One of the big Intentions I set for 2023 was getting back into a consistent exercise routine. When I get overwhelmed or my household is sick or very busy, Self Care is the first thing to go for me. I always relegate myself to the lowest on the priority list. Especially when it comes to exercise! I’ve noticed over the years that regular exercise makes me feel stronger both physically and mentally and that getting those endorphins up and running regularly really does help me support my mental wellness.

As I spoke about a bit on Instagram, I really haven’t been feeling my best the last couple of months, and I’ve allowed my excuses for it to go on too long. It’s time for me to commit to nurturing MYSELF again, and one mainstay of that is exercise! So what’s my plan? For me, committing to exercise is easiest when I know I’m going to vary my schedule with a few different modalities. I just got a Tonal, and I’ve been loving that. It’s really nice to have a weights-based program to help make me stronger. I also love Melissa Wood Health workouts, because they can be done anywhere, and I can even do them first thing in the morning in my pajamas! I’ve also started tennis lessons again after putting down the racket for TWENTY YEARS. Gah! It’s been so fun to push myself again and to see how much muscle memory comes back. I even love walks outdoors or hikes in my town to get that heart pumping. Sometimes simple is best. Overall, my goal is to get some form of exercise 5x a week, which is a major improvement on my ZERO exercise I had been getting in recent months.

I thought it would be a great time to share some of my favorite activewear pieces that I’ve been loving! I included pieces that go with all the activities that I love. Let me know which ones are your favorites!
