We're Gearing Up For Spring With These 14 Fitness-Editor-Approved Finds For March

"I'm gearing up to the run the Nike half marathon and have been logging major miles in the Nike Infinity Run Flyknit shoes ($160.) These shoes have a secure, cushioned feel that's comfortable on these longer distances. They are also lightweight, which helps with my stride. The major bonus is that they are one of the prettiest pairs of sneakers I own! I'm just obsessed with the color and style of these shoes. Even though they are my designated outdoor running shoes, I already want to get a second pair just to wear as a day shoe." — Genevieve Farrell Roston, Fitness and Wellness Director

"When I got injured earlier this year, the only workouts I was cleared to do were Pilates and yoga. Alo Moves ($20/month, $17/month for a year) had sent me a 90-day free trial of their yoga video subscription service, so I jumped (well, hobbled) right in. The website and app have thousands of videos of all different lengths, themes, and levels, so I could start my workout with a muscle-burning core or glute barre workout, then transition to a soothing yoga flow. It was the challenging yet low-impact workout I needed, and with so many different videos, I never felt bored. Although I'm almost back to my normal workouts, I already renewed my subscription and I'm planning on keeping Alo Moves videos as a part of my routine." — Maggie Ryan, assistant editor, Fitness

"I go to CrossFit, run, or do yoga seven days a week, and this is my new favorite sports bra for all three. The Under Armour Infinity Mid Heather ($40) is so affordable, but what I love more is that it's super soft and comfortable, and offers amazing snug support without feeling constrictive. I love this bright Beta salmon color to get me excited for Spring! "— Jenny Sugar, staff writer, Fitness

"I know cottage cheese may seem like a weird food to love, but I've been addicted to the Good Culture Blueberry Açaí Chia cottage cheese cups ($2). They're great for snacks or a quick breakfast and full of protein, which is a win-win for me." — Tamara Pridgett, assistant editor, Fitness

"As a fitness editor, I've been able to try out dozens of leggings, from high-end (read: expensive) to more affordable. And while I have my favorites, I was pleasantly surprised with the Avia Flex Tech Core Leggings ($25). They move and feel like some of the pricier leggings I've tried, and the high-waist compression keeps my belly in. They were perfect for a SoulCycle class I took, and for $25 at Walmart, they are super affordable and accessible." — Christina Stiehl, editor, Fitness

"I sustained a foot injury last year and my podiatrist found signs of early arthritis in one of my toes — not exactly news I wanted to hear. Joov had just sent me a sample of their Joov Mini ($695), an at-home red light therapy device, and thought I might as well supplement my treatment with the 10 minutes of red light per day that the company recommended. Though the science is still out on red light therapy as a whole, there's evidence to suggest it's effective at improving joint health, relieving inflammation, and soothing pain from arthritis. Though I can't say for sure if it helped with the healing process (my other treatments included rest, icing, and a big ol' boot), the red light definitely felt soothing on my foot after a long day and a painful round of icing; I loved the warmth it spread through my sore joints. The Joov Mini was easy to set up and small enough to fit in my tiny room, and I'm looking forward to testing out its other benefits, like collagen production for skin health." — MR

"I rarely find myself bloated — unless I consume too much diary — but when I do, it's rather uncomfortable. I'm not too fond of supplements but I tried The Nue Co. All-Natural Debloat Food and Prebiotic ($55) before consuming ice cream and after extremely heavy meals and they work great. You won't suddenly have the runs (very important to note) and in my experience, any discomfort caused by bloating will dissipate shortly!" — TP

"I like sneakers — it's that simple. I wear them to the office, to run errands, and, of course, for sweat sessions, and I really can't say anything negative about these York Athletics Frank Half and Half ($145) shoes. So far, I've tested them out on my commute, during a lower-body workout that I'll soon be reviewing, and on the treadmill. They fit just right (they have "fit points" to bring extra support), and I'm a huge fan of how crisp and cool they look. My feet have swag!" — Sam Brodsky, assistant editor, Fitness

"It's already three months into the year, and I've been keeping consistent with my New Year's resolution to meditate daily. I recently took my meditation practice to the next level by using the Core Meditation Trainer ($169). This handheld device guides you through meditation sessions with vibration patterns that gives your something to focus on. Core also allows you to view biometric data and track your stress levels as you meditate. Each session tracks your time spent calm or focused, as well as your heart rate.

After using Core during different parts of my day, I've observed more obvious trends, such as when I meditate at the end of the day after taking a bath, I spend more time feeling calm vs. when I meditate after getting home from being stuck in traffic but also more surprising trends like I tend to be more calm if I've worked out that day. I hope to use these insights to develop habits that allow me to feel more calm." — GFR

"SkinnyDipped Almonds are one of my favorite snacks. I love the blend of salty and sweet, and have gushed about the dark chocolate peanut butter flavor in the past. Since I'm a fan of all things lemon-flavored (lemon bars are my jam!), I was stoked to try the new SkinnyDipped Almonds Lemon Bliss ($50 for 10 bags) flavor. They are the perfect balance of sweet and tart, and only 9 grams of sugar per serving." — CS

"I'm on a journey toward going as plastic-free as possible, and I love these Nummyware containers ($11-$18). The bottom is made of oven-, microwave-, and dishwasher-safe glass and the airtight lid is durable bamboo, which is compostable — so I can say goodbye to plastic lids! It comes in four sizes you can purchase individually or in a set ($45), which is perfect for meal prep." — JS

"I had a gift card to S'well and because I already have a few water bottles from them, I figured I'd try something new. I decided on the S'well Travel Mug Stainless Steel Commuter ($35), and I finally put it to use a few weeks ago when I was traveling with my hot chocolate; I was surprised at how well it worked. I kid you not, my hot chocolate was hot for four hours! I also like that this can be used for both hot and cold beverages!" — TP

"Anyone who works out five to six days a week can relate: the laundry struggle is real. Every week, I seem to wash an endless supply of leggings, sports bras, tanks, and socks. Unlike my everyday wear, these clothes get sweaty and stinky, and sometimes it's hard to get them to smell as fresh as you would like clean laundry to smell. That's why I was stoked to find HEX Performance Laundry Detergent ($24 for two bottles) in fragrance-free (I'm pretty sensitive to scented detergents). I use it for all my laundry, not just my activewear, and it leaves them smelling nice and crisp without being overpowering. Plus, it keeps my activewear in tip-top shape so I don't have to worry about my clothes breaking down." — CS

"I know what you're thinking: 'Really, Sam? Chickpea puffs? In Must Haves?' Yes, yes I did just do that because I can't help myself. Snacking is one of my favorite hobbies, and I've recently gotten on the Hippeas bandwagon. The Hippeas Vegan White Cheddar Chickpea Puffs ($3) are crunchy, cheesy, and delicious. One serving has four grams of protein, and I feel good eating them (not that you can't eat normal chips if you want . . . I just like these as a healthier alternative). Bottom line? I smile when I eat them, and that's a good thing." — SB
