9 Things You Needed For Your Fitness Goals In 2021
9 Things You Needed For Your Fitness Goals In 2021
Let’s talk about fitness
Let’s talk about fitness; not something I talk a lot about. Fitness isn’t something I talk about because, well… I don’t love it! However, s I get older, staying active is even more critical. I’m not a gym girl at all. However, I do love pilates, yoga, and weight classes.
It’s not something I do regularly, but I am trying hard to do it. Adding these in more frequently has been something I am working on. I’ve always been very flexible; this has started to change. Losing my flexibility was something I didn’t want to lose, and I have prioritized staying flexible.
Exercise I do like
I like a good walk with my hubby, friends, or family. A good hike with the girls is always fun and an adventure, and being outside in the fresh air and getting the much-needed vitamin C is how I prefer to get in my exercise.
I know how important it is to keep your flexibility and muscle mass up. This year, I am making a better attempt to add some strength training, a kettlebell, and more yoga and pilates. Adding meditation is new to me but has been much needed for my mind and spirit.
Here are a few pieces I love, perfect for workouts, hikes, and even lounging.
Above, I thought I would share some things I love and use now.
9 Things You’ll love
- Lulu lemon sports bra= I love the soft fabric and support.
- Lulu Lemon Legging= I love it comes in 3 lengths (I need the longest). Firstly, these are not see-through like some of the Lululemons I’ve had before. Instead, the fabric is butter soft and holds you in.
- Yoga mat= I love everything about this mat, the feel, the comfort, and the design.
- Northface jacket= I love a puffer jacket, and it is much needed in Utah. Winter and even Spring walks can be very chilly. Warm, comfortable, and stylish.
- Water bottle= I love the timelines marked to keep me on track. Drinking a lot of water daily has always been important to me, and this helps.
- Kettelbell= 10 pounds, not a ton of weight, but it gives you a good workout.
- Meditation cushion= perfect for that quiet time. I love the look and comfort.
- Collagen powder= is So essential for your joints and benefits your hair, nails, and skin.
- Walking shoes= are so affordable and comfortable. I love the style and comfort.
Collagen is something everyone needs, but even more critical as we age. I add it to my coffee or tea in the morning. I have seen a massive difference in my hair, nails, and, most importantly, my knees.
Yoga is excellent for flexibility, core strength, and your mind. If your weather is nice, try it outside, I promise you’ll love the sense of peace. Not to mention the importance of Vitamin C. Grab a girlfriend if you need a little nudge. (I use a Yoga class on Youtube) You only need 15-30 mins a day to see results. Here’s one I like HERE. For a successful Meditation, you only need 10-15 min daily. Meditation HERE

I use Vital Proteins in my coffee every afternoon. These are all such good pieces and pieces of equipment to have. The older we get, it’s definitely crucial to keep fit and healthy. I was actually just encouraging (nagging) my mom about it. LOL
