Lorna Jane Ultimate Support Leggings
"Now that I'm starting to ease back into my pre-pandemic workout routine, I'm reminded how much I adore these leggings — and probably need five more pairs. They're the perfect height on my waist and their full length means I can wear them for all sorts of workouts — from a quick gym session to my favorite workout, trapeze. I'm also in love with the texture — not too slippery and perfectly supportive while still movable and breathable." — Hannah Rimm, Associate Editor
Lorna Jane Ultimate Support F/L Tight, $, available at Lorna Jane
Brooks Running Aurora-BL
"I've always got at least three pairs of running sneakers in rotation at any given time, and these are my newest additions. These have a huge, ultra-cushioned sole that is so light and soft, while still being stable. I used to gravitate toward harder running shoes, and only recently realized how well I perform with a little more cushioning — and these offer the perfect marriage of softness and speed. Plus, honestly, these are the only pair of Brooks I own that I would feel fine wearing socially; with that chunky sole and the cool colorway, they moonlight as a high-fashion sneaker." — Mirel Zaman, Deputy Director of Lifestyle, Wellbeing, & Social Issues

Liquid IV
"I love this stuff. It's a powdered mix of potassium, sodium, and sugar that you stir into a glass of water and chug. It's meant to help your body absorb more water so you stay hydrated. I swear I can feel my cells sucking up the H2O as I drink. I know there are few different brands that do variations of the same thing, but this is far and away my favorite. It tastes good, and it's the one I feel like works the best. " — MZ
Liquid IV Liquid I.V. Hydration Multiplier, $, available at Amazon
Lokai Metal Water Bottle
"God, how I love to chug water. I live for the ahhh sound I make after taking a particularly satisfying sip of the cold stuff. And I'm always looking for a cool new water bottle to add to my collection. This chic-looking stainless steel jug was a no-brainer. It keeps my water chilled all day, and has a grip around the middle (helpful, since I'm always losing my handle on things when condensation starts to collect). Also nice: there are various lid options. I'm a straw girl myself, so I go for a top with one built-in, but I can easily swap it out for one with a handle when I'm on the go." — Molly Longman, health writer

TriggerPoint MobiPoint Textured Massage Ball
"After 15 months of walking around in almost nothing but comfy tennis shoes during the pandemic, my feet were utterly shocked when I started torturing them again with heels and cute strappy (blister-inducing) sandals post-vaccination. The dogs — they were a-barkin'. Then I started using this nifty hand-and-foot massage ball for targeted compression, and it was life changing. I used this YouTube tutorial for guidance on how to get the most out of this tiny-but-mighty massage master. I particularly like using it on the balls of my feet, but it also feels great to massage my back and pecs with it." — ML
TriggerPoint TriggerPoint MobiPoint Textured Massage Ball, $, available at Amazon
Weekender Inflatable Paddle Board 10'
"My love for paddle-boarding is something I acquired only recently, but it runs deep. What's better than the feeling of standing and skimming — slowly, smoothly — across a vast body of water, as if, in fact, you are walking on it? Unfortunately, I live in an apartment without much storage, and so possessing a paddle board of my own never made much sense — until now, thanks to this inflatable version from Retrospec. Both super-convenient to take with me when I head up to the lake-house to which I am lucky enough to have access (grateful to my boyfriend and his parents) and easy to inflate (look, it takes a little work, but don't all good things?), this paddle board is very sturdy in the water, and the paddle is excellent, helping me maneuver easily around whatever waves or wakes I find myself facing. I can't wait to spend the rest of the summer gliding around, without the stress of having to figure out where to store this beauty when I'm not using it." — Kristin Iversen, Director of Lifestyle, Wellbeing, & Social Issues
Retrospec Weekender Inflatable Paddle Board 10', $, available at Retrospec
Philips Sonicare 9900 Prestige Rechargeable Electric Toothbrush
"I've been using a manual toothbrush my entire life, and TBH I was kind of intimidated to try out this futuristic electronic brush from Philips Sonicare at first. After using it for about a week, I think I've finally got the hang of it. The coolest thing about it might be that it's connected to an app that lets you see brushing recommendations in real time, and the SenseIQ technology that adapts the brush's intensity with how hard or soft you're brushing. The travel charging case is incredibly chic too, and will definitely come in handy for the long weekend trips I have coming up this summer. I'm almost excited for my next dentist appointment." — Elizabeth Gulino, health & wellness writer
Philips Philips Sonicare Prestige Toothbrush, $, available at Target
