In the Fall, getting a head start on a morning hike is one of my favorite things. The air is still crisp from the cool evening before, and I love to catch glimpses of the leaves beginning to change colors. One thing to remember though is you've got to wear layers. Even though it's chilly when you start out, as soon as you get trekking up that mountain, you'll heat up fast. Make sure you have Read more

Nothing beats the feeling of running or biking outdoors - the fresh air, soft breezes, and beautiful scenery make you feel so energized and alive. Now that the air temperature is heating up, you're going to find that as soon as you step outside, you're going to begin to sweat. I'm sure you're sporting a wicking sports bra, underwear, and tank top, so what about your feet? They're stuck inside Read more

I know snow is a weird topic to bring up now, but in certain parts of the world, spring hasn't quite sprung. Many of the mountains are still covered in snow, so this weekend might be the last time to snap on your skis or board and hit the slopes. For some, spring skiing and riding is better than winter skiing because there has been tons of snowfall, the skies are clearer, and the air is warmer. Read more

I love exercising in the Spring, and even though it's warmer than it was a month ago, you still need to wear some kind of layer to keep you warm. You don't necessarily need a big long-sleeved jacket, so this is the perfect time of year to sport a vest. Check out this one from Salomon. It's made out of "ActiLite," a fabric that is abrasion resistant, moisture wicking, and breathable. When Read more

The LIVESTRONG wristbands must Read more

I know now that it's officially Spring, you're getting all excited to enjoy exercising outside. Maybe you recently set a goal to run outside or you just got your bike tuned up, and now you're ready to sweat in the fresh air. Before heading out you want to make sure you're dressed properly in layers. Even though the sun is shining and the snow's all gone, you don't want to sport just your new Read more

Don't these just scream SPRING!? Are these too cute to be functional? Not for Patagonia. These are their Women's Active Hipsters. I know when I'm working up a sweat, I hate that gross wet feeling I get (ladies - I KNOW you know what I'm talking about). Also, I hate dealing with my cotton undies that bunch and ride up when they get wet. Well these are some high performance panties - They're Read more

Winter brings the excitement of so many different winter sports and activities - cross country skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing, and winter running. And just because it's cold outside does not mean you don't sweat. Sweating and winter don't mix since once your clothes get wet, they'll stay wet and that will make you cold. Plus if you pile on the layers, you won't be able to move freely which Read more

Everything is going dreamily. You found the perfect wedding gown for the big day. You've been exercising regularly to make sure it fits just right.
