Fitness fanatics… this one is for you!! Now I am NOT a turkey trotter and one that works out on Thanksgiving = but I do LOVE a good workout at the gym on the daily so this list is right up my lane, and it might just help you jumpstart your passion, too.
It took me a long time to get into a groove with all things health + wellness and I have to remind myself ALL the time it’s a marathon, not a sprint… but focusing on the things I love doing [strength training] and doing far less of what I despise [cardio work], has allowed a major shift in my mindset from “I have to do this” to “I get to do this’. Plus it’s pretty fun to see what your body is capable of with enough mindset, motivation and follow through.
If you’ve got a fitness lover on your list OR you’re thinking of ramping up your workout tendencies, this guide is going to make your holiday shopping feel like a total win. I rounded up a handful of the essentials I actually use, some splurge worthy items that make for perfect holiday gifts to ask for and of course a few fun little extras to make workouts feel a bit more exciting. From stylish activewear and gear that keeps up with every routine to recovery tools, smart tech and wellness goodies, this lineup is packed with ideas that motivate, inspire and bring a little joy to those early morning workouts and post-pilates stretch sessions. Whether you’re a gym regular, a silver sneaker walker, a full out marathon runner, or a “I’ll do yoga if it’s cute” type of friend, there’s something here that’ll make the holiday extra happy.
Case in point, let’ chat about this monochromatic moment with one of my go-to colorways of the current season… everything Burgundy from Lululemon. This Lululemon burgundy Swiftly Tech Cropped Long-Sleeve Shirt [wearing size 6] is a statement long sleeve style for the gym when it’s cold outside and makes a great layering essential for everyday as well. If you’re not a cropped fan, you can totally snag the standardl length, too. Moving onto the leggings, these Wunder Train High-Rise Crops [wearing size 4] are equal parts cute and functional = supportive, breathable and ready for any workout with the impressive compression styling. The color is stunning in person and feels just festive enough for the season. It’s one of those sets that makes you feel put-together the second you slip it on, but it’s ready for beast mode at the same time!
Want to look the part at the gym, but be ready to run those everyday errands at in one ensemble?? These two classics are ALWAYS a yes in my book! The iconic Spanx BootyBoost Black Leggings [wearing size XS] paired with an Amazon Cropped Puffer Vest [wearing size small] are always an easy + effortless duo to adore. The leggings give that sleek, sculpted look we all love, and the vest adds the perfect pop of texture and warmth. It’s effortless, flattering and ideal for busy days on the move. And a classic + clean Ribbed White Tee [wearing small, runs smaller so size up] does the work with its versatile styling so you don’t have to. P.S. don’t forget to scoop up my go-to Grande Fanny Bag as well = it’s 25% off this week with code HOLIDAY.
Finally, let’s not forget the GOAT of all things athleisure… this Spanx AirEssentials Set is what winter dreams are made of AND their sitewide 30% off sale this week has me racking up the orders on all the cozy we need for Christmas! My go-to styles you see me sport on the regular: the Half Zip [wearing small] and Wide Leg Pants [wearing size XS] set in the prettiest chocolate brown has been a total standout this season—super smooth, crazy comfortable and perfect for everything from school drop-off to a quick workout. The rich color feels so elevated, and the fit gives that held-in, confident vibe Spanx always nails.
Ready to shop a few more stellar workout-worthy gifts + goodies??? This roundup is jam packed for any fitness enthusiast will appreciate, no matter their vibe. I included a few cute matching sets because looking put together always gives a little extra motivation. Lululemon grip socks are a must for pilates, barre, and at-home workouts, and a walking pad is such a game changer for getting steps in during busy days. I added the Free People duffles and everyday bags everyone loves, plus On Cloud sneakers for comfy, long-lasting support. A portable blender makes smoothies on the go way too easy, and Beats are perfect for zoning in during a workout. And because aesthetics matter, I rounded it out with pretty weights worth leaving out on display and a roller for stretching, recovery, and undoing all the tension we carry around.
