With the New year upon us, a lot of us are trying to get back into healthy routines and like many of you, I’m looking to dip my toe back into fitness again, so I can get back to feeling stronger and more confident.
I thought it would be best to share my favorite fitness must-haves with you so that we can all start this year on a healthy kick.
I have used these products for at least two years if not more. I swear by these and it makes my fitness routine so special. Most of these products are expensive but well worth it and will last you for years to come.
Here are my 5 Fitness must-haves for 2023:
Lululemon Leggings
Before you click out of this post, hear me out. I know a lot of people recommend lululemon leggings and a lot don’t and say, there are dupes available on Amazon. Yes, there are dupes, but these dupes are not the same. If there is one thing from Lululemon that is worth every penny, is there leggings?
Dupes for other things like jackets, sports bras etc. can be found on Amazon and even other stores for much lower prices but when it comes to leggings, I have to say there is something about the fit of the lululemon leggings that makes it worth the price.
I love all their leggings, but the styles mentioned below are my favorite. The fit of these leggings is amazing. These do not slide down while working out. I have worn them for running, for Pilates, yoga, and even athleisure and they do not disappoint.
Vitamix
I realize that Vitamix is not an affordable must-have to mention on this list, but it can top every kitchen essential in your house.
Before I purchased a Vitamix for myself, I did not enjoy my homemade smoothies and used to spend money buying expensive smoothies. So, when you add up the cost of your yearly smoothies and juices, the Vitamix is well worth it.
The Vitamix is the best blender you can have in your kitchen. Period. You can make smoothies, juices, any other kind of homemade nut milk, or other liquid mixtures that you may need for your daily cooking. I use my Vitamix almost daily because other than the smoothies and juices, it is also very useful for Indian cooking needs.
It will replace so many other items in your kitchen. You will thank me later.
If there is one thing on this list that you should buy this year, its the Vitamix.
Nike Sneakers
Next up on this list, are my good old Nike sneakers. There is not much to say about these sneakers, except that I have had them for almost 3 years now and that it is still one of my favorite sneakers that I reach for all the time, if not every day.
If you need something which has a cushion for your heels, that supports your feet for long hours whether your job requires you to stand all day, or for running, working out, etc. these sneakers are it.
They support my feet so well. I have worn them before for a full day in the theme park, for working out, to even for running errands, and styling them with my lululemon leggings. Yes, you need these.
Hydroflask
I know the Stanley cup is all the rage these days, but I love my Hydro flask ten times more. I loved it so much, that I ordered it for my husband as well, and both of us have been using it for the past 2 years now.
It comes in multiple styles and it keeps the water cold for 24 hours. Cold drinks stay icy cold and hot drinks stay piping hot so you can stay refreshed for any adventure. I have one in my office, and at home, and even carry it with us when we travel.
The best thing about it is, the bottle does not sweat or spill, so you can literally use it whenever and wherever you like.
Everywhere Belt Bag:
I am not a big crossbody bag person, but this belt bag from lululemon is my new obsession. I never thought I will use it as much as I do. I literally take it everywhere with me. I use it on my daily walks, to carry my stuff in the gym, and to run errands, and I love when my hands are free in the grocery store. I have even used it in airports for traveling, and theme parks.
I have been using it for the past 4 months and I am so tempted to buy it in the new color for this year. The material is waterproof, and it holds my phone, cardholder, keys, lip balm, hand cream, and hand sanitizer.
Also, it is quite affordable under $40, and comes in multiple colors. The regular style is always sold out, but if you see it in-store def pick it up. I am linking the other one below, which is sold out in white, but this brown color is available.
Let me know what your must-have fitness products that I should look into for this year and if you have any of these products that I mentioned above, let me know how you like and use them.
