Megan Roup's Must Haves: From Pregnancy-Safe Retinol to Dance-Cardio-Approved Sneakers

If you've ever hit up a dance cardio class like Roup's and experienced foot cramps or aching shins, your shoes may be to blame. She loves the New Balance Fresh Foam X 1080v12 ($160) for any type of workout, including her own method.

"I love those sneakers. I feel like I can like do any modality in them. I can do dance cardio, I can do sculpt, and I think they're like fashion-forward enough to where I can wear them out, which I really appreciate," she says. "They last a long time, too. I've been using them for over a year."

Pro Tip: "If anyone tells me that they're like experiencing shin splints or shin pain, the first question I ask is: How old are your sneakers? What sneakers are you wearing?" Roup says. "And are you stretching your calves before and after class? The sneaker is so important if you're doing any type of high-impact class."
