Holiday FIT Gift Guide…
Seasons Greetings!
Happy Cyber Monday! After a few conversations with my students last week about fitness gear + apparel, I thought I'd share my favorite FITNESS finds for holiday gifting this year with EVERYBODY. See below for my favorites - some items are on sale, others are just great gifts for a friend (or you? Yes, probably mostly for you!).
Let's get to it...
Clothes + Shoes + Accessories
I LOVE Vuori everything, for me, my girls + my husband... These Vuori joggers are great post-class + for lounging... I wear these leggings for workouts (they are on sale!), they are super soft + the colors options are bold... This long sleeve top is a definite must when you want to layer without bulk, it's super soft + versatile. I just bought my daughters these studio flare leggings + they LOVE them, especially because they are super high rise (like, they actually admitted to me that they loved them - HUGE win for me!). My husband is very low maintenance when it comes to fashion - but he really liked all the Vuori I bought him... T's, long sleeve tops + workout shorts, you can't go wrong! I'm not sure what, but I'll be gifting him a bit more this year. * First time Vuori purchasers receive 20% when you join the email list.
Alo Yoga has 30% off right now, and 70% off sale! I love wearing this hoody + this tank is great for summer or under a cardigan. I also practice with this yoga mat... It has just enough "stick", absorbs sweat, + isn't overly heavy to carry around.
Lululemon is observing Cyber Monday + my go-to Lululemon leggings are on sale... This crossbody bag is not on sale, but it's affordable + is my absolute favorite bag! Easy to clean + great for speed walking with a friend or your dog (Kenzo's tail goes crazy when he sees me pull out this bag!). I recently bought these shoes: Changefeel Mids... I wasn't sure how I'd like them (I love my Nikes!) but I'm a fan. There's just enough support for cardio + I love "pulling on" the sock vs. untying and retying laces each time I put on. My daughters LOVE Align leggings, so if you are looking to impress a teen with a gift- these will be a hit! I buy 25" length, but for my 5' 9" daughter would buy her 28".
Nikes, did you say Nikes?? I LOVE these Air Max shoes! I have them in the most obnoxious color combo of gold and black (very on sale!), but truly, they are my current favorite for strength/HIIT combo classes. I love Daybreaks to knock around (not for workouts!). I have these in black + since they are on sale, I'm pretty sure I'll HAVE to get another pair. Nike Blazers are perfect to wear with jeans - I have this version but I love this one which is on sale.
For a run, I have been dedicated to New Balance FOR YEARS. This is my current pair, but more than any other shoes - running shoes are so personal. If you are local to me - pop into Peak Running for expert advice on fit based on your anatomy + running preferences.
Equipment + More
For those of you that take virtual classes with me, this is the medicine ball that I use, it's very durable + affordable. I have it in 9 and 12 pounds... If you're looking to add some heavier weights to your collection, these are my favorite dumbbells, easy to grip, easy to clean + affordable! I use this Gorilla Mat in my workout space + this one is similar + on sale!
I've been trying to drink Liquid IV every single day (I feel much more hydrated when I add electrolytes to my water post workout!) + it's much cheaper to buy in bulk. You can create your own flavor bundle here (I'm partial to golden cherry + lemon lime) + you get 25% off right now. I'm not a HUGE protein powder person (I'd rather eat real food) but this is the Protein Powder I use.
As you may know, I am such a huge (obsessed??) fan of the WHOOP! activity/sleep tracker. I credit this device in providing activity, sleep, + recovery data that led me to make significant changes in my health. The best part? The cost to give it a try is low compared to most wearables... If you use my referral code, you'll get the Whoop 4.0 device Free + free month of membership. Once you're a member - reach out to me with questions - I LOVE talking + strategizing about WHOOP! data.
My Virtual Membership
Finally - 'tis the season for missing workouts! If you haven't tried my online classes - I'd love to invite you give it a go. These classes are very efficient, effective + easy to cram into a busy day. Classes are strength based with HIIT/Cardio/Yoga peppered in. Here's a link to one month of free membership, cancel anytime.
Happy Shopping + Happy Holidays to you + yours!
