It seems as if as you get older your day is more and more full. Kids, work, the house…

But it actually gets more important for you to take some time for yourself, especially since you deserve it. That’s why working out is becoming more and more popular. Some say it’s a form of meditation. Others get into it because it allows them to shop, but then stay fit because of the feel-good factor.

Either way – this fitness gear is the best to kick off your fitness routine strong (and in perfect style!)

“Meditation is an important practice to help in all aspects of our lives and is especially useful as a tool in improving our health and well-being. Meditation helps us look inward providing clear health benefits of improved memory, mood, stress tolerance, and and even decreases our chance of developing disease. As women age, the more meditation is important in helping us come into our true selves address, maintain a positive sense of self-worth, deal with major life events, and shift through all the messages we are receiving from media and advertising telling us that the aging process is bad.

Our zero-waste meditation cushions provide an intentional space to encourage a consistent daily (or almost daily!) meditation practice. Each cushion has a unique combination of colors, textures, and geometry. We source our fabrics from local fashion designers’ cutting rooms and transform them into gorgeous cushions that our customers love returning to every day for their meditation practice. Our customers remark how our cushion helps them maintain proper spinal alignment while sitting.

As we age, balance and strength diminish. ActivMotion Bars are hollow weighted exercise bars that are partially filled with ball bearings that shift dynamically within. This shifting resistance causes more stability and core muscles to work as the bar is being lifted. For anyone, this means better balance, more core strength and higher calorie burn since more muscles are working to stabilize the shifting bar. ActivMotion Bars come in different weights, and come with digital workouts with any purchase. ActivMotion Bars range in price from $99 to $159 each depending on the weight of the bar. They are proudly made in Michigan, USA.

Shauna Armitage from Rsport. Find out more about the Trifecta Multisport Capri by reading the description below or clicking on the button.

If we’re being honest with ourselves, our bodies change as we get older. Rsport’s Capri was designed by women and the unique design really highlights the fact that it was crafted with women in mind. The no-pinch waistband makes bending and moving comfortable, and the equestrian-like abrasion panels on the inner thighs will keep ladies from chafing so they can move without restraint. Incontinence is always the elephant in the room for the over 40 crowd, but that’s not an issue with the Trifecta Capri–there’s a pee pad built right in. While there are plenty more features, our favorite is the pockets! Women’s clothing could always use more pockets–activewear included.
