erica’s things
Road-testing too many sports bras and landing on a low-impact and high-impact favorite—thanks for the rec on the latter, Serena Williams.
Reading the fantastic blog of a gym I don’t even belong to.
Keeping a few of these face wipes in my bag, always—for when a yoga class ends up being so much harder (read: SWEATIER) than planned and, eh, you still have a full day of work to tackle after.
Running exclusively in these glorious socks, which 1) never fall down and 2) protect your heels from chafing and blisters.
Getting in a pretty committed relationship with New York Pilates—due only partially to their stunning, airy studios. (If you think I haven’t googled for an interior-design story about that, you’re wrong—somebody get on that.)
claire’s things
Trying out all sorts of new strength-training and mobility routines and realizing that everything builds on the very same foundational moves I’ve been perfecting in Bar Method all these years. Those classes are legit, y’all.
Swiping this stuff on sore muscles with seriously impressive results.
Making myself marathon-ready with the help of Joe Holder, who keeps Nike+ Run Club and the S10 crew in top form. (Just don’t call him a #fitfluencer.)
Feeling genuinely fashionable in running shorts for maybe the first time ever.
Flipping open the MindBody app whenever I notice the weather’s going to be too atrocious for a run—makes it way easy to find and register for a class on the fly.
