One thing that I currently should have in my trainer tool kit is the Lebert Stretch Straps. Especially now that they are in pink! I definitely need to add these to my toolbox! Marc is a great friend and even helped me on my journey to get to the Maccabiah Games as a coach!
Check out the stretch straps in pink:
You can get them here: http://
I am definitely loving the Nike Free Flyknit shoe! I think I need to add these to my collection. They look some comfortable and great for my cardio days in the gym. I can't wait to find a pair and try them out!
If you have tried a pair out I would love to hear about it!
Ways to wear: Nike Pro Elite Knit Capri. I love the third look. What look do you like best?
Sooooooooo this might be a controversial and touchy subject. I love this girl to death. She is Canadian and a real sweetheart. She has marketed her self in the USA very well and has even created a really popular youtube channel. Her videos are edited quite well and she is always happy and energetic.
Despite all these positives I find a negative. She is very thin. The photo below is from a recent FitnessRx interview with Amanda. She has everything you would want in a trainer, but on the downside she is a signed and working fashion model. We all know that comes with weight and body issues. She does acknowledge that she is skinny and even addresses it in a youtube video:
With all her knowledge and marketing is she really giving people a good image of what a healthy and fit trainer who motivates people for lifestyle change should look like? Thoughts?
Check out this Under Armour Video featuring. Two ACL surgeries and he never gave up on his dream. What an amazing story. Truly Inspirational.
One fashion obsession I have for the gym is headphones. I absolutely love the moster DNA headphones. You can get your own here:

I love how the come in so many color options.
Which ones are your favs?
