Recommender: Christina

Recommendation Posted July 29, 2025

I’m a school counselor and I still can’t believe I get to do this for a living, it really is the coolest job ever. I’m a proud momma of two and lately I’ve been focusing on my health and fitness so I can stay strong and healthy for my babies, to keep up with them, lift them and play with them. Fitness has become my passion because it energizes me for everything life throws at me.

When I was asked to be a Recommender I jumped at the chance and naturally gravitated toward fitness gear since that’s been my focus lately. Outside of school and my workouts you’ll often find us at the ballfield cheering on my husband, who is a college baseball coach, at my kids’ activities or simply relaxing in the backyard with my family. I hope you enjoy these picks as much as I do, they’re all part of my everyday routine.

Christina’s Recommendations

  • Favorite Workout Tank

    Favorite Workout Tank

    Before this tank, I never understood people who had an item "in multiple colors". Well…now I get it. I love this workout tank so much, absorbs sweat like a pro, no need for a stupid sports bra, it's already built in. I also run in it and for smaller busts, I can say it's supportive. Anyways, you need it…and once you buy one. You'll likely go back for more colors so you have one for every day of the week for your workouts! (That's what happened to me LOL)

  • Ancient Nutrition Multi-Collagen Protein

    Ancient Nutrition Multi Collagen Protein Powder

    I start my day, every day, with this in my coffee. I buy the unflavored. I froth a couple tablespoons of half and half with a scoop of this, pour my coffee over (it's like a latte) then sprinkle cinnamon and drizzle honey on top. It's AMAZING; it has 20g collagen per 2 scoops. I get a head start on my protein in the morning, and this product has helped my hair and nails significantly!! I cannot recommend it more.

  • Bob Jogging Stroller

    Bob Jogging Stroller

    I have this stroller, but not the newest model because I bought it years ago. It's a game-changer for active mommas. I am not a super fast runner, so that may have to do with it. But it has gotten me through runs with both of my kids because there were times when I'd strap Maysa to me and put Wilder in this to jog/walk.

    It may seem steep, but it's better than a vehicle investment because you get a ton of use/life out of it, and when your kids outgrow it, you can still sell it for a great price! I'm all about buying used when you can, or buying knowing you'll sell it when you outgrow it.

    The suspension on this bad boy is great on hills, mountains, rocky paths, you name it. And it can lay all the way back for when they fall asleep in it—hallelujah! Folds super easy to be compact in the back of the car. It's worth it... trust me.

  • CAROTE Nonstick Omelette Pan

    CAROTE Nonstick Omelette Pan

    For those who meal prep: this pan is a GAME CHANGER!! It's easy to use and even easier to CLEAN.

  • High-Powered Frother

    High-Powered Frother

    This is frother I use! It has 3 different speeds and I've given as a gift to other friends who are coffee snobs, like me!

  • Alani Pre-Workout

    Alani Pre-Workout

    I typically workout every day but Sunday. If I'm not using this as a pre-workout, I drink an Accelerator (which I will also link my fav flavor). This is my favorite flavor of the powder pre-workout by Alani. They also have Cherry sticks that I love on the go!

  • Accelerator Energy Drink

    Accelerator Energy Drink

    I’ll be honest—do I know Alani and these energy drinks aren’t the best thing to drink? Duh. But I’m a tired mom, and I need a quick boost to jump into my workout. Once I’m awake, I’m in it! And these help me.

    Plus, if you’re trying to work out in a calorie deficit, both of these options are like 10 calories. And delish. You’re welcome!

  • Preworkout Shakers

    Preworkout Shakers

    These are the exact bottles I use. Great seal, easy to clean, low price. Perfect for my preworkout or protein shakes!

  • Booty Bands

    Booty Bands

    I actually bought another set of these, so I can keep one set in my at home gym, a couple in my car for when I workout on the road or another facility, and one in my office! During the school year, typically I do 3 of my workouts for the week on my lunch break so I like to have these on hand! There are also amazing workout videos on YouTube who teach you to use these for all parts of your body, not just booty! I love love LOVE them. Great grip even when I'm drowning in sweat.

  • Love handle magnetic phone loop

    Love Handle Magnetic Phone Loop

    This may not seem like a fitness gadget, but it is! Obviously it's great for regular phone use, but the loop on the back is magnetic - when I'm in the weight room, I literally just stick my phone where ever I want nearby so I can review my workout notes, change music, etc! It's amazing and sticks to anything so it's also great for times pics 🤭

  • Weight Rack

    Weight Rack

    Amazon no longer sells the weight rack I got for my garage last year, but this is the exact same; maybe just a different seller. It holds all my gear, speaker, disinfectant wipes, I love it! Doesn't take up much space either so it's so handy. Oh! Also the wheels are one of my favorite parts because I sometimes move to different places in my garage to workout.

  • Easy install floor mat

    Easy Install Floor Mat

    These are the exact mats I put down in one side of my garage for floor workouts! Easy to put together, easy to clean, they were perfect for what I needed.

  • Rubber Wedding Rings

    Rubber Wedding Rings

    This is my exact set! This brand has lots of different options, but in the summer when I am lifting every day - I don't have the brain capacity to switch on off from my wedding rings and I was getting baddddd calluses. So now I wear these 90% of the time and I won't lie - they're so comfy it feels like I'm wearing nothing! Which is great for workouts, but then when I put on my regular wedding rings, it's not as comfy, I won't lie 🤣

  • Ibotta

    Ibotta Money Saver

    If you want help with your Amazon shopping, say no more. The easiest way to make cash back: link your grocery accounts and get cash back on every purchase. I easily get one $25 Amazon gift card a month just buy doing my online grocery orders through Ibotta!
