Every busy girl knows that making your fitness routine a priority is easier said than done. From balancing career, family, friends and any other passion projects, I’m sure we can all agree that sometimes life just gets in the way of our daily workouts.

At the same time, I find that once I’m on a roll and seeing even the slightest results, it’s easy to keep going. I feel better, my jeans fit more comfortably (thank God!), and I just generally have a better outlook on life. In the spirit of a fall fitness reboot, I’ve teamed up with Dove to share the workout essentials that I’m relying on to kickstart my health and wellness routine this season.

The Coordinating Workout Outfit

Ok, I know this is a bit cheesy, but the matchy-matchy workout sets that are trending at the moment have my name all over them. When I feel put together, I perform so much better in whatever ClassPass class I’m dragging myself to each morning. And the best part? Some of my favorite workout ensembles are from Forever 21, like this one!

The Carry-All Bag

Warning: do not look inside this bag. It may be chic from the outside, but I typically stuff everything but the kitchen sink inside. From a change of clothes for the office to my lunch and beyond, it’s so crucial for me to have a large, carry-all bag.

The Workout Essentials

First and foremost, never go to the gym without deodorant, unless you want to loose all of your workout partners instantly. I have been a longtime user of Dove Advanced Care Antiperspirant. With 48 hours of odor and wetness protection, it keeps me feeling fresh through my workout and whatever else my day entails. It also provides skincare benefits with its NutriumMoisture formula for softer, smoother underarms. Of course, I would never hit the gym without water, a killer playlist and a juice to reboot afterwards.

The Lightweight Jacket

A cool piece of outerwear is the key to wearing your gym look for errands or brunch after your sweat sesh. Swap out your standard sweatshirt or oversized sweater for something a bit more tailored, like a jean jacket or a moto-inspired leather jacket.

The Sneakers

As someone who loves a variety of high intensity workouts—especially boxing and dance cardio—supportive (yet chic) footwear is key. I recently purchased these sneakers and am absolutely loving how comfortable they are so far.

What are your must-have items for staying motivated for the gym? I would love to hear!

A special thank you to Dove and Simply Stylist for partnering on this post. And as always, thank you for supporting all a-listed partnerships!
