Two of my favorite fitness routines include walking and hiking. I thought I’d share what I wear and bring with me. Let’s get back on track.
Get Active
No matter what workout routine or fitness plan you are doing I think this list of activewear will get you off to the right start! It’s time to grab your workout gear and get active! Walking is an easy way to ease back into working out. Plus, getting outdoors is good for you!
There is nothing like a new pair of buttery soft leggings. Or good-fitting sneakers and a new fitness tracker to get you motivated. It’s a new year and being healthy is so important.
What To Wear For Walking
My new outfit I got for walking and my fitness routine. I love my new leggings and layering my tops for going outdoors. Along with a few tried and true items I use all the time I am sharing!
- My favorites are the Joy Lab Leggings they have a handy pocket. I love pockets in my leggings to slide my house key or cell phone into. Do you?
Shop all the legging styles here. - This is my new sweatshirt in a rust color. Available in so many colors!
- Underneath I wear Realtree Shirt (Base layer thermal top.) It is lightweight. The features of these long-sleeve tops are they are made for running, walking, and everyday wear. Have moisture-wicking fabric with stretch. SPF 50+ Machine Wash and Tumble Dry.
- I prefer No show athletic socks. Do you?
- And these Women’s Sport Sneakers. They are great for walking, hiking, and crosstraining.
- We do a lot of coastal walks and hikes, and river trail hiking (see our list of favorite walks and hikes at the end of the post) too. We like a hiking boot like this.
- If you didn’t get a fitness tracker as a gift. You might want to check them out now!
Must-Haves For Walking And Hiking
- Bring your cell phone (fully charged). And charger for your car.
- Never forget to bring a Water bottle (These are our favorite water bottles that are BPA-free…)
- Day hike backpack or sling bag. We have both types.
- A packable windbreaker.
- My favorite lightweight, water-resistant, packable hooded puffer jacket. (You might want to size up if you want to wear bulky sweatshirts and lots of layers under the puffer jacket. I didn’t size up. They are pretty true to size.) These are great for foggy or cold days/evenings. Layering and packing into your bag for when you don’t need it. I purchased mine in navy and love it!
- Healthy snacks are great for long walks and hikes.
I’m getting a neck gaiter so I can easily slide it down when no one is around. And pull it up when I walk by people. I am also considering getting a bike like this for spring and summer.
