twist-hem top | leggings | Fitbit | LARQ bottle
I don’t know about you, but I’ve always been a huge fan of at-home workouts! Even before the shelter in place order, I’ve been doing at-home workouts for years! I love that I don’t even have to leave the comfort of my home to get in a quick and effective workout thanks to the right equipment and the convenience of YouTube videos (Blogilates workouts are my fave!). Here are my favorite at-home workout essentials to help you up your game and stay motivated!
Old Navy leggings | Victoria’s Secret sports bra | Nike running shoes | LARQ water bottle | AirPods | slider discs | Fitbit Inspire HR | weights | Lululemon yoga mat
Old Navy Leggings | I recently purchased these leggings from Old Navy and immediately placed a new order for another pair to have as a back-up! The blue color is so beautiful and vibrant (perfect for spring/summer) and the fabric is extremely soft and stretchy, while still holding you in. I also ordered them in black, because I firmly believe it’s impossible to own too many pairs of black leggings! Highly, highly recommend these! They’re also currently on sale for only $30 – such a steal for a quality pair of leggings!
Victoria’s Secret Sports Bra | This front-close sports bra from Victoria’s Secret is my favorite! I own it in so many different colors. I personally prefer the front-close style as it’s much easier to get off and on – no more twisting your body trying to pry your sweaty sports bra off! This one is also perfect for my larger chested ladies – it provides a lot of support and is great for high impact workouts.
Nike Revolution 5 Running Shoes | I’ve been wearing Nike running shoes for years and years and they are always my go-to’s. I find Nike shoes to be both very comfortable and supportive – two must-have’s for an exercise shoe. Personally, I like to have a separate pair of running shoes that I wear exclusively indoors for my at-home workouts, and these fit the bill!
LARQ bottle | This LARQ bottle might be my favorite item on the list. If you haven’t heard of LARQ, it is a re-chargeable water bottle that uses LED lights to clean itself and purify your water. I wasn’t sure if it would be worth the money but I gave it a try, and it is now 100% an essential for me. I pretty much carry it with me wherever I go! If you’re like me and are too lazy to deep clean your water bottles on a regular basis, you need this in your life! I also find that it encourages me to drink a lot more water – something we probably all need! This bottle comes in two different sizes (I have the 17 oz) and several different colors. I have the color seaside mint – it is too pretty! If you’re looking for a reusable water bottle, I seriously swear by this one!
AirPods | This item is pretty self explanatory, but since it is a must-have workout essential for me, it had to go on the list! I am one of those people that CANNOT workout without music. Music always motivates me in my workouts! AirPods are the best and are perfect for wearing while on the treadmill, doing a Pilates workout, or for going on a walk around the neighborhood.
Slider Discs | I purchased these slider discs a year or two ago when I started doing P.volve workouts. Although I’m now trying other workouts, I do still love to incorporate the slider discs into my ab workouts – they burn so good!! If you haven’t tried slider discs yet, I would definitely recommend them! They’re great for abs but they are also killer in leg/booty workouts! Another alternative would be to just use towels (or even socks!) on hardwood floors – I’ve done this before in hotels and when I didn’t have these discs handy!
Fitbit Inspire HR | My Fitbit is now my favorite workout essential! I was late to the Fitbit game and just purchased one back in January. Since I received it in the mail, it hasn’t left my wrist (except to charge)! I absolutely love tracking my progress and I find that it helps keep me motivated to move my body every day. There are many different styles you can choose from. I personally like the sleek and simple style of the Inspire HR.
Weights | How cute are these 5 lb weights from Target?! If they don’t make you want to do an arm workout, I don’t know what will! I also own the purple 2 lb-ers for when I want less resistance!
Lululemon yoga mat | This is my favorite yoga mat! It’s nicely padded and provides a ton of grip! I tend to get really sweaty when I workout, and I used to hate yoga mats because I would slide around like crazy on them! With this one, no matter how sweaty I get, I don’t ever have to worry about sliding! It comes in a ton of color options – I personally love the slate blue!
