Start Clean with a New Routine: 7 Essentials to a Fit, Fab You

Reusable Water Bottle
Staying hydrated is imperative to help keep muscles functioning properly. Workout-friendly water bottles have come a long way with clever features like button-activated pop-up straws, filtration devices, and lightweight, foldable designs.

Athleisure Outfits
Gone are the days of old t-shirts and worn-in sweatpants. Activewear has now gotten a major dose of style. From yoga pants to hoodies to sneakers, choose styles that can take you easily from the spin studio to the street—so you’re always ready to go! 

The Right Pair
Not all sneakers are created equally. For runners especially, finding the right shoes is essential to having proper form and avoiding injury. Support, cushioning, and flexibility are all important factors to consider for any kind of athletic footwear. And remember—shoes do have an expiration date.

Gym Bag
It’s all about compartmentalizing—in a good way—with a new generation of fashionable gym totes. Look for updated features like smartphone holders and pockets for valuables, where you can store jewelry while you work out.

Yoga Mat
Stretching and warming up before you head out for a run, take an exercise class, or weight train is a great way to prevent injury and strain. Having a yoga mat is handy for stretching at home or at the gym, and, of course, for yoga classes, which can help build flexibility and strength.

Self-Massage Tool
A proper post-exercise routine is often the easiest step to skip—but is one of the most important for your recovery. But, we can’t always splurge for that 90-minute Swedish massage. After an intense workout, try an at-home tool like the Wahl Hot-Cold Therapy Massager. The interchangeable temperatures help relieve muscle tension by enhancing blood flow, while working to decrease inflammation and swelling.
