It has been a while since I shared my top 5 essential items for working out.  I will link everything below in pink so you can check it out if you want!  SO here it is my 5 holy grail picks at the moment...

1. Wireless Earbuds
I honestly don't know how I ever made it without wireless earphones. They are a game changer for sure.  The ones I have are the Powerbeats3 Wireless.  I have had them for about a year now and I love them and have never had any trouble with them!


2. Shaker Bottle 
This is one of the items that not everyone would benefit from but if you take any type of pre workout this is the best blender bottle that I have found, and this is because it does not have one of those stainless steal shaker balls in it.  It instead has an agitator that connects to the lid which is so nice because it is less noisy than a blender bottle and one less piece that you have to keep up with! It also keeps your drink cold for a very long time. 


3. Animo Acids 
I am by no means a nutritionist so find what works best for you, but Essential Amino Energy is something that I take usually post workout and LOVE. I think that is helps with soreness and recovery.  I have been a fan of Essential Amino Energy for years now.  It is very unlikely that I use a product for years... so that means its good.  I have tried most of the flavors but two of my favorites would have to be grape or fruit fusion.


4. Brooks Running Shoes 
If you know me you know my OBSESSION with tennis shoes so I have tried a whole lot of different brands.  I have been wearing the Brooks Ghost 11 Running Shoes here for a while now when running. For as many miles as I have put on them they have held up very well.  Since I bought mine they have come out with the Ghost 12, might have to upgrade here soon;)


I also have another tennis shoes that are a little more flat than the Brooks ones that are better when working out. They are APL and beside the fact that I think APL makes really cool looking shoes I have LOVED them. 


5. Leggings 
In my opinion there is no doubt that Lulu Lemon leggings are worth the money.  They are a statement piece when it comes to my athletic wardrobe.  They stay up better than any legging I have ever worn and have the cutest styles!! If you are wanting a pair I recommend the Align legging, but I also really love the Fast and Free Tight.


But, I have also found a dupe that is a really GREAT option.  The name of the brand is 90 Degree By Reflex, and they stay up very well while running and working out.  A lot of the time if you look in the active wear at TJ MAXX they will have tons of 90 Degree clothing and I have loved all that I have ever bought from them!
