W8FIT Activewear
Did you know that a 150-pound woman burns approximately 234 calories/hour lifting weights while a 160-pound woman will burn 250 calories? “Why” you ask. Well, our bodies burn calories based on weight, exercise, duration and intensity, so when you add weight to your body, your muscles work harder–therefore burning more calories. And while I am not suggesting you gain weight in order to improve your calorie burning capabilities, I do suggest snagging W8FIT Activewear! Developed by seasoned fitness instructor and personal trainer Maya Kaminsky this high-performance fitness apparel has custom-designed pockets that hold W8FIT weights. Each item uniquely moves with a woman’s body, looks slimming and adds resistance training. I love how the tanks are long and rounded and how the pants have a seam down the back of the legs (instant slimming quality). So hurry, get your weight up sis and snag some W8FIT Activewear.

lululemon
Sun’s out, run out. SPF is always invited to my summer fun runs and I love to rock any gear by favorite FitGirl line lululemon– so when I heard about their new UPF 50+ protective line I had to share! This lightweight long sleeve hooded pullover is the perfect addition to my morning summer runs. Clocking miles feels like a breeze in this breathable “swim” fabric and I absolutely adore the underarm ventilation! The front pocket is perfect for stashing your tunes and ID while out and about, and the ponytail hole on the hoodie might be the cutest addition I’ve ever seen on fitness gear. You’ve done it again lululemon: Perfection!

CW-X
Muscle support, joint support, increased stability, increased balance, faster recovery, better endurance and less fatigue can all be yours under one brand: CW-X. The Patented CW-X Support Web™ technology mimics kinesiology-taping techniques that trainers apply to injured muscles. When this technology is applied to muscles and joints it creates an exoskeletal support system that improves biomechanics during motion and consequently supports key areas so that your muscles can work more efficiently. In simple terms: work harder, longer and ultimately become stronger. In training for the NYC Marathon I cannot imagine doing so without CW-X. I have endured several months of lower back pain however due to the CW-X Support Web™ within the Stabilyx™ tights midsection the support of the lower abdominals, hips and back has been life changing. This coupled with the channeled support around the knees has lead to several painless training runs. I am so grateful to have discovered this phenomenal brand and you will be too!
