A Fitness Instructor's Christmas List
Dec 12, 2020You've been good all year, and it's finally time to send your list to Santa. Being the fitness lover you are, it's no surprise that 80% of your list is fitness-related! You could even argue that weighted blanket you're eyeing will help with post-run leg compression, ha!
Here's the top things on my list this year. This year I've taught thousands of minutes of classes both in the studio and at-home. These are the items that got me through and left a smile on my face!
1. Kettlebell Gains Apparel - This is the newcomer to the list. As a Kettlebell instructor, what's taken me so long to try them? The world may never know. One thing is clear - they make awesome Kettlebell apparel that the KB world goes bananas over and that promotes strong women. Please picture you wrapped up in this sweater ($40)or in this tank ($26) swinging some heavy A$$ ShXt in the gym.
Tank $26, Sweater $40 | Check them out!
2. Nuun Hydration - *Stocking Stuffer Alert* If I came out of season 40 of survivor dying of thirst and was asked what I waned to drink, I'd ask for a strawberry-lemonade Nuun tablet, periodT. I got into these when I was training for my marathon. Then, 305 Fitness, the studio I worked at back in pre-COVID days, supplied them for instructors to drink during class. Classes were insanely fun and sweaty full-out dancing - these tablets felt god-sent after losing so much sweat. That's why I recommend them to all fitness lovers. Fxk the sugary sports drinks (you know which one) and get on board!
PS In full transparency, Nuun has a lot of flavors going on. I would be doing a disservice if I didn't tell you ... I ignore ALL of them and only buy the SPORT strawberry-lemonade. I buy this shxt 10 at a time. It's the best flavor IMO. Lime is a runner up

3. New running shoes - this is a bbit like asking for socks, kinda boring but necessary. One of the biggest problems runners find is not switching out their shoes every few months and their knees starting to hurt. This is the same if you do dance cardio as well. Go ahead, lace up with some new kicks in 2021. Personally, I swear by my Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 36 Women's Running Shoe (version 37 as of 2020). She's ms. reliable.

4. 305 Fitness Apparel - I am queen of the biker shorts. I'm a little sad I discovered them so late in life, or maybe it's that it took me that long to not give 1 FxK about if people thought I should be wearing booty shorts or something that doesn't make my already big thighs look bigger. Honestly - biker shorts are life changing. When asked about my cutest pairs, I ALWAYS say 305 fitness. Now, I have literally no skin in the game here, and it's even confusing AF to me how a studio that specializes in dance, not in fitness apparel, somehow makes better biker shorts than literally every fitness brand I've tried (I've tried them all). Rumor is that 305 has some new items coming THIS Monday December 14th! Hunny, I'd just book mark the site.

Runner up for Biker Shorts - Colorful Koala comes in at just $20. I was told to try these by my cousin who is much younger and cooler than I am ....for $20 they absolutely made my list! Check it out!
5. Workout Gear - I'm lumping all the equipment I asked for together hehe. I will say there were 2 stages to building out my at home gym, kettlebells and gym mats. If you haven't gotten a Kettlebell yet, I'm always happy to help you choose the perfect one to take home. Just holler on IG. Without further ado, my new addition will be:
