Today I wanted to
share my top 5, holy grail, couldn’t live without workout items!!!! These 5 things are a good starting place if
you are wanting to get started going to the gym. By no means do you need the exact brand I
have. There are a ton of different
brands that are just as effective… these are just my personal preference.
1. Headphones
I currently use
the Wireless Powerbeats 3 and I love them!
They are great to block out all distractions and even though they are on
the pricier side I highly recommend splurging!
2. Tennis Shoes
I don’t know about you all but through the years I have
tried many different brands of shoes. I have to say I have found two that I can
say are my favorite. I have two because
when lifting weights, I like to have a flatter shoe that doesn’t necessarily
have much support, but when I am doing cardio I like to have something that is
very light and has lots of support. I
like to lift weights in Reebok shoes (I really love the Nano 8 CrossFit shoes)
and I love to run in Asics (Asics Fuzex Lyte 2).
Blender
bottles are my go to water bottle. I use
Amino Acids as a pre-workout and to help with soreness and so the blender
bottle is great to help mix the powder into my water.
4. Waist Trimmer “Fat Belt”
Before
I tell you why I love this product so much I want to clarify that this is not
the same as a waist trainer that I am sure you all have seen that the
Kardashians wear… haha. I wear what I call a “fat belt” almost every time I go
to the gym especially on cardio days. I love the way that it makes my posture
better and makes my stomach sweat a lot more than usual. This is something
that is sold at sporting goods stores but I can always find them at TJ MAXX
also. (I’m all about a better deal; and who doesn’t love TJ MAXX)
Out
of all 5 of these items this is the most important of them all and it is the
only item that is FREE. I have heard all
of my life “attitude is everything” and I really didn’t think anything of it. Throughout high school I was very active in
sports and so being active was something that was a part of my daily
routine. Well now that I am in college
it can be very easy for working out to fall out of your daily routine. Having a good positive attitude is the first
step to making and keeping physical activity in your daily routine. “Attitude is everything.”
