1. A set of Burlybands because it's time we ditch the dollar store hair ties and look to greener pastures. These won't stretch out, won't break after that extra wrap, and genuinely stay in place, plus they feature a seamless design that won't damage your hair (...unlike the one you're currently sporting on your wrist).
2. Ultraboost running sneakers crafted with a sock-like fit that guarantees comfort straight outta the box. These provide a ton of cushiony bounce, making 'em perfect for intense jogs or casual strolls alike.
3. TSLA leggings comparable to bottoms from much more expensive brands. Not only are these high-waisted leggings super comfortable, but they've also got pockets and aren't see-through — which means you can wear more cropped tops and feel totally at ease knowing the world is unaware of what color your underwear is.
4. A high-density foam roller that provides the perfect post-workout massage (it helps increase circulation, aka no 👏 more 👏 soreness 👏). It's also great at relieving I-sit-all-day muscle stiffness that results in an achey back and legs.
5. Anti-slip resistance bands for increasing the difficulty level of your favorite strength exercises. Add these to something as simple as, say, a squat and prepare to feel *all* of your muscles engage. Muscles you probably didn't know you had! Okay, I'm making you nervous. I'll stop.
6. Compression socks here to improve your outdoor running game by promoting circulation and increasing blood flow. TLDR; These help prevent leg soreness, cramping, *and* use a moisture-wicking fabric that your sweaty feet will love.
7. A BPA-free Nalgene water bottle with a screw-top lid, dishwasher-safe plastic, and etched-in measurements that let you keep track of exactly how much water you've sipped. This acts as a subtle reminder to stay hydrated, folks.
8. Core sliders for planks, push-ups, and mountain climbers galore. Press play on a true crime podcast *or* tune into the newest Netflix hit whilst engaging your core for a quick (but effective) workout.
9. An ab roller for anyone who has had it up. to. here. with boring crunches and sit-ups. Engage your arms, back, and core with this nifty workout tool, which doesn't take up a ton of space *and* feels like a fun little challenge.
10. A subscription to Openfit, a digital streaming platform that features *all* of your favorite workouts. From yoga and Pilates to boxing and ballet, you'll basically never get bored of exercise thanks to the sheer versatility you'll have access to. What's that I hear in the distance? Is that the sound of, oh wow, motivation?
11. An exercise dress destined to become the ~day to night~ outfit of your activewear arsenal. Have peace of mind knowing you can wear this to a workout class and then immediately to lunch with friends; no packed change of clothes necessary. It's that cute.
12. Nonskid socks that make for a sturdy downward dog. Their grippy bottoms allow you to dig your feet more firmly into the floor, which makes any at-home workout (from yoga to barre) so much easier. Slippery flooring + sweaty feet = no longer your problem.
13. A pair of Powerbeats headphones with crystal clear sound quality *and* a delightfully comfy design that will actually stay put in your ear. That's right, folks! Your earlobe sweat won't make these splurge-worthy buds fall out.
14. Just Dance 2021, because shimmying to Dua Lipa is *the* ideal form of cardio. The newest version of this cult-favorite game features 40 hit songs and is available on four major platforms: Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Wii, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
15. A water-resistant fanny pack capable of holding cash, cards, phone, and an AirPods case. Whether going for a hike or a jog, this hands-free accessory means securely carrying around your essentials (fanny packs are cool now and I don't want to hear otherwise, capisci ?)
16. A machine-washable mat towel, because nothing says "I'm never doing yoga again" quite like your sweaty hands sliding down your sweaty mat to ruin what little stability you have in downward dog. If you know, you know.
17. A smart basketball from DribbleUp, an interactive way to play sports *and* get ye old sweat glands working. It connects directly to a smart device, includes live and on-demand classes, and is a heck ton of fun.
18. No-tie Lock Laces to prevent all "oh crap my shoes are untied and I'm going to trip on this treadmill" fiascoes. These babies are durable, adjustable, and conform to your foot for a personalized feel.
19. A P. Volve starter kit that comes with a p.ball, p.band, 1.5 lb. ankle weights, a heavy ankle band, gliders, a three-month membership to their digital platform, *and* unlimited access for 30 days to their Live Virtual Studio.
20. A wire-free Glamorise sports bra available in cup sizes C-J, giving your breast friends a much-needed dose of extra support for minimum bounce and maximum comfort. If you're the kind of person who wears two sports bras to the gym, then this undergarment is about to change your life.
21. A two-pack of crewneck tees, because it's about time you bid adieu to the ratty old gym shirt you've been wearing for the past, oh, decade. These are simple, sleek, and crafted with a moisture-wicking material.
22. Moxi Beach Bunny roller skates sourced from a thrift shop (or so one would *think*). These vintage-inspired beauties are not only a delight to the eyes, but are an easy way to turn nightly strolls into a more exciting ritual.
23. An elastic Boobuddy for anyone who dreads running because of one word: jiggle. Simply place this strap on top of your sports bra (it's designed with Velcro for hold) and voila!
24. Bala Bangles that weigh one pound each and fasten neatly around your wrist. Is it a chic accessory? Yes, IMO. But does it also boost strength training during barre workouts and Zumba? Also yes.
25. A high impact sports bra that is, in a word, perfect. We're talking front adjustable straps, a wide underband and racerback for maximum support, molded cups, and mesh inserts that say ~sayonara~ to overheating.
26. A third-generation Echo Dot that can do everything from play music and make calls to read the news and set alarms — all at the sound of your voice! Having the ability to send hands-free texts and shuffle playlists whilst doing that at-home kickboxing video? It's about to change your life.
27. An adjustable elastic band you'll regret not having purchased sooner. No more carrying your iPhone like a weight whilst taking a jog — simply put your Spotify on shuffle and rest assured that your fragile device will remain both safe and out of your way.
28. Four-way stretch yoga shorts that hit at *just* the right part of your upper thighs. These are long enough so you can comfortably take a jog knowing your assets won't be exposed to anyone who walks by.
29. Deodorizer balls so that you're not taken aback by the stench coming from your favorite workout sneakers. These absorb odor and and help remove icky bacteria: All you'll have to do is twist and slip these into your favorite kicks for that ~new shoe smell~.
30. Lavender-scented hypoallergenic wipes because morning runs are great in theory, but will you have time to shower before that early morning Zoom meeting? Mmm, probably not. These tea tree oil, peppermint, aloe, and ginseng wipes will quickly cleanse your skin and prevent any body acne apocalypses from occurring.
31. A collapsible treadmill sent from heaven for folks with apartments the size of a shoebox. This bluetooth-compatible machine folds neatly under your bed when not in use, plus it makes for an easy way to get in your steps if the weather outside is best described as freakin' frigid.
32. An activewear set complete with a compression tank and high-waisted shorts, the latter of which are purposely designed with a longer length... aka no more having to pause that kickboxing videos in the name of adjusting yet another wedgie.
33. A rechargeable personal blender great for anyone with limited storage space *and* minimum patience when it comes to post-workout fuel. Simply dump in your favorite ingredients, press the blend button, and BAM! A delicious and nutritious smoothie is yours in seconds.
34. Or! A Dash rapid cooker you can plug in before that quick 10-minute cardio session, and this will handle all the ~hard~ work. Just fill this cooker with water, add up to six eggs, and breakfast is done.
35. Wooden dice for anyone sick of downward dog and child's pose (the latter of which, let's face it, you do *way* too often). This set of seven dice features a different pose on each side, driving the amount of potential yoga combinations into the thousands.
36. A tie-back tank designed with mesh backing to help give alllll that sweat currently pooling on your back the occasional breeze. This is ventilation at its finest, folks.
37. A cooling towel that does exactly what the name implies — it cools you down. Simply soak it in cold water post-workout, wring out the excess H2O, drape it around your neck, and voila! *sweat immediately begins to subside*
38. A Jack Black pain-relieving cream you'll want after a particularly grueling workout. This formula enlists the help of menthol, dragon's blood, MSM, arnica, and willowherb to provide instant relief for post-HIIT sore muscles.
39. A sleeved T-shirt for scenic walks and long hikes. This top enlists the help of a lightweight, moisture-wicking fabric that also provides sun protection and prevents any smelly odors from forming (because all deodorant effectiveness goes right out the window the moment you start to sweat, that's not up for debate).
40. And finally, a splurge-worthy Mirror — in addition to a sleek and practical design (hello, full-length reflection), this grants you access interactive workout classes with the press of a button. No more clunky gym equipment crowding your tiny apartment.
Oh look, it's me! Finally getting the hang of it:
