Nutrition

Rehydrate Drink Mix by Advocare

Take your electrolytes on the go in stick packs or a quick scoop from the canister to get in the energy you need before, during, or after a workout.
Great flavors like Red Raspberry and Melon (Coach’s favorites!) with 70% less sugar than the standard sports drinks!

Meal Replacement Shakes by Advocare

Coach’s go-to shake for a busy morning or easy mid-day meal…but she’s also been known to power charge a smoothie with a Vanilla MRS or make a scrumptious treat with a Chocolate MRS heated into tasty ‘hot chocolate’.

Spark by Advocare

When I need some focus or energy (or both!) Spark lights a fire and gets me going. Whether it’s a slow moving morning, a project that needs total attention, or a workout that needs a kick start Spark is great!
While I haven’t met a flavor that I didn’t like Blue Raspberry and Grape are my current favorites!

Meal Nutrition Bar by Advocare

While Advocare offers a variety of fantastic snack and meal bars, this Peanut Butter/Chocolate Bar is ALWAYS in stock in my home pantry and often in my book bag. It’s both filling and tasty when errands run long or I’ve got a long day but not much time to eat!

Equipment

Mini Resistance Bands Pack by Perform Better

Though they may be appear mini, they are enormous when it comes to exercise potential. Whether working on Monster Walks or Inchworms, adding Mini Resistance Bands are a great way to increase joint stability and muscle activation.

First Place SuperBands by Perform Better

Superbands are a great addition to any home gym or gym bag as they can be used for stretching, strengthening, power development, agility…the potential exercise list is endless!
I recommend having a mix; 1/2″, 3/4″, and 1″ are the ones I have a ton of…and a few 2 1/2″ for fun (lol).

PB Extreme Soft Toss Mini Medicine Ball by Perform Better

The Mini Medicine Balls are the small cousins to the standard large medicine balls which are great for smaller people, storing, and transportation. Since they are soft they are easy to catch, but still get a good bounce if slammed on the floor or wall.
I recommend having a mix depending on the size and strength of the person using them. I have 4-16# that I use for a variety of exercises.

Court Slidz by Skilz at Perform Better

The day I saw someone sliding on rubber flooring I KNEW what my next equipment purchase was going to be as this was the first one I had seen that would slide on gym flooring. Whether you are working on your core or cardio, these little sliders are a great addition to your gym bag!

Neoprene Hex Dumbbells by Perform Better

Available 1-15lbs. Neoprene coating improves grip, even when sweaty (!), and the hex shape allows for stability when doing fun exercises like Renegade Rows or when a modification is necessary for wrist issues.

Traditional Foam Roller by Perform Better

Whether activating muscles prior to a workout or helping them recover after one foam rollers are often called ‘the poor man’s massage’. Not as relaxing as a Swedish massage, but a more comfortable recovery strategy than a cold tub! (well, in my opinion…BRRR!)

Foam Roller Set on Amazon

Get everything you need to get your stretch and recovery session started with this set!

Vibrating Foam Roller by Perform Better

Interested in taking your recovery regime up a notch? Well this Vibrating Foam Roller has 3 notches you can try to really work into the deeper muscle tissue.

Aduro Sport Weighted Vest on Amazon

When you want to ramp up the intensity but dial in the level, the Aduro Sport Weighted Vest is a great way to select a resistance appropriate for your size, activity, and goal.

TRX Suspension Trainer on Amazon

With a TRX Suspension Trainer you are only limited by your imagination with this convenient ‘mobile gym’. I traveled Europe and Asia with my handy TRX Trainer when working on the Pro-Tennis Tour as they are light in weight by heavy in exercise options for elite athletes to rehab programs and client-athletes of all ages.

Stability Ball by Life Infinitely on Amazon

Stability Balls can be used for a ton of fun exercises…or simply as a chair replacement for your work desk. You’ll get a workout from pumping it up AND the endless exercises you’ll be able to do on it!
Be sure to check the size guide to make sure you get the correct ball for your height.

Yoga Starter Kit on Amazon

This kit has it all! Mat, pad, blocks, strap…even microfiber towels! You can choose the 1/2″ mat if you need a little more cushion or the standard 1/4″ mat in a variety of colors.

Resistance Bands Set by Whatafit on Amazon

Get a variety of resistance combinations with these easily labelled resistance bands that come with handles, anchors, and ankle straps!

Yoga and Balance Pad by SportLife on Amazon

While this pad is designed as a cushion it is also an excellent entry level balance pad. I use these more than any other balance trainer!

Airex Balance Pad by Airex on Amazon

If you are ready to increase your instability this is the balance pad to buy. It’s increased area is great for larger feet or body parts, but it’s increased thickness is where the real game changing happens. The Airex Balance pad is for those that are ready to progress to more challenging levels of balance exercises.
