Revealing my new designs at Target!! Hey guys! Today we’re going shopping because I dropped some new, super cute designs at Target and cannot believe we haven’t talked about them yet?! It’s crazy how after 3 years and countless Target visits, I still feel anxious (in a good way) when I walk through the store to the fitness section. Seeing new products join the display will never get old! And yes, I still tidy up the shelves to make everything look pretty every single time. Anyway. Here’s what’s new from Blogilates x Target!   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Cassey Ho (@blogilates) SHOP BLOGILATES AT TARGET Water Bottle Bag WE LOVE POCKETS. This bag has 3 (one on the front and two on the side) so you can carry your water and the essentials in one bag. It has a crossbody strap too, so it’s perfect for long walks and hikes, but also for running errands when you need to be hands-free. Oh, and it’s insulated! Gotta keep that water cold. SHOP WATER BOTTLE BAG Half Gallon Timer Bottle The perfect bottle for your bag! It holds half a gallon of water and has little markers to help you stay on track to hydrate all day. I also added a little strap for easy carrying if you’re not using a water bottle bag! SHOP HALF GALLON TIMER BOTTLE Black High Ponytail Cap Yay now you can get the High Pony Cap in black! This hat is a perfect example of something I designed to solve a problem. The problem? Founding Father hair. EW. I used to avoid hats because I had to either shove a ponytail through the hole that’s always a super awkward height or do a low pony. SOO I went on a mission to design a hat that works with a high or low pony. She’s essential. Trust. SHOP BLACK HIGH PONYTAIL CAP   3-in-1 Toning Tubes Your workout is about to get spicy. The tubes in this set are interchangeable, meaning you can make them as light or as heavy as you want. And omg the gold hardware?! Love! SHOP TONING TUBES Ultimate Toning Tube Kit Booty toning bands. This set comes with 5 resistance tubes, soft squishy handles so you can work your upper body comfortably, and ankle weights to work your booty. You can seriously make so many combinations with this little set and it’s super travel-friendly. My favorite thing in this set is the door anchor! You just put it behind your door and then. you can do leg extensions like you would with a cable machine! Glutes on FIREEE. SHOP TONING TUBE KIT Foam Roller with Ridges I love foam rolling to loosen up tight muscles and help with soreness after a tough workout… but I also lowkey hate it because it’s kind of uncomfy while I’m doing it. Totally worth it though. I made this foam roller with little ridges to make it even more intense. Ahh it’s gonna hurt so good! If you have tight hips or shoulders or just want to level up your recovery, you need this. SHOP FOAM ROLLER   Black Gym Bag You wanted the gym bag in black and now it’s HERE! She’s sleek and she’s functional, with a shoe compartment, yoga mat holder, and multiple pockets inside and outside to carry your water bottle, snacks, keys, and anything else you need. The bags usually go quick, so you’ll have to lmk if you see one in your store!! SHOP GYM BAG   Terrazzo Gym Flooring This isn’t new-new, but it’s back at a lower price and that is a reason to celebrate! I love this flooring so much. It adds a lil cushion for your joints, it locks together so you can add as many as you need to fit your space, and it’s SO PRETTY. Shop Terrazzo Flooring   Tell me if you’ve seen the new drop at your local Target! I’m always curious what it looks like at your store! Btw if you don’t see it on the shelves check the site! I see that the high pony cap and the ultimate bands kit are still in stock there! Hey guys!

I Ditched the Gym to Work Out… In a Mirror?? This Lululemon Mirror review may contain referral links for products we love, and all opinions are our own.

As much as the Libra in me loves looking at myself, I never thought I’d see the day when I was slipping into my leg-day best to work out… in a mirror.  Okay but hear me out. It’s not just any ordinary mirror. It’s the Lululemon Studio Mirror. This smart fitness mirror allows you to tap into over 10,000 workouts in the comfiest gym in town: your home. It’s crazy. But also the perfect solution if you’re looking for ways to get movement in throughout the day, building up gym confidence, or want a little personal coach to up your workouts.  Let’s get into a little Lululemon Studio Mirror review Shall we?   Was I intimidated to ban myself from the gym completely? For sure. But I’m always down for a little mental and physical challenge. I headed to Target to grab some essentials, made one 0.5″ addition to my yoga mat lineup and I was ready to sweat! Pros & Cons Shop Lululemon Studio Mirror 2 cons, 8 pros. Short answer: I think it’s worth it. Cons first. Cons Connection Issues I can admit – I’m impatient. Connection issues are the bane of my existence. When I wake up at 5am to work out, I want nothing to be in my way. Sadly, I’ve dealt with the Mirror not showing up to our little morning sessions and my app can’t locate my mirror (my eye is twitching just thinking about those hard mornings). For me, this leads to a lack of motivation to get my movement in. Luckily, it doesn’t happen all of the time.  Difficult to Move Coming in at around 70 lbs… THE MIRROR. She’s a beast. If you’re someone (like me) who enjoys constant rearrangement, you’ll definitely need a hand when you want a little room refresh. The upside: she’s sturdy. And when I’m not frantically chasing change, I know she will comfortably sit against the wall and I don’t have to worry about it tipping over.  Pros Convenience  I feel like this is a more obvious one but… you don’t have to leave the house to get a good workout in. You can set The Mirror up in your preferred area and sweat like you’re in the gym (and probably feel sore like you just left the gym too).  Various Workouts  The Mirror has classes from Cardio to Pilates to Strength Training. You name it, it has it. I’m not joking when I say that my cardio typically involves hopping on a treadmill for 5 minutes…. and then finishing off with a sprint to my car. I stick to a consistent strength training routine that I never steer away from. Like, yoga classes at my local gym sound great. Keyword: sound.  Over the past month, I’ve dabbled into Pilates, Gentle Yoga, and Guided Meditation (as I’m typing this my mouth is open like I’m literally amazed). As a result, I’ve learned to strengthen my mind, body, and spirit in ways that I never imagined.   Build Confidence I can admit it – when I’m doing things that I have never done before, I find myself overanalyzing myself, especially in the gym. Do I look stupid doing this? Am I even doing it right? Is that person over there judging me? Being able to move through classes with no one in the room besides me, myself, and I (my 3 besties) has made me worry less about judgment and allowed me to focus on nothing other than my movement.   Personal Coaching I’m a firm believer that the mind is a powerful thing and working out is all about that mind-to-muscle connection. Within almost every workout session, each Lululemon coach has sprinkled positive words of affirmation that when you’re sweaty and ready to give up… help push you a little further to the finish line. It’s as if they all know the perfect moment to encourage you to thank yourself for showing up.  Equipment is Optional  A good workout with no equipment?? This was a major plus to me, especially because “no equipment” wasn’t narrowed down to only cardio classes. Some days, I was tapping into Butt + Legs days with a chance to focus on the movement and my form vs. how heavy I was lifting something.  Apple User Friendly   This is self-explanatory. I’m a total Apple girly so being able to sync my workouts to my Fitness app and let my Apple Watch track my heart rate makes my heart flip in circles. Your heart rate also shows up on the bottom of The Mirror as well which helps me gauge how much I can (aka should) intensify my workout to really push myself.  Overall Feelings After being stuck in a zone of not being excited to work out and also, not knowing how to switch up my routines, The Mirror helped to not only pull me out of my funk but also get excited about moving again. Transitioning back to gym days, I’ve realized that the Mirror has helped me prioritize pre-workout warm-ups and also, give myself those mental pushes to bring me to the end of my workout.  If you’re looking for a smart mirror to grab for your home gym, The Mirror is totally worth the investment.
