Gym bag essentials: Peppermint Essential Oil has been a staple in my life since I was very young. I rub a drop or two on my temples or the back of my neck when I am feeling tense or need a pick me up. I get pretty bad migraines on occasion and the peppermint oil helps relieve the headache pains.
Go-to workout equipment: A Megaformer. I haven't worked out in a traditional gym since college. The Megaformer is a one stop shop: total body conditioning that allows me to strengthen and tone my body with slow, controlled, precise movements. I also adore foam rollers.
Pre- and post-workout snack: I really try not to eat anything too close to a workout. I just drink a lot of water. Post-workout I'm a big fan of a banana with a spoonful of peanut butter, or an Indie Fresh Mini Protein Smoothie (the Maca Root Acai is my fave).
