A question was posed in one of my challenge groups lately and the answers got me thinking so I thought I’d take it to a larger scale…
“I can’t workout without my ___________”
Now listen - contrary to popular belief I do NOT wake up everyday dying to workout. Shocker - I know!
There are some days I need a little extra enticing so here is my list for things I can NOT workout without, and I would LOVE to hear how you fill in the blank!
Spotify - Whether I’m instructing or sweating at home, tunes are a MUST. Are you on Spotify? If so you can find me at bcullenparker! Let’s share the music love <3
Matte - I am a sweaty pig who loves herself some planks and down dogs so I need a matte that can not only stay in place but is cushiony and can keep my grip. Lulu answered my prayers. I have the jeweled magenta - so cute!
Water - My friend (and coach) hooked me up with an IconIQ and I’m in love. I’m a weirdo and I despise warm water. This bottle keeps your water cold for up to 12 hours. #winning
Headband - I NEVER do my hair. I repeat. I NEVER do my hair. Headbands are my BFF. I wear them in the studio, at home and probably every day even when I’m not working out (oops #momlife). As much as I love headbands I HATE the line they leave. Fitness Fox Headbands have saved my life so in return I give them all my money haha. The patterns are SUPER cute and always changing. ***If you want to try use code BeckyP and get 2 FREE when you buy 4***
Nursing Sports Bra - My first nursing SPORTS bra was gifted to me (Thanks J <3) it's called Coobie and it is AMAZING. I never want to take it off! Take a second - where my nursing moms at? Trying to nurse in a real sports bra is legit a scene from a movie. I end up knocking myself out and tearing seams.
Fun Workout Gear - There is NOTHING that can make you work harder than a cute outfit. I’m currently in between sizes, thanks to the most adorable nugget who made me a Mama X2, but a STAPLE in my wardrobe is the Wunder Under - high waisted pant. I can say this because Mr.Parker will never read this. I probably have 8 pairs of black ones and sporadic patterns. When you know you JUST KNOW - they are SO worth the investment.
Friends - Extra accountability and nothing beats Fit Dates ESPECIALLY with a glass of vino after (I know coach of the year #balance)
Shake-O - Obviously. You can drink Shakeology at ANY time during the day BUT for me I always try to save it post workout. It’s my healthy reward for getting my sweat on and also my favorite part of the day #truth
So let’s hear from you - what can you not live without?
