New Year, New Workout Gear

Working out can be tricky to fit into your busy schedule. As Ian begins to get more mobile, Charlie and I are going to have to find more creative ways to both get our hour in each day. It is the best stress reliever for us both, and we thoroughly enjoy our gym's community (plus the fact that it's less than two miles from our house helps just a little bit too)! 

I decided I wanted to share my favorite new workout gear for 2016 that will help keep me motivated to get to the gym or at least get a workout in at home! Narrowing down to a few pieces was tough, but these final four are definitely what I have been using and will continue to use the most. A couple of these were a splurge for me, but totally worth it!

I absolutely love the way these fit, feel and move when I am working out. I have a few of the crops and one pair of the leggings and have been so happy with both. I am 5'9 and was nervous about the length on the tights, but the length was a perfect fit for me. I usually try to find the pairs that are reversible. Yes, you heard it right, reversible! It makes me feel like I am getting a little more bang for my buck that way, but either way, I have a feeling these will be on the top of my list for a while.

My husband gave me the sweet mint color from the glitter collection for Christmas, and I have loved using it. The bottle doesn't sweat, yet keeps my water chilled until I need a refill. They have three different sizes, which is great. I have the 17oz and it's a perfect size to throw in my diaper bag, but I am thinking I need to snag the 25oz one soon! ;)  Plus, they have tons of adorable colors/prints (geared toward women and men) and they are BPA free. Win, win!

Whenever I go to the gym, I always struggle to find a speed rope that is just the right length to perform double-unders. I decided to purchase my own, so I could just have it with me and not have to search on the days the workout called for jumping rope. I have really love my NAK jump rope, and it was super affordable. What is even better, is that I keep in my diaper bag and whenever I cannot make it to the gym or am traveling, I can always come up with a quick workout. Plus, mine is pink and cute, so it's easier to pick out my rope if it were to ever get mixed up at the gym!

I'm pretty sure I own this tank in about four or five different colors. I tend to find it at the outlets and snag a couple when I see them on sale because I love them that much! I'm not one for a tight fitting tank when I workout, so thats why I love these. The fit is loose, but not too baggy, the tri-cotton blend is extremely soft and the length is perfect for me.  

What are your favorite workout pieces?
