Fall is my favorite time to get fit.
The debauchery of summer (travel, boozy happy hours, no morning alarm…) is over and it’s time to buckle down and focus on healthy living. That means different things for different people. It might mean trying new workouts, getting inspired by new gear or apparel, adding in a new supplement or self-care. We’ve curated a list of inspiration to get fit for fall! Ready, set, go!

Nani Swimwear
We love getting fit in the water, whether it’s lap swimming or water aerobics, or simply getting some vitamin D in the Texas heat. Nani Swimwear understands that not every woman has an interest in wearing a skimpy bikini so their “made for movement” swimwear is both flattering and functional in the best designs and fabrics. Our favorites are the Resort Stripe, the Honeysuckle, the Americana and the Pure Zen. $80
JJwinks Slumber Party Top & Happy Hour Pant
After a full day of movement, it’s luscious to crawl into comfy clothes and relax. Made of buttery fabric, the Slumber Party Top paired with the Happy Hour Pant is seriously the most comfy relaxation “fit” you will look forward to putting on at the end of every day! After a good workout, shower and climb into these to work at home, cook dinner or even for a good night’s rest. $69/$65
Balega Socks from Fleet Feet 
I found out recently that I shouldn’t have been running in cotton socks. (Like I’ve done for 44 years!) I slipped these colorful Balega socks on my feet and was immediately swooning over the comfort. Their wicking fabric keeps my feet feeling cool and light throughout my workout. Choose from a variety of fun and bright colors. $13-$18
Best Buy’s ION Boombox Deluxe Bluetooth Speaker
Every good workout needs pumpin’ music! We absolutely love that Best Buy and ION are bringing back the boombox with this bluetooth speaker—-it takes us back to the ‘80s. This baby blends the best of old and new, equipped with streaming capabilities, AM/FM radio, a long lasting rechargeable battery and a stereo cassette system for all those old tapes in your collection. (A little Salt-N-Pepa for your workout, anyone?) Take your boombox in the backyard and build your own circuit training workout for the best dance party workout. $119
Hiplok Z LOK
One way I love to combine fitness with fun is to cycle downtown; but you must lock up your bike while dining. The Z LOK is a handy new way to avoid lugging around a heavy lock. Small enough to fit in your pocket and structured as a reusable zip tie, this product is an easy and affordable way to protect your bike against theft whenever and wherever. $11.99-19.99

I blend it with water, almond milk and crushed ice for a smoothie shake. $65
