When I start to feel the pinch, what do I do? I drink.

Water. Lots of it.

Why? Hydration is a huge step toward looking and feeling our best.

And, right now, water is always with me in a bobble Sport. It’s a new slim-style bottle, designed to fit in most equipment at the gym or bikes at the indoor cycling studio. And, it’s convenient because I can fill it at a sink or fountain anywhere and still eliminate chemicals and impurities via a carbon filter contained within the bottle, itself.

In the morning, I toss in a few slices of fresh lemon to detox. (Plus, if you don’t love the taste of water, or lack thereof, lemon, lime, berries and/or cucumber can easily come to your rescue.)

At the office, my bottle is always on my desk, next to my computer. (If that’s not enough, set Outlook “sip” reminders for yourself every hour.)

And, I’ve got it with me around town, too.

Every New Yorker has a quirk or two. Mine is: I never, ever get on a subway without water. Because, hey, ya never know.

So, here’s to celebrating the holidays in good health. Eat, drink and be merry. And never find yourself on the subway, or at the office, thirsty again.

bobble Sport comes in 7 colors, find them all here. And, follow bobble on Twitter and Instagram.

Thank you to bobble for partnering on this post.
As always, all thoughts/assessments are my own.

Living in NYC doesn’t leave much room for regular massage after bi-weekly pedicures (all that running isn’t pretty) and weekly manicures (necessitated by constant hand washing from 24/7 water consumption–my Klean Kanteen is with me, always).

Luckily for me, as a Women’s Health brand ambassador, I was excited to find the Wahl Hot-Cold Massage Gel Pack stuffed into my mailbox.

The gel pack can be frozen for immediate use after high-impact exercise or heated in the microwave, for the inevitable muscle cramps and aches that follow a day or two later.

And check out its high-tech enhancement: a massaging disc that really gets deep into your muscles, simulating a real rubdown without an actual masseuse.

When it comes to fitness equipment and products, I’m pretty low maintenance. A towel soaked in ice cold water and eucalyptus oil or even a cool shower has always done the trick. But, my Wahl gel pack is a welcome addition, especially as my mileage increases. Six weeks until the race in wine country! Stay tuned for more: #willrunforwine!
