Fall Favorites: Workout Essentials I'm Loving This Season
As the leaves start to turn, it's the perfect time to refresh your gym gear. Here are my top workout essentials for fall 2024:
Best Gym Shoe (crosstraining)
New Balance Fresh Foam Arishi v4
The New Balance resurgence in 2024 is no joke! I’ve been a fan since high school, and their latest offerings continue to impress. The Fresh Foam Arishi v4 is my go-to for cross-training. The cushioning provides comfort without compromising stability, making it ideal for almost any workout.
Best Water Bottle
It’s fall favorites not fall originals okay!? Let’s be honest—it’s a fan favorite for a reason. The Owala FreeSip fully seals, so you can toss it in your gym bag without worrying about leaks. While it may not be revolutionary, it’s a reliable essential that keeps your gym clothes dry. For that, we live, laugh, love the Owala.
Best Gym Snack
Mezcla Japanese Matcha Vanilla Protein Bar
Gluten-free, vegan, and packing 10 grams of protein, the Mezcla Japanese Matcha Vanilla Protein Bar is a must-have. The matcha vanilla flavor is my top pick, but the Mexican hot chocolate flavor is a close second.
Favorite Gym Exercise
2024 is all about building a strong upper body, and the assisted pull-up is a game-changer. Whether you’re new to pull-ups or looking to increase your reps, this exercise is easily adjustable to your needs. Pro Tip: The higher the weight on the machine, the easier the pull-up. As you progress, lower the weight to increase the challenge.
