Getting Fit with TKO Accessories

Happy Monday y'all! Hope you had a fabulous Easter! It is such a special holiday and I'm so thankful I was able to go home and celebrate with my family.

To combat all the goodies I consumed (I'm looking at you fun-sized snickers!) I'm diving back in to my workout routine full force. As I've mentioned on here several times, I've really been getting into my groove with running, so I'm always looking for accessories that make my run easier- enter the TKO Fitness Belt. With two different sized pockets, it can hold your keys, ID, phone (fits up to an iPhone 6) and even a granola bar for those long runs! Love that it stays in place during all my stretches too!

My Favorite Running Gear + Playlist

I have never been a runner. My whole life I've looked in envy and awe at the powerful ladies I would see running with their strollers on Saturday morning, or the gentlemen I would see completing half-marathons & marathons with grace. For the longest time I didn't think I had a chance at that being me. About half-way through 2015 I decided that I wanted to become the very thing I was not sure I could do... be a runner! Although I'm by no means a marathon-er (maybe one day!) I've seen my running "game" grow by leaps and bounds and am so proud to see the distances I can now travel on my own two feet :) 

So for any of my other runners, or girls who are trying to start too, I thought it would be great to kick off the week with a round-up my favorite sports gear + some of my favorite running songs. If you have any recommendations for additional gear or great jams send 'em my way!

Who "Runs" the World? Girls!

Working out has always been an important part of my life. As a girl "blessed" with a curvier bottom half that gains all my weight, a healthy dose of cardio has always needed to fit into my schedule. I'm a big fan of Zumba classes (gotta love all the booty-shaking) and I love the motivation of group fitness classes, but I've recently picked up a running regime too. I think it had to do with getting my Fitbit in March, but all of a sudden I became obsessed focused on not only meeting my 10,000 daily steps goal, but beating it! Logically, running seemed to be the fastest way to do that (and I'm all about an efficient workout). I still hesitate to call myself a "runner" but I'm enjoying my newfound hobby and the freedom I have to do it anytime & anywhere.

All that said, my workout gear needs to keep up with my busy pace and be able to move & sweat right along with me. Being cute too is a huge positive! That's why I love these RBX Active capris- they are lightweight, yet have full coverage (no peek-a-boo!) and they stretch and move like it's nobody's business! Luckily for you, they are offering my readers a 25% discount on their entire site through July 31st with code "Active25" so you can pick up some fab workout gear too!
