Currently Coveting - Workout Equipment & Accessories (Featuring Dicks Sporting Goods, American Eagle, & Amazon)

Happy New Year!

 

This is the time of year that so many people make New Years resolutions to workout more and get healthy.

 

Here are some of my workout equipment & accessories that I am currently coveting at the moment!

Outdoor Products Trail Diva Waist Pack - This seems perfect for carrying water, keys, and your cell phone during a nice outdoor walk, jog, or walk whichever your speed.

 

American Eagle Aerie Sequin Yoga Shortie - These are super cute and affordable! A great alternative to the Victoria Secret version.

 

Fitness Gear 8 lb Concave Kettlebell - Super cute and effective!

 

Empower 3-in-1 Kettlebell - This is great for beginners (or anyone for that matter). This allows you to adjust the weights as you advance in one simple product.

 

Polar FT4 Heart Rate Monitor - This beauty tracts your calories burned and monitors your heart rate while your working out. I actually ordered this from Amazon (way cheaper than other places) in PINK. :) I am so excited to start using this in the new year.

 

Fitness Gear 1 lb Neoprene Dumbbell - I picked this particular product because of the color! Dumbbells are perfect to incorporate in your workout routines.

 

Fitness Gear 8 lb Neoprene Dumbbell - Another cute addition to your workout equipment. It's important to gradually work your way up as you gain muscle and strength.

 

NIKE Women's Free Run+ 2 Running Shoe in Turquoise & Black - My favorite brand of running shoes is NIKE. These babies are gorgeous! A nice pair of running shoes make workout (and everyday life in general) more comfortable. I live in my NIKE running shoes - whether I'm working out or running errands.

 

 

Side note - I am not a fitness expert. I am a 24 year old (almost!) woman who wants to get fit and become healthier. These are my opinions. I am in no way an expert about workout equipment. The most important thing to remember is that everyone is different and you should do what works for you.

SIMPLE WAYS TO INCORPORATE HEALTHY CHOICES

I'm not sure how many people read my blog, but I am loving writing in it lately!! I thought since I can't go roller skating tonight that I would spend some quality time on my blog and watch some of the Harry Potter marathon that has been playing on ABC Family these past couple of days.

  

I have been meaning to go through my makeup collection and throw out anything that is really old, in bad shape, or something that I haven't used in a very long time. While I am going through my makeup tonight I will write a few reviews on the things that I own. Be on the lookout for those reviews coming very soon!

In addition to the makeup reviews, I am also going to give some health tips in this blog entry. My family has been eating healthier and working out. I thought that I would share some of the things that my family has changed in our daily routines.

  

Skinny Cow Ice Cream

Skinny Cow is a great way to enjoy sweets but still eat healthy. Someone in my family is a diabetic and he can eat these due to the lower amount of sugar compared to other brands. There are many different kinds of their ice cream, however the ice cream sandwhiches are my personal favorite.

Diet Mountain Dew

This drink has helped me stop drinking normal pop/soda. I think diet options are a great way to wein yourself off of pop if you can't go cold-turkey. The taste is still great and an added bonus is that it has 0 calories, 0 carbohydrates, and 0 sugars! No pop/soda is definitely better for your body, however this option is better than non-diet options. I haven't really researched other brands and flavors, however I'm sure that there are other options for those of you that do not like Mountain Dew.

Wyler's Light Sugar Free Lemonade

This is my favorite beverage in the summer time. This drink is perfect for replacing caffeinated beverages that you may drink daily.  This drink contains only 5 calories, 0 carbohydrates, and 0 sugars per serving. There are other flavors for this brand as well, however I have not tried them. You can also buy to-go versions to mix in your water bottles. Yummy!

Jello Sugar Free Pudding

These are a great snack to have in the house that is healthy for you! These come in a variety of flavors and have only 60 calories, 13 carbohydrates, and 0 sugars per serving. These tasty treats have 45% fewer calories than this brands normal pudding.

Weight Watchers String Cheese

While none of my immediate family is participated in weight watchers, this product is my personal favorite snack! This is the best string cheese for you (at least at my supermarket). These lovelies are only 50 calories, less than 1 carbohydrate, and 0 sugar. Unfortunately I am currently out of these. I love them!

Water

Of course I would add water to this list! Water is the best thing for your body and it is really important to drink the proper amount daily. Any kind of bottled water would work for you. :) Fiji water bottles are so cute but they are definitely too much money for simple water.

Now, I'm sure many of you readers have noticed that I either mentioned beverages or snacks only. Personally, I believe that it is very easy to eat unhealthy when you are snacking or drinking unhealthy products. As for meals, as long as you avoid excess portions or using WAY too much butter, you will have no problem eating healthy. Make sure to stear clear of any and all fast food restaurants!!
