Summer Workout Gear
A big part of getting in shape is having the right equipment and gear. An unsupportive sports bra or shorts that keep riding up can ruin a workout. If you are doing any kind of serious running, you should replace your shoes every 300-550 miles. I have a good friend who is an avid runner and ends up replacing hers about every two months. Check out Nike or World Shoe Relief for info on how to recycle your old running shoes. So I put together my summer must have list. There’s no reason to stay inside like a hermit when the weather turns nice. But you simply must have the right gear and accessories.
- Silhouette short pants from Jackie Warner. Not shorts but not pants either. Perfect for someone who doesn’t want to have their thighs exposed (me) but needs something cooler.
- Women’s crest hoodie also from Jackie Warner is calling to me. I love hoodies but they are too thick to wear in the summer. This is a great thin, short-sleeved alternative. It has cute little pockets and is nice enough to run errands in after you run.
- Champion’s Underwire Sport Tank Top is great for low impact exercise. I wish I had had this on when I went to my yoga class. It keeps everything in and give you a little support without the additional layer. It would also be great for Pilates.
- Henna practice rug from Barefoot Yoga Co. is perfect for your morning sun salutations. Great for use on decks and
patios. Taking your practice outdoors when the weather is nice is a must. It holds up to the elements and is easily tucked away. - New Balance WT800 is absolutely the best trail running shoe ever. Okay maybe not the best ever but certainly the best I have tried. It’s perfect for uneven and rocky terrain. I also think they’re pretty cute.
What are some of your must-haves? Do share, please.

I love that you are shopping at Jackie Warner’s place, but those shorts have serious potential to be unflattering with the thigh-blousiness going on. I see them as lounge pants, but I can’t imagine running in these. You must tell me if you do decide to get them. I don’t think I could wear them, personally– oh wait, I can’t! They’re only available in small and medium (!).

I wish those shoes came in colors that I liked.
