8 Fitness Finds you NEED for your Fitness Journey

1. This walking treadmill is PERFECT for getting your 10K steps in a day. I LOVE this. I keep it next to my desk because it can easily slide in and out for when I want to sit, because I can't just walk all day! It is perfect for the moments where you need to check your emails or attend meetings you aren't talking in...Or are talking in if no one cares. I really thought I wouldn't be able to walk and work, but it is seriously much easier than it seems. 

[I highly recommend this standing desk. It has programmed settings for seamless transitions.]

2. The Apple Watch. This is great for logging those indoor walks or any other fitness activity you are going to do. Plus, you can control music on it. I also find it very helpful when I am working. I keep my phone away from me and use my watch to get those important texts or emails I get paranoid about missing- such as my daughter's daycare or any other emergencies! The way this can integrate into all aspects of my life makes this a win win!

3. Simple yoga blocks! This is great for stretching and doing yoga poses with. It is small and sleek, so easy to store out of sight. I highly recommend taking mini stretching breaks, so these are a useful tool! Especially for beginners.

4. Ankle weights are great tools in addition to the yoga blocks. When doing stretches or yoga, this helps add on a few pounds to tone your legs. You can also use these while walking on the treadmill! They are easy to store and versatile for workouts.

5. Of course with stretching, we need a good yoga mat! I really LOVE this yoga mat because it shows the poses right on the mat! It is so hard for me to remember any yoga routine because my mind is full of so many other things. Of course, you can watch a routine on YouTube as well. I really love Yoga by Adrienne. However, I understand that it can be nice taking a break from a screen when taking stretching breaks.

6. This yoga ball is perfect for the office! If you want to take a walking treadmill break, this can still keep your core engaged and help with posture while you sit at your desk and work. You can also use this when taking stretching breaks and find yoga/Pilates ball workouts. I look a lot up on Pinterest or YouTube!

7. Of course, AirPods are great for getting us in the right mood to workout. I love these wireless AirPods because I can use them in meetings, but I can also use them when I want to take work stretch breaks or jam out on the treadmill. These also sync with the Apple Watch. Remember when I said that the Apple Watch can control music? It is so great for working out. As a bonus tip, these together are awesome tools for cleaning. It keeps me off my phone because I have everything I need on me, and don't have to deal with the hassle of cords. Plus, my phone calls come straight to my AirPods!

8. For those who really like being active and having a fun work break, you could use this Ring Fit Adventure by Nintendo! This is a fun way to get your fitness in while playing games! Of course, you would need the Nintendo Switch. I love taking these game breaks during my day when I feel like I am stuck in a rut. You would need to make sure you have a TV in your office if you were to play this in there. I do love having a TV to stream some nice Lo-Fi music in the background anyways!

I hope you found some of my tips and tricks for getting fitness in useful! I am always coming up with more ideas to get my life together while I balance so many things. Remember to take a moment to have fun, take breaks, and stay hydrated!
