When my friends and I get a chance to connect, we seem to always talk about momming hard. Going for it, each and every day. We live our lives constantly on the go – from the sprint of getting to school in the morning, to walking the dog, running errands- which always seems like a vacation when you only have one child with you, to exploring new places on the weekends – we rarely stop moving. From AM to PM, I’m left standing on my feet kept constantly on my toes… and I need the comfort and ability to move within the parameters my life gives me.
Fitness
Fitness has always been a really big part of my life, but with it now also being my job, I often find myself caught between needing to be ready for work and wanting to look (and feel) put together.
My faves to staying nicely nestled in between fit mom and fierce business woman are in the details.
Bottoms that move + show:
Having leggings that fit well are key to me feeling good both in my workouts and out and about. Graphic illustrations, quilting, mesh cut-outs, and distressed detailing are all features that add some more stylish elements to your workout wardrobe. My favorite trend are sheer panels. They turn heads and while the leggings keep me warm, they also keep me cool while getting my actual sweat on! What’s more motivating than looking good while feeling good?
Cut-outs:
Cut outs in my shirts add some flair and attraction to some of my favorite features- my shoulders and back. Paired with a colorful sports bra, these shirts are both beautiful and functional- allowing for warmth on the arms and torso and ventilation during workouts. These shirts have a bit of a flow to them, for ample movement, whether picking up my kids or a barbell. Feeling good never looked so good!
The perfect shoe:
My newest love is a cloud, more aptly known as The Reebok CloudRide DMX. They have a unique, patented, moving air technology- the perfect pair to add to my other Reebok DMX shoes. These are a real treat to wear all day because of the lightweight, flexible sole. It’s made of encapsulated air that provides a literal cloud feeling- like my feet never touch the ground. Way more comfy than the typical sneaker, which is a foam, not air, sole. Nothing better than walking on a heavenly cloud, right? Best part? They come with a 30 day, money-back, guarantee!
I love the crisp white! It adds a perfect pop to any outfit, from spandex to denim, but I am definitely ordering a black pair for the Winter from Famous Footwear (you can get them in some local retailers- but call ahead!)
Glass:
Yes, your water vessel can be the perfect accessory for your outfit. Of course staying hydrated is important, for both beauty and function, but the right container can make all the difference. I keep glass with me because of all the designs and styles they come in now. Sleeves and even the glass are colorful, and come in tons of geometric arrangements.
The different lids are perfect to customize to your activity, too. Around town? I prefer a straw for easy sipping. During a workout? Give me a flip lid and wide mouth- I need ALL the water. Grab that water, add some bright berries for antioxidants and color, match it up with your clean, glass, bottle, and give your body and beauty a boost!
Write it down:
My favorite accessory is always a good list. Without having my to-do list, or what I’ve dubbed my Daily Goals Chart, I would derail by 9am every single day. Writing down what’s what in my favorite planner is KEY to a successful day! I feel most put together when I am together, so whether you plan in an hourly schedule or by day, skip that weekly plan and get more focused. That laser vision will carry you through everything, from momming hard to torching calories!
What are your secrets to staying on track, comfortable and stylish in your active lifestyle?

Having a good pair of shoes makes the differences. I often know when it’s time to switch them out as my knees and ankles start hurting

That’s the worst- but I know what you mean!
Terry says
It has taken me a long time to find the perfect shoe for my feet. Actually I have found two different brands that work well for me. Now that I found them…. I buy a lot of them. I must have 7 or more pair of one of the brands.
Chelley @ A is for Adelaide says
When you find what works, buy in bulk! Always works for me, too!

Michelle Mink says
My friend and I both are searching for new running shoes and I have got to try the Reebok Cloud Ride because they look comfy and I love the color. As far as athletic or exercise attire goes I have been interested in checking out Fabletics.

These are great for everyday and walking- you will love them!

I agree that part of a great fitness regimen includes having the best gear we can afford. It gets us in the right mood for a great workkouut.
