As summer begins to wind down, the mornings and evenings will start to cool down and that means it’s the perfect weather for an outdoor workout! There’s something about that crisp, fresh air that really helps to motivate and inspire. And if you’re just not quite ready to share space and swap sweat at your local gym yet, let this post be your guide to everything you need for the perfect at-home fitness routine. Get all the info below.
The Equipment
Having the proper workout equipment is essential. The good thing is you really don’t need much to get a great workout in! Multifunctional pieces are definitely preferable as you’ll be able to keep your workouts versatile and effective. Adjustable dumbbells and an adjustable, portable kettlebell are really all you need for weightlifting. Bicep curls, tricep dips, squats, and deadlifts can be done with these weights to help build muscle. Resistance training will help tone and define. Use resistance bands, a balance board (this will kill your core!), and these fun workout dice to get a full body workout. Cardio training will build your endurance and boost your heart health. A stationary exercise bike or cordless jump rope will get your heart pumping and the sweat dripping…embrace it! For the full package, this all-in-one portable home gym gives you the total gym experience from the comfort of your own home.

I find myself way more motivated to workout when I have an adorable outfit to put on! And comfort is obviously key, too. Get yourself a good pair of athletic sneakers and a few staple pieces that will help you power through a powerful workout. For women, a couple cute sports bras, leggings, and joggers will get you through any workout you take on. When I’m doing intense cardio or any kind of HIIT workout, a pair of high-waisted, flexible leggings paired with a high impact sports bra is perfect. When I’m doing a more restorative yoga practice, a cozy bralette and soft joggers help me wind down and really relax into the moment. For the men, running shorts, training pants, t-shirts, and hoodies are great for running, weightlifting, or a recreational sports game.
If you can’t get enough of cute athleticwear, Fabletics has affordable and stylish fitness gear for every body and every activity. See the post here.
And if yoga is your true love (I’m right there with you), get everything you need to get your flow on. See the post here.

Ah, the great outdoors. Fresh air, forest landscapes, and fireside sing-alongs…camping, hiking, fishing, and stargazing. Getting out into the wild and appreciating nature can be so healing and renewing. So grab your s’mores ingredients and your best scary stories because we’ve rounded up all your camping and hiking essentials to help you prepare for a weekend away in the woods.
Essential Equipment
When preparing for your hiking or camping adventure it’s important to pack all the necessities. Obviously a tent, blanket, bug repellant, and survival kit are the basics. Add in cookware, a portable grill, coffee maker, water filter, and beverage holders to ensure your nutritional needs are met, and don’t forget your backpack (you can fit most of your gear in here)!
Emergency Survival Kit | Cookware Set | Outdoor Blanket | Instant Coffee Maker | Thermos | Camping Stove | Backpack | LifeStraw Water Filter | Termacell Mosquito Repellant | Tent | Insulated Water Bottle
Outdoor Apparel
Proper outdoor apparel is definitely important for a successful open-air excursion. You want to bring comfortable clothes made out of breathable and protective fabrics. Layers are a great idea as temperatures can change drastically from morning to night. Proper footwear made with good grip and waterproof materials will keep your feet cushioned, and a fanny pack is great if you need to carry important items with you but don’t want the weight of a bulky backpack.
Women’s Sweatshirt | Women’s Cargo Pants | Women’s T-shirt | Women’s Longsleeve Shirt | Women’s Camo Leggings | Women’s Boots | Women’s Hiking Sneakers | Fanny Pack | Men’s Lonsleeve Shirt | Men’s Athletic Pants | Men’s Shortsleeve | Men’s Cargo Pants | Men’s Hiking Boots | Men’s Hiking Sneakers | Baseball Cap
