I can't workout without my ___________

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?
