A new year always brings a little extra motivation to move our bodies and take care of ourselves! While our fitness routines look very different, staying active and feeling strong is something we both prioritize going into 2026. We’re not about extreme resolutions or all-or-nothing goals. Instead, we’re focusing on what actually works for our lifestyles and helps us feel our best!
This year, we’re sharing the fitness and wellness products that support our routines and make movement more enjoyable. From workout gear we reach for again and again to recovery and nutrition favorites we genuinely love, these are the pieces helping us stay consistent, energized, and feeling strong all year long!
Krista’s wellness routine
I’m one of those weird people who genuinely loves to work out! I loved athletics growing up, and I’ve never wavered in my fitness routine as an adult. Over the years, I’ve enjoyed running, weight training, skiing, golf, mountain biking, HIIT workouts, Peloton spin classes, yoga, and Pilates.
In recent years, however, my arthritic knee has limited my workout choices. I try to keep the mindset of being thankful for what I can do instead of dwelling on what I can’t do. I’ll be getting my knee replaced this year, but until then, my workouts mainly consist of Peloton spin workouts, yoga, Pilates, and weights.
I like to work out six days a week, and I typically train in a fasted state to burn fat rather than what I’ve just eaten. This routine has been really helpful in keeping my weight steady and helping me feel healthy and strong.
Krista’s Favorite Fitness & Wellness Products
Vuori All Around Crossbody
I’ve been on the hunt for a nice crossbody that’s not a full on fanny pack. I love the neutral color of this crossbody, the long straps, and that it holds all my essentials! Great for hikes or travel.
Women’s Air Max SC Sneaker
Comfy, neutral trainers for walks and gym workouts! You could even dress these up a little more and wear them for errands. I always get compliments on them!
Electrolyte Supreme
My favorite electrolytes! The taste is delicious and no calories! I started using electrolytes for extra hydration after a sweaty spin class. It’s a full spectrum electrolyte powder with complementary minerals and vitamins. Love!
Vuori Athletic Clothes
This is my favorite fitness brand! Everything is so soft and stylish! During the winter I’m always I reaching for my Vuori joggers and tops for walks outside and weekend lounging! Their clothes are also so great for gifting.
Theragun Mini 3rd Gen Masssage Gun
I was looking for a massage gun for my tight IT bands, and this one had great reviews! It’s a little pricey but it’s very effective! Also a great size and fits super well when I travel. I’m planning to bring it along for my upcoming golf trip to Palm Springs!
Sunwarrior Protein
The best tasting plant based protein! 17 grams of protein and only 1 net carb. I love that it’s only 90 calories and doesn’t make me feel super heavy after. The chocolate is delicious, too!
Julie’s wellness routine
Unlike Krista, I don’t love working out, but I do love the results of a consistent fitness routine. In the past, I needed the accountability of paying for a class, membership, or app subscription to stay disciplined. Now that I’m in my 50s, being fit, strong, and able to keep up with my kids and grandkids is all the motivation I need.
I’m currently loving the Faster Way to Fat Loss app workouts, which include HIIT workouts twice a week and three days of strength training. This year, I’ve also added one day of either yoga or Pilates. My goal for 2026 is to get outside more for walks and hiking. I did a pretty good job during the summer months, but I’d love to be more consistent year-round.
Julie’s Favorite Fitness & Wellness Products
Weightlifting Gloves
Wimpy weights for weightlifting gloves but oh well!😂 The gloves I’ve been using for years on weight training days, they help me have a better grip and protect hands from callouses.
BodyHealth Perfect Amino
If you struggle getting enough protein, this gives a great boost. I heard this recommended by Gary Brecka on a podcast and was fascinated by the benefits it has for muscle retention and recovery. I drink this before my morning workout so my body is fueled and my weight training is more effective. It also doesn’t break a fast if you’re intermittent fasting.
Momentous Creatine
This creatine came highly recommended as the most pure and also used by professional athletes. I started with one scoop mixed in with my Perfect Aminos and recently changed to 2 scoops for the added brain benefits when you increase to 10g daily!
Flare Leggings
I did a deep dive on flare leggings last year and these were the winners. Best smoothing, best length, and most flattering.
Also love this affordable Old Navy fleece!
Cloud 6 Sneaker
An LSW bestseller! My mom raved about these sneakers so much I had to get them for myself! So comfortable for walking, workouts, etc and I love the easy slip-on style. They come in lots of colors. I also love the pearl/white colorway!
At the end of the day, it’s all about finding a routine (and products!) that make you feel good and fit into your real life. We’re excited to keep exploring fitness and wellness this year and bringing you along for the ride!
We’d love to know what’s helping you stay active right now. Drop your favorite workouts, wellness products, or goals for 2026 in the comments! Here’s to feeling strong, energized, and confident all year long! 💪🎉
