1. UNDER DESK TREADMILL

Starting off strong with this chic Under Desk Treadmill that is on my personal wish list! I’ve seen these all over social media, and there are more affordable options like this one too. I love the idea of getting my steps in while I’m working at my standing desk! My back gets super stiff if I sit for too long, so I just might get this for myself this holiday season…

2. UNDER DESK ELLIPTICAL

This is my secret weapon for hitting my daily protein goals!

I love the Taro Milk Tea flavor, but they also have other flavors like Classic Milk Tea and Matcha Latte.

5. MEAL PREP CONTAINERS

Meal prepping is a great tool to help you commit to and achieve your nutrition goals. It prevents me from making poor meal choices, or mindless snacking, and keeps me on track for my fitness goals.
