Hi fellow SELFy fitness lovers!
I'm Kaitlyn, the fitness team's new intern! I'm beyond excited to become a part of the SELF blogosphere and share my fitness experiences and discoveries with you along the way!
I've always loved the sense of accomplishment that comes with physical activity, be it through running, yoga, pilates, or lifting weights! But as a busy NYU student with varying day-to-day schedules, I found it nearly impossible to fall into a regular fitness routine, and sadly, my workouts came few and far in between. When every year I'd vow to go to the gym 3 times a week, my friends would just roll their eyes and laugh at me when I protested "but I will! This year is different!" Well, finally I stopped stating my goals and acted on them.
My senior year, I began to tag along with my friend to the gym and had him show me the ropes. I won't lie, at first, I felt slightly--okay, very--pathetic struggling over 10lb dumbbells while he was next to me barely breaking a sweat over far heavier weights than that. But after only a few weeks, I began to feel stronger, and instead of feeling self-conscious, I began to feel proud! I continued to go to the gym regularly, while testing out new pilates and yoga studios, and taking Saturday morning walks down the East river with my roommate.
After graduating in May and returning home for the summer, I worked with a trainer twice a week, and became an official fitness addict. I finally realized how working out really does make you feel happier and healthier (I've been back in the city for two weeks now sans a gym membership and am practically dying. Okay, that's a bit dramatic, but if you're a regular gym-goer, you know what I mean)!
So far, as an intern in the fitness department of SELF, I've gotten to test out tons of awesome fitness products and accessories. One of my favorites happens to be lululemon's new sigg om bottle.
At first sight, I fell in love with its design: lime green with the saying "I heart running" in white with a hot pink heart--seriously, how cute?!
The bottle comes in 4 fun colors (lime green, hot pink, bright blue and black) and has 4 different sayings ("I heart running," "I heart lululemon," "I heart sweat," "I heart yoga"), so whether you're a hardcore runner, devoted yogi, lover of getting nice and sweaty, or simply a lululemon fan, there is a bottle for you!
My favorite part of this bottle is its environmentally-friendly factor (very SELFy!). Rather than design a reusable plastic bottle, SIGG opted for a 100% recyclable lightweight aluminum material, leading to a leak-proof, nearly indestructible product--perfect for those of us who aren't the most graceful.
The sigg om bottle is great for someone like me who drinks bottled water constantly, but doesn't want to keep spending $1.25 each morning (it really adds up!). Plus, with these fun colors and cute sayings, these bottles will be sure to add style to your workout! So grab yourself a sigg om bottle and get moving.
Looking forward to the next few months, SELFy readers!
