2016 New Fitness Gear and Accessories for Your Workouts

 2016 is off to an amazing start and today I wanted to share with you some new gear, accessories and items that I will be using or having been using (and loving) to help me with my fitness goals over the next few months. I am always testing out new things but the below items are some of my current favorites – hopefully there might be some that you like or already use! With the holidays gone it was the perfect time to use some of my gift cards and cash to invest in my health – so I went ahead and picked up a few new things.

Resistance Bands

I am so excited to have finally purchased a set of resistance bands. I have seen a ton of videos and online workouts of girls using these for leg day exercises and I knew I had to get a pair. The Phantom Fit resistance bands set is under $15 and comes with four bags and a carry case. You can put these on your legs and do lunges side to side, while you are doing dead lifts, crab walks and more. I plan to do a video to show you how I am using these soon.

Beats by Dre Wireless Bluetooth Headphones

For those of you who follow me and my videos online I’ve been a big fan of over the ear Beats by Dre Solo headphones. I just felt they were always super comfy to wear and really likes them to tune the world out during my routine. I recently was getting so tired of the cords being in the way during my workouts and wanted to try a beats by dre bluetooth set and then saw these little mini ones that go behind the ear. I will say they take some time to get used to and I don’t think I will stop using my other headphones completely, but these are great when lifting when you don’t want anything to get in your way. The sound is incredible and they are so light you forget you have anything on.


*by the way if anyone asks ,yes that is a wine cell phone case that has movable “red wine” liquid inside. It’s amazing and was given to me as a gift for the holidays because my friends know my love of red wine.

Nike Pro Women’s Half Zip Jackets

For me when it comes to workout clothes it is always about layering, this way as I get warmed up in the gym I can remove things and put them back on. I really love the Nike Pro Half Zips which fit really well and allow for warmth as I am training. I like to keep it on during my workout and then remove it once I am ready to start sweating! I have a few colors and have a bit of an obsessions with them now and like to pick up one ever week or two to go to my collection. Nike Pro are some of my favorite workout clothes because they are soft, fit well and super dry fit and breathable.

New Fitness Apparel Must Haves

I always recommend finding clothing that makes you feel GOOD! Have you ever went to the gym in a pair of pants that were just way too tight, or a sports bra that fit all sorts of wrong? You never have a good workout and you feel self conscious. I prefer to buy my pants in a size that fits well but is not too snug because I don’t want to feel like my clothes are “tight” – you ladies will understand.

Fitness Gear from Forever21.com

Did you know that Forever 21 sells amazing workout gear (view more of their styles here) that is super affordable and cute too. I got these “Mind Over Matter” grey burn out leggings and I wish I could buy them in every color – they fit so well and I love the motivational saying on the side. You can still buy them online now for $19.90 click here

The tank tops I bought in both grey and black (click here). They are open back muscle tanks which show off your sports bra and they were under $10 each and are so comfy. They also don’t wrinkle in the wash which I love, they stay soft and are also a little long so they don’t rise up when you are lifting over your head.

  Lululemon Workout Short Shorts

I have to admit I have never shopped for anything at Lululemon before. I found their clothes to be so pricey and just always stood by my favorite brands like Nike, Forever21 and Reebok. I got a gift card for Christmas and decided to put it toward some workout shorts from their website since I needed a new pair and knew it was something I’d likely never buy full price (these were $58!). They are super comfy and form fitting and hold everything in place. The sizing is a bit strange since it goes by number (I wear a size 4 shorts). Overall they do fit really nice and are not see thru.

I also recently purchased some new cups and blades for my Nutribullet which I use without fail every single morning for my current protein shake. If you don’t yet own a Nutribullet I highly recommend it – it helps me daily to make a delicious shake to take with me on the go and meet my macros for protein.
