Summer is the time to show off those legs that you've been working so hard at achieving. Even if you're not at your goal just yet, a cute pair of workout shorts never did anyone any harm. I am loving these Roll Down Shorts ($32.00) from Marika. They are tight so they won't be bunching up while running or giving peep shows during crunches.

Get Your Butt in Gear: NiteSweatz Workout Thong

I grew up hearing that thongs are not good for, ahem, down there. I don't really want to get into details but it has something to do with a lethal combo of yeast, and moisture. This meant sleeping and working out in a thong were a big no-no. NiteSweatz ($16.00) thong is for anyone who has feared the thong while working out.

They insulate to keep you warm, and the wool is great Read more

Socks with wicking will help to wick (or draw) the moisture away from your foot to keep your tootsies Read more
