While I'm a fan of reusable bottles made by Sigg, Klean Kanteen, and Nalgene, they all requite two hands to open them, which can be annoying at times. If you can relate, then check out the Intak BPA Free Hydration Bottle with Meter ($11) made by Thermos.

We can blame our sore wrists on overuse in certain exercises or too many hours at the keyboard, but there's no reason you can't continue to do some of the weight-bearing exercises that you love. Your wrists might just need a little assistance to achieve a pain-free push-up or downward dog, and that's where Wrist Assured Gloves ($70) could come in handy.
The gloves are padded in such a way that your weight is redistributed away from your wrists.

The folks over at Polar recently sent me a few heart rate monitors to test out. I liked the FT40, but I think I am in love with the FT60 ($239 including chest sensor with changeable battery). Mine is a purple-pink color, reminiscent of raspberry sorbet, so even though it is large it is still somehow feminine and I wear a bunch, even when I am not at the gym.

Since you move your body in so many different ways when practicing yoga or Pilates, you need clothes made out of material that not only moves with you, but keeps you covered no matter what. I hate when tops I have are low-cut, or if the waist on my pants is so low that people see more than they need to. If you're the same way, I just found this great new brand called Zobha that you're going to love.

I am always on the market for a new gym bag, especially since I'm not so easy on my bags and I go through them fast. I recently got my hands on the Nike Gym Club Bag ($55) and was immediately drawn to its bright colors. But this is more than just a pretty sack, it's extremely handy, too.

One of the random benefits of having house guests is getting to play with the toys they accidentally leave behind. My cousin's fiancé is working on his upper body so he can wow us all at their upcoming wedding. One of the tools in his traveling fitness arsenal is the Perfect Pushup ($40).

When I practice Yoga, I like to keep the girls in place. You know when you're in Down Dog and you notice your chest is slowing falling out of your top. Then have to stop to fix your shirt every five minutes.

Every once in a while I like to splurge on myself and get a great new workout item as a reward for all my hard work. The Splits 59 Eve Cami ($60) fits the bill for the perfect reward.
The tank has a built-in bra, though I would wear a sports bra underneath to make sure your girls are supported.

If you're an avid yoga or Pilates girl, and you want a quality mat that's good for the earth and light on your purse then check out Lotuspad mats ($40). They're made of 100-percent biodegradable TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomer), and even though this mat is 5 millimeters thick, when it's all rolled up, it feels really lightweight so it's easy to carry. It resists bacterial and fungal growth and is reversible, so you can use both sides.
