The perfect pair of leggings can really make you want to get up and get moving. I love the Aerie OFFLINE Hip Gloss Super Shine High-Waisted Leggings because they are super high waisted and the tall waistband adds extra compression & support. Not to mention they come in tons of fun colors and patterns, in a range of sizes from XXS to XXL, short, regular and long leg lengths! They are made from recycled polyester, which makes them totally opaque and great for sweat-wicking and support, whether you’re working out or just hanging out!

2 Women's Tree Dashers Sneakers

$125.00

One of the most important things to ensuring you get a quality workout is making sure you have the right support on your feet. Of all the sneakers we put through test runs this year, Allbird’s Tree Dashers were our faves! Their sustainable, cushy midsole (which is made out of sugar cane!) makes it the ideal running shoe, but they are so cute they might just become your favorite everyday sneaker! Bonus: they are machine washable! Just be sure you skip the dryer and let them air dry.

3 Full Body Resistance Loop

Working out from home can be hard, and some equipment, like resistance bands can be intimidating, but Halle Berry is changing the game with the Re-spin Full-Body Resistance Loop. You can get a full body workout for under $20 by utilizing different loops and grips. I even got to try a workout with Halle and her trainer Peter Lee Thomas – and trust me, Halle looks so amazing we should all be trying what she’s doing!

Plus, it’s also waterproof, has built-in UPF 50+ sun protection, and is coated with an antimicrobial treatment to keep the mask fresh inside.

What are nutrients?

Food provides a range of different nutrients. Some nutrients provide energy, while others are essential for growth and maintenance of the body.  Carbohydrate, protein and fat are macronutrients that we need to eat in relatively large amounts in the diet as they provide our bodies with energy and also the building blocks for growth and maintenance of a healthy body. Vitamins and minerals are micronutrients which are only needed in small amounts, but are essential to keep us healthy. There are also some food components that are not strictly ‘nutrients’ but are important for health, such as water and fibre. Most people should be able to get all the nutrients they need by eating a healthy, varied diet, although there are a few exceptions.
