Home Workout Essentials

Resistance Bands

My Recommendation: Prosource Fit Tube Resistance Bands Set with Attached Handles, Door Anchor, Carrying Case and Exercise Guide

Designed to target all of your muscles through a full range of motion for increased strength and toning, without any machines or special equipment. Comes in a carrying case with a convenient door anchor so you can fit in a workout wherever you go. Includes an exercise guide with instruction, strengthening tips, and workout ideas. Resistance bands are extremely versatile, great for rehabilitation, toning and strengthening muscles, Pilates exercises, P90X, outdoor workouts, and travel.

Kettlebells

My Recommendation: Women’s Beginner Kettlebell Package

The Women’s Beginner Kettlebell Package is the best way to get started with kettlebell training. Rather than choosing a single weight, this package gives you the option to choose what’s best for your beginner training (either 4kg, 8kg, or 12kg) AND progress when necessary. It also allows you to switch to the appropriate kettlebell weight based on the exercise you’re performing. If you lift weights and have been taught by a kettlebell professional, we usually recommend starting with 8kg (18lbs).

Jump Rope

My Recommendation: Tone It Up Cardio Jump Rope

Boost your metabolism and get your heart rate up anywhere with this portable jump rope! Rope is 9 feet in length and adjustable to suit your height and preferences.

Medicine Ball

Me Recommendation: Titan Fitness Adjustable 5 Medicine Ball Steel Storage Tree Strength Training

The Titan Fitness medicine ball tree for assorted sizes is a great way to organize your medicine balls in a compact upright way. The convenient 12″ x 12″ size is a perfect space-saving addition to any gym or other workout space with a need to store medicine balls. The adjustable design makes stacking them as easy as sliding them onto the appropriate level for the size ball, as the top fastener can widen the storage bars from 5 1/2″ to 6 5/8″ at the top while staying at 7″ on the bottom. Place larger balls on the bottom and smaller ones on the top. Some assembly required.

Set of Dumbbells

My Recommendation: Tone Fitness Neoprene Dumbbell Set with Rack, 32 Pounds of Weights

Convenient dumbbell storage rack plus 3 pairs of neon colored dumbbells – 3 pound, 5 pound, and 8 pound; 3 pound weights are magenta, 5 pound weights are lime green, and 8 pound weights are orange. The durable, neoprene material is great for indoor and outdoor workouts; Use dumbbells for a full body workout or to target individual muscle groups. The set is compact and perfect for travel; Don’t let your workouts stop at home; Dumbbells are an essential addition to any strength training routine.

Mirror

My Recommendation: 12 Pieces Self Adhesive Acrylic Mirror Sheets, Flexible Non Glass Mirror Tiles Mirror Stickers for Home Wall Decor, 6″ x 6″ and 6″ x 9″

This is such a cool alternative to buying a heavy and bulky mirror. Simply peel off the transparent film on the front “mirror” side and you will get a shiny non-glass decorative mirror, please note it’s not real mirror. It’s ultra thin and flexible and is made of acrylic material, so it can be bent freely. It’s not easy to break and is safer than regular glass mirror.

Gym Mat

My Recommendation: BalanceFrom Puzzle Exercise Mat with EVA Foam Interlocking Tiles for Exercise, MMA, Gymnastics and Home Gym Protective Flooring

With double sided high Density EVA foam non-slip surfaces, this 3/4” thick premium mat comfortably cushions your spine, hips, knees and elbows on hard floors. It has exceptional resilience that allow you to keep your balance during any workout. It’s moisture resistant technology makes the mat to be easily washed with soap and water.

I think about this ALL. THE. TIME. ✨ I think about this ALL. THE. TIME. ✨
✨ Harrison Finnley Michaels 12/8/2019 ✨ Three ✨ Harrison Finnley Michaels 12/8/2019 ✨
Three months with this little guy and our worlds are rocked. He’s gone from just opening his eyes to rolling over, pushing himself up, grabbing at toys (and my phone as I type this out). He loves to laugh and talk in his baby language all day long 🤣 and sleeps all through the night 🙌🏼 How did we get so blessed with him?! @kmichaels216
Wedding Bells 💍 We are finally diving into some Wedding Bells 💍
We are finally diving into some wedding planning after our engagement last year and not going to lie, it’s overwhelming! We are super laid back and are looking for something small to celebrate. For me, this day isn’t about a big, fancy dress, or hundreds of guests to entertain. It’s about spending time with Kevin and I together committing our lives to one another. I was recommended to check out @shutterfly’s The Wedding Shop and mocked up an invite in this beautiful botanical print perfectly personalized to us and our style. Love our custom candle (smells so good!) and champagne flutes too! Check out my stories for more behind the scenes of unpacking our wedding items and some close ups! #MyShutterfly (ad)
CATCHING UP, what do you have going on this week? CATCHING UP, what do you have going on this week?
• This morning I had an eye exam to check my contacts / glasses Rx. I shared new glasses on Stories but turns out the Rx was wrong in them. I’m TRYING to wear my glasses more around the house and splurged on a pair from @ysl hoping that would help me do it 🤣🤓
• I haven’t been a big concealer wearer but I’ve been testing out the @urbandecaycosmetics naked concealer and have been liking how light it feels on my skin (I’m wearing it here, dress is new from @urbanoutfitters!)
• A work-related project this week—I’m trying to get my inbox of 700 emails down to zero. My problem is that I’ll get an email with some great piece of info in it and think “oh this is great! I can’t work on this right now but I’ll save for when I can” and I mark it unread. Well over time that has added up to 700 😬 I’m thinking of tackling it by sorting through and noting down whatever idea it is in my notebook (paper planner for LIFE! 📒) to reference it and have them all in one place. Maybe this will work!
• I’m currently sitting here watching this little baby sleep and the whole “I want to eat this baby” thing is SO REAL. What is it about babies where it makes us say that?!? He loves his @bibs_usa and @mushie_co!
• I’m considering cutting 3-4 inches from my hair....but here’s the kicker...I have this weird urge to DO IT MYSELF. Maybe I don’t want to put it off until I can get an appointment but I just want to cut it now. Please you guys, talk me out of doing this with scissors in the bathroom 🤣✂️
• Kevin and I have been binge watching @abcscandal and it’s SO ADDICTING. If you haven’t watched it, join us on Netflix but don’t blame me when you’re 2 episodes past your bedtime 😜 we are currently on season 4 of 7!
• WHAT ARE YOU UP TO THIS WEEK???
NEW MOM FASHION AND BEAUTY HACKS: 💁🏼‍♀️
1️⃣ Style your hair once ride that beautiful hair through the week with minimal effort. I use the @t3micro curling wand on day 1 fresh hair to put a little curl in it. On days 2-4 I use dry shampoo—my favorite is @livingproofinc to soak up oil, and then on days 5+ when dry shampoo doesn’t cut it anymore I throw on a cute beanie
2️⃣ Still trying to “bounce back” (whatever that means...) after baby? Same mama, same. @spanx leather-look leggings suck it all in and help as a postpartum support during healing. Win win!
3️⃣ Duster coats are the ONLY thing I want to wear. Not only do they keep you cozy as we wait for spring, but having pockets is NECESSARY for me. Phone in one, pacifier in another, and whatever other random things I need to bring with me when my arms are full with a baby
4️⃣ Lots of undereye concealer for that 8 hours of sleep look. @tartecosmetics shape tape is a favorite but I’ve been testing out @urbandecaycosmetics stay naked concealer and really like it for more natural coverage
MAMAS, WEIGH IN: What are you mom fashion and beauty hacks?! #newmomhacks
Our morning walk ritual ☺️ It’s still been a Our morning walk ritual ☺️
It’s still been a bit chilly out in the mornings but that doesn’t stop us from bundling up (in matching hats no less!) and going for a walk around our neighborhood. Baby carrying is a wonderful thing once you get the hang of it! I love how it gives you a bit of a workout with the added weight of a baby (Harrison is 11lbs now!) and gives them a chance to look around with a different view than the stroller. I can’t wait until he’s big enough to be front facing and then he can really look out at the world. I’ve been using the @nuna_usa @potterybarnkids CUDL carrier (this fabric is the broken arrow caviar) and my favorite feature are the magnetic clips that automatically snap into place to hold baby snugly. #lovemypbk
