My Gift Up Close

My Favorite Workout Things

Okay, so here’s the scoop on MY basket:

1.  $50 Bucks to Lululemon!!! I’m totally obsessed with lululemon’s workout clothes.  They’re SUPER comfy, soft, breathable, and CUTE!  I must say, they’re pretty pricey, but every once in a while, it’s fun to treat myself and every time I do… whatever I get end up being my favorite.  Right now, I’m loving the Studio Pant II and the Run: Swiftly tanks.

2. Box of QuestBars!!! These babies are PACKED with protein and they taste pretty darn good.  They’re great to have on hand after a workout, when you need a quick and easy snack, or any time.  I’m a big fan.  A box of 12 runs about $25 bucks.

3. FitBit Zip Wireless, retails $50.  My kids and I ALL have one of these things.  They’re a handy way to keep track of steps, calories burned, distance traveled, etc.  You can set your fitness goal online and let the FitBit help you track it.  It’s a great way to motivate you to get moving, OR if you’re already moving… moving more. 🙂

4. Nalgene 32 oz. Water Bottle.  I’ve mentioned this before, but I’m a water bottle snob and these are my fave!  I love the wide mouth, the attached lid, and how overall sturdy they are.  These are the only water bottles I buy anymore.  And, I got you the BIG 32 oz. size so you can drink more water.  I try and drink 4 of these a day!

Good stuff, right!??!   Let’s get you entered to win! GIVEAWAY BANNER a Rafflecopter giveaway
