{GUEST POST} It's Easy Being Green In Workout Clothes. Sorry, Kermit, You're Wrong.

Please join us in giving a big *round of applause* to today's oh-so-fabulous fitness fashion guest blogger, Bianca Jade of MizzFIT.com.  A “fitness couturess,” coach and trend expert, Bianca says that "when it comes to eco-friendly fitness apparel and accessories, there are so many options and styles to choose from." Below Bianca tells us "how to Style Up 2 Shape Up with environmentally conscious fitness brands that merge fashion and fitness without compromise."  

GREEN TIMES UPON US 

America's favorite frog once said, "It ain't easy being green." If only poor Kermit could see how times have changed. When it comes to eco-friendly fitness apparel and accessories, there are many options and different styles to choose from. Going green for fitness couldn’t be easier. 

When Well to Do asked me to share my top eco-fitness-couture picks with all of you, I was thrilled and began my hunt for the greenest of green fitness trends. Check out my favorites below and consider jumping on the green bandwagon. I mean, why the heck not? It's not like you have to compromise on style. Plus, these apparel and accessory items don't cost that much more (and in some cases even less) than non-green items. It's good to be conscientious. We do it with the food we put in our bodies. Why not do it with the clothes we put on our backs? At the very least, do it for Kermy. Do that scrawny frog proud. 

GREENIFY YOUR GYM GETUP 

1) Begin the greenification process by choosing a Kalyx Sports Bra. My favorite style is made for yoga but that doesn't matter; I'd rock this sports bra for any kind of fitness activity. It has a racer-back which is great for support and free motion. I'm loving this bra for its sexy low cut and built-in cups. A little "shaping" and "enhancing" can't do a girl wrong. And you'll be happy to know that it's made from at least 35% recycled fibers. 

2) Now that you've got good cleavage, time to add an edgy fitness top. I adore this Adidas Sleek Logo Tank for it's curve-hugging feminine fit and asymmetrical zipper detail which you can self-style open or closed. It's made with organic cotton and a glossy Trefoil print.

3) Put on some pants! I guarantee you won't find a softer pair than Green Apple Active's Fitted Yoga Flare Pant. I discovered this brand at a fitness convention and I have to admit that I bought two pairs of them: 1 for workout and 1 for pajama-loungin'. Made with a lightweight bamboo support jersey, they're seriously silky and super flattering against your skin.

4) Get rollin' but don't forget to cover up with this NYC cult favorite, the Roli Hoodie, from C.Marchuska. It's made of a sustainable blend of 92% bamboo viscose and 8% spandex.

5) Never last and never least, your feet deserve some green love too. The Evo Running Shoe by Terra Plana is the way to go. It's a stylish minimalist shoe with an ultra thin puncture resistant sole that offers maximum sensory feedback and maximum protection. Why do you need that? Because most likely you have bad running form or underdeveloped foot muscles from wearing over-cushioned and restricting sport shoes your entire life. The Evo is 100% vegan and made from recycled materials.

6) Your gear should be as fashionable as your outfit. 2 staples that I recommend for shaping up are the Zobha Manduka EkoLite Yoga Mat and the Mini-Core Ball by Natural Fitness. They're amazing because they're both travel-friendly and made for core strengthening/balancing exercises. The Zobha Manduka Mat is made of natural tree rubber while the Mini-Core Ball is made from non-toxic, phthalate free material.

7) Pack it up in the Everything Fits Bag by Gaiam, made from 100% recycled polyester. This gym bag is a gem because is has a vented outside compartment to hold stinky shoes and sweaty items that you might not want to mix with your valuables. Plus, there's plenty of room inside for a Yogitoes Sweatless Towel, an outer pocket for an eco-chic filtered water Bobble, and even bottom adjustable straps to hold your yoga mat (like the one mentioned above). Now, isn't that convenient? Why yes it is. See...being green is a cinch!

TIP ME TUESDAY {GUEST POST}: GET FIT. STAY FIT.

Today's post comes to us from Jane Couto of Mom Generations. A freelance writer, copywriter, editor and blogger, Jane is a graduate of Brown University {though, she spent a year at Bowdoin College which is where she met Suz} and lives in Rhode Island. Lucky for us her expertise includes health and fitness {not to mention boat loads of other things such as running, relationships and social media, for example}.



Says Jane...


Resolutions: it seems we can’t begin a new year without them. On television, in magazines, on blogs, at holiday parties… everyone wants to know what you will change in the coming year.


Fitness goals usually top people’s lists, of course.


But fast-forward a few weeks into the new year and many people already have a laundry list of excuses as to why they haven’t stuck to their resolutions.


It’s true that family, friends, work, activities – you know, life in general – can take up so much time that it seems there’s no room to fit another thing in. But there are ways to turn fitness resolutions into long-term reality, and here are a few tips to help make that happen:

• HOLD YOURSELF ACCOUNTABLE, whether this means weighing yourself regularly, keeping a food log or joining an organized weight loss program. You can also enlist the help of family and friends you trust; tell them your goals and permit them to ask you how things are going periodically. Of if you’re really brave, you can share your intentions with the world via Facebook or a blog and track your progress publicly {with help from the popular Daily Mile, for example}. The bottom line is: if you don’t have some way to check in on your progress, it will be easier to let things slide.

Jane and her mother, Sharon Couto

• GET A BUDDY. After a year and a half of intense triathlon training, I hit a bit of an exercise rut a few months ago. I found I had lost my drive and instead of looking forward to workouts, I began dreading them. Enlisting my mom as my running buddy really helped me out. Working out became enjoyable again – we talk, we laugh and we motivate each other while we run. Having a workout and/or healthy eating partner will help keep your routine fun and fresh while you work to reach your goals.

 "Going to the Boston Marathon!"

• TRY SOMETHING DIFFERENT. I compete in triathlons, so I do a lot of swimming, biking and running. Having some diversity keeps things from getting mundane, but every once in a while I still like to mix it up. I’ll try a kickboxing, step or weights class at the gym just to sneak something new into my exercise regimen. Adding a little variety is sure to keep you excited about working out over time.

• REWARD YOURSELF. Making the most of your healthy living victories will inspire you to keep working toward your bigger goal(s). When you hit a milestone, book a massage, make a reservation at your favorite restaurant or purchase those cute earrings you’ve been eying on Etsy. When you stay committed to your goals, rewarding yourself for a job well done is only fair!


Good luck!
Jane
