I will say, though, that almost all of my workouts are barre with a little bit of running. So really, my workout stuff doesn't experience a lot of wear and tear anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-favorite-workout-accessory#post-1804078 Thu, 07 Aug 2014 16:32:35 +0000 msmug 1804078@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nike dry fit shirts.. They are thin, wicks away sweat, and they are long and therefore flattering.<br /> Oh, and I love my dark gray and fluorescent orange running shoes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-favorite-workout-accessory#post-1804027 Thu, 07 Aug 2014 16:10:10 +0000 blackbird 1804027@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@grizz, saved my legs on my 5K yesterday!

I love not having to hold water/music while I run. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-favorite-workout-accessory#post-1803208 Thu, 07 Aug 2014 11:31:23 +0000 yoursilverlining 1803208@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Earbuds: Bose! I have tried several different kinds (at all price points) and the Bose ear buds are the only ones that will really securely stay in my ears while either running/spinning/whatever. You don’t need to constantly mess with them or press them back in; they just stay in. </p> <p>Clothes: I really like the Capri length workout pants from Gap. They have a nice wide band at the top which holds any muffin-top in. Their sports bras are fine; I think I prefer a Nike one I have, but the Gap ones were about $10 when on sale, so I can’t complain.</p> <p>Pandora doesn’t work in my gym, so I just use itunes. My playlist of the moment contains:</p> <p>Girls Chase Boys – Ingrid Michaelson<br /> Holding out for a Hero (Bonnie Tyler) – really great for running<br /> Mr. Saxobeat (Alexandra Stan) - *awesome* workout song, especially for spin<br /> Radioactive (Imagine Dragons)<br /> Wake Me Up (Avicii)<br /> 100% Pure Love (Crystal Waters) – really great for running<br /> Single Ladies (Beyonce)<br /> Thrift Shop (Mackelmore, remix)<br /> In da Club (50 Cent) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-favorite-workout-accessory#post-1803101 Thu, 07 Aug 2014 10:57:50 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 1803101@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Podcasts!<br /> Either a church sermon, One Bad Mother, Sawbones, or a comedy Pandora station (music makes me want to sing &amp; doesn't help me, listen to others talk distracts me enough though.)<br /> Also the Run keeper app Mrs. Bee blogged about. I love it! It helps me meet goals &amp; shows me how much I have improved. And barrebody.com.au. I LOVE her barre &amp;yoga videos. </p> <p>Money is tight here &amp; workout gear is expensive so right now I just use what I have. Old shorts, stained tank tops, cheap Walmart sports bra &amp; several year old nikes. I really need new running shoes but it is what it is. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-favorite-workout-accessory#post-1803076 Thu, 07 Aug 2014 10:47:14 +0000 avivoca 1803076@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Clothes: Running skirts from Target (they have compression shorts under them so I don't have to suffer from chub rub), Feetures Socks, Moving Comfort bras, and my running shoes (Brooks Ghost)</p> <p>Gear: My Garmin.

Great motivation!</p> <p>As far as clothes, Lulu is def my fave, worth the $$ for some staple pieces (crop leggings, tanks) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-favorite-workout-accessory#post-1803020 Thu, 07 Aug 2014 10:26:38 +0000 septca 1803020@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My iPad with the Hulu app. The only way I can motivate to get to the gym is by telling myself Scott Foley will be there...</p> <p>I am really picky about clothes.

The band doesn't roll down, which is important as my shirts tend to roll up during downward exercises like burpies.
