Let’s be real: finding the perfect running shoe is hard. There are so many different styles out there that it’s overwhelming to pick the right one. Whenever I need to upgrade my sneaker game, I’m on the lookout for something that’s not only comfortable and well-performing for workouts, but also fashionable enough to wear on the streets for times I’m on the go.

ABS AFTER BABY: 5 HEALING PILATES MOVES
How have your abs changed & what do you need to do to repair them?
I’m the mom of two toddlers so I know how crazy life with little ones can be – the juggle is real. As a pilates instructor I know how important it is to correctly strengthen and prepare the body during pregnancy, safely reconnect and reactivate the body postpartum. I founded the online studio BodyLove Pilates as a dedicated space for strong mamas to be able to access workouts that are tailored to their exact condition, Prenatal, Postnatal and Beyond – anytime, anywhere.
PREGNANCY FITNESS
This post is a part of our baby essentials series by Monica Banks, founder of Gugu Guru – the ultimate baby registry discovery site for style-savvy moms.
During both my pregnancies, I made it a point to exercise almost every day even if it was just a brisk walk. The benefits of staying active during pregnancy seem endless – from helping with delivery and recovery to easing the common ailments of pregnancy. For example, stretching and yoga can help with aches, pains and sciatica due to pregnancy. Movement can also improve circulation, which may help to reduce swelling. Not to mention, there are health benefits for your baby in utero too!
IN THE STUDIO: BARREWORKS
Over the last few weeks and months I haven’t been able to work out as much because I felt so sick from my pregnancy. I am finally feeling well enough and am getting back on the workout train. I sent Paige to check out a new barre studio (on ClassPass) in Brentwood called Barreworks! My doctor suggested that I do more strength training.
THE BEST WAY TO HIKE
It’s a new year and it’s time to get motivated! Grab your friends and go on a hike, a walk, or a stroll! It doesn’t hurt when your hike ends with a picnic with all your favorite snacks! Hoping this rain in LA goes away so I can get back on track!
LET’S sWEat
With the new year comes new traditions, new motivations, and new commitments. Working out has always been a part of my adult life but it is during this time of year when I always reconnect to my goals. And let’s be honest, it is easier to workout when you like how you look and how you feel. It is with so much excitement that I can now introduce you to my brand new athleisure line, sWEat by Whitney Port, sold exclusively on Target.com.
