks PureFlow Running Shoes |
While we’re talking about running, I have always been a Brooks running shoe girl. I still stick with them, because they fit my feet really well. I know there are lots of great running shoes, but these work best for me. Recently I purchased a pair of their Pure Flow ones. These are even better than the ones I have always worn!!! They have amazing cushion and really protect my feet and shins. I tend to get shin splits if I run a lot, and these have really prevented that for me! And I got them for like $60 at our local shoe store on sale!!! Score!
For my workouts at home, like I said, I jump around a lot with some of my cardio. I purchased a gym mat before I started Insanity Max 30, and man am I glad I did!!!! This thing is awesome. It’s very lightweight and just snaps together. It doesn’t take up a lot of space and is easy to move. It cost about $20 at Walmart too, which is a crazy great price!
| Old Navy Sports Bra |
And lastly, and probably most important is a sports bra!!! There are lots that I have but only a couple that I really love. One is from Old Navy and is super cheap. Now, I don’t need a ton of support…unfortunately. Ha! But this one is seriously comfortable for what I do. It comes in some really cute colors too, which is always important!
Another one that I really love is from Victoria’s Secret. It is supportive and adds a little extra in the area I need it most..ahem! Seriously though, this bra really is cute and looks great under a workout tank or just a tshirt. It’s super comfy and lightweight too. And it’s not super expensive like some of their other sports bras.
| Pink Seamless Sports Bra |
And last but definitely not least is my E & E…I adore this stuff! I have always been a little wary of anything that claims to provide more “energy.” But I tried this because my coach suggested it, and I’m hooked. It definitely gives me a little boost of energy in the morning, but nothing that makes my heart race or makes me feel crazy. It’s all natural too, so that’s a bonus. And it tastes delicious. Like lemonade.
So! Those are just a few of my favorite things. I am sure I will find many more!!!
