Today is March 1st! Can you believe that? Not only is it the start of a new month, but it’s also the start of a new challenge for Travis and I. We have decided to not buy anything that is not a necessity for the month.  Because we are both addicted to Amazon Prime, this may be a challenge to us.  We are mainly doing this so that we can feel more secure with our money moving toward summer.  Neither of us are guaranteed an income of any sort over the summer, so we are trying to get as much money saved up as possible.

While we are saving, can you please shop for me? haha I will live vicariously through you all! You can even shop some of my favorite products! Seriously, though.  I’ve decided to give you all a look inside of my favorite things.  I’ll break it down by categories to make it easier for you all haha.  I have grown to rely on all of these products, and am curious to see if any of you do, too!

Injury Prevention

Foot Rubz Massage Ball – helps loosen up the pain in my feet! And for that price, totally worth it!

Gurin Massage Roller Stick – not only is it a pretty blue, it helps to get the tiny knots my roller can’t always pinpoint.  And it’s easily portable.

Tommie Copper Compression Tights – SERIOUSLY the best things ever.  They make my entire length of my legs feel so much looser.

ACE Reusable Cold Compress – the best way to ice sore muscles! It’s flexible, stays cold for long, and doesn’t drip down your leg! haha

Swimming

Speedo Women’s Vanquisher Swim Goggle – just ask my mom, I’ve gone through about 100 pairs of these goggles, and I will never wear another type as long as I live.  I LOVE them.  And I definitely take advantage of the tinted lenses for outside swimming and lighter lenses for inside.  Plus I always had my “special” blue race pair that made my eyes bulge out of my head.  But at least my goggles stayed on during races! P.S. the blue racers are below!

Speedo Pull Buoy – only the girliest pull buoy ever made! And always good for a nice arm workout!

Suave Kids Detangling Spray – I admit it.  I use children’s apple scented detangler after swimming when I have somewhere to go right away and don’t have enough time to fully pamper myself.

Running

Garmin Forerunner 305 GPS Receiver With Heart Rate Monitor – fairly self-explanatory.  And I use this for cycling, too!

Philips Flexible Earhook Headphones – cheap headphones that actually stay on my ears.  I don’t feel so bad when I lose them, or step on them

Cycling

Kinetic Indoor Bicycle Trainer – the BEST trainer for indoor cycling in the winter and bad weather…or just when I want to watch TV!

Camelbak Podium Big Chill – between Travis and I, there are a LOT of these around!

Pearl Izumi Women’s Sugar Cycling 3/4 Tights – FAVORITE cycling bottoms ever! I am totally a capri workout girl 

Topeak Joe Blow Sport II Floor Pump – perfect to get all of the pressure our bikes require!

While these aren’t ALL of the products I use regularly, these are the majority of them.  Especially with swimming, it took years for me to figure out what works for me, and there’s no way I’ll stop using them now!

Do you have any must-use products?

Do you use any of the same things I do?
