Everything you need for your workout routine
New year, new routines. If you plan on prioritizing movement this year, here’s everything you need.
Fuel your workout
Hydration is essential to daily life, especially during your workouts. If you’re upping your workout routine, then you should up your hydration. Find a water bottle you love to help motivate you.
Stanley’s iconic Quencher H2.0 Flowstate Tumbler is a good choice if you want something with a handle or if you’re looking for one with a filter, LARQ’s Bottle Filtered is another option.
Looking to give your hydration a boost? Try Cure’s hydration packets, an electrolyte drink mix with only plant-based, non-GMO ingredients that tastes as good as it feels.
It may also be a good idea to add more protein to fuel your workout and aid in muscle recovery.
Rookie Wellness has a protein powder packed with vitamins and minerals, pre and probiotics, amino acids, and more so that your shake is more absorbable, gut-friendly, and has all the good stuff for your holistic health. Plus, you can save 15% with code ALLISWELL — and see other ways you can add Rookie to your routine.
Another way to power your workout: CBD. Offfield specializes in high performance sports drinks, energy gummies, and hydration powders to help athletic performance (and they’ve got the research to back it up).
At-home workouts
For days when you don’t feel like hitting the gym or your favorite studio, you can opt for an at-home workout. Having equipment at home is also a great way to stay consistent, or for those that rather workout in privacy.
Pvolve has a variety of expert-led programming to support member goals throughout various stages of their lives. So there's something for everyone. Check out this feature to meet their lead trainer and get matched to the perfect workout regimen.

Bala, known for their super cute wrist and ankle weights, also has home equipment options:
A great time to use Bala Bangles is while walking. If it’s too cold to head out, take a walk on your WalkingPad. They’ve got options that fit right under your standing desk so you can walk while you work, or foldable full treadmills for running that you can easily stow away after you use it.
Packing your gym bag
If you’re heading out for your workout, there are a few essentials you need to take with you. If you’re in the market for a gym bag, the Gymshark Studio Gym Bag is perfect whether you’re hitting the gym or your favorite pilates or yoga studio.
A few things to include in your bag:
Deodorant: We love Humble’s aluminum-free deodorant (learn more about the brand)
A mat: Perfect for yoga or pilates
Face wipes: To clear your skin of sweat and oils after your workout
Recovery
Taking time to recover is just as important as the workout itself. Check out these b,halfmoon products to stretch, relax, and release post-workout.
