FIT & FUN
Ditch The Gym For The Great Outdoors
The season of fun in the sun is here, and we’re sure you’re just as excited to get outdoors. In other words, let’s spend less time in the gym and more time on the trails, in the parks, and in the water! If you’re like me, you’re looking to refresh your summer fitness supplies. However, this year, I’m challenging myself to include not just the usual clothes and kicks, but also nutrition and hydration. So, join me and enjoy all the running, hiking, cycling, boating, walking, and summer fitness fun.
SUMMER FITNESS BEGINS HERE
Start your summer fitness planning with an understanding of what your body needs. The Full Body Intelligence™ Test from Viome provides results and recommendations based on over 50 tests, including digestion, cellular health, brain & cognitive function, heart health, immunity, and resilience to stress.

SUMMER SPIN
There’s no better way to forget you’re exercising than cruising around on a bike. Electra Bikes offers a whole flight of summertime fun – traditional an e-bikes alike. The Loft Go! 7D is a comfortable e-bike designed for commutes or sunny fun-day spins. Info: electra.trekbikes.com
MINIMALIST PACK POWER
The folks at Gregory Packs make this Tempo 6 H2O, which is perfect for cycling, hiking, or any time you need a pack just big enough to hold water, without extra bulky weight. Plus, it’s insulated to keep water chill, even on hot days. Info: gregorypacks.com
EASY ELECTROLYTES HYDRATION
We need electrolytes to absorb water, and this is especially important on sizzling summer days. If you’re planning a more intense workout, Essential Elements® Hydration will be your humidity hero. Bonus points for its vitamin C to help support the digestion of its nutritional components. Info: essentialelementsnutrition.com
FOR THE SUMMER MOMMAS
Love & Fit caters to nursing moms—and beyond. The brand specializes in hands-free pumping sports bras, so your summer on-the-go just got a little easier. And due to customer demand, they just launched a contemporary traditional line of leggings and sports bras as well.

SAUCONY + SUMMER
Those looking for an all-around fitness sneaker can’t go wrong with Saucony’s Freedom Crossport—available for men and women. Its proprietary foam cushioning is designed to transition from runs to the gym and everything in between—all with smooth stability. Info: saucony.com
WORKOUT WITH LEGENDS
Trusted by top athletes Marcus and Markieff Morris, Matt Barnes, Noah Syndergaard, and more, Legends workout gear is built for your toughest cardio days. These Luka shorts have antimicrobial tech fabric, four-way stretch, and a built-in liner with secret cell pocket. Info: legends.com
STASH THESE EVERYWHERE
Sure, I always do my best to keep bugs at bay, but I usually end up with a welt or two, regardless. I love the idea of keeping All Better Co.’s tea tree oil anti-itch patches and pens stashed away in totes, cars, and night stands for when the inevitable itch rears its ugly head.

REAL-LIFE APPROVED
I’m not sure why the workout gods made us wait so long, but Third Love has granted our wishes. The Kinetic Adjustable Sports Bra offers real-life wireless support, no-slip bands, adjusted straps, and the ever elusive – separation.

SUMMER SAILING AND BEYOND
The Icebreker Cool-Lite™ Hoodie is a must this season. Made from an ultra-thin merino jersey fabric, it wicks moisture away from the skin. The black, shown here, hides dust or dirt from cycling or running sessions, but the yellow is perfect for longs days on the sailboat.

DON’T FORGET THE ICE
Summer activities just got better with ice—whether it’s a day of beach volleyball or an afternoon at the tennis club. Ice Mule R-Jaunt Coolers are insulated backpack-style coolers made from recycled PET plastics. The hands-free design makes it easy to manage—even with kiddos and pets in tow. Info: icemulecoolers.com
CUSTOM PROBIOTICS
Working out—on its own—won’t create optimum health. For that, you’ll need to look inward as well, and best start with the gut. Floré creates customized probiotics, specific to your at-home test results. You can improve your immunity, increase food tolerance, and relieve digestion issues. That, with regular exercise, makes for a sensational summer! Info: flore.com
