Wear Your Fitness On Your Sleeve

Wear Your Fitness On Your Sleeve
fitnessuwear1 Working out is hard enough to do and often forgotten. We get busy with life and somehow neglect to workout. According to Annie Ulichney, founder of Philadelphia-based fitness accessory company fitnessUwear, “exercise can be the easiest part of your day. You just don’t realize it yet!” Annie, a self-proclaimed “typical mom” knows a thing or two about having a busy lifestyle, and with the help of co-founder Kim Koelle, they set out to create an easier way for women to get in shape and stay in shape – through “exercise accessories!”
fitnessUwear is exactly that – products designed to let you literally “set it and forget it” through simple garments and accessories that add extra resistance throughout the day. Annie says that many women suffer from “exercise guilt,” in which they plan to exercise during certain times and never end up fitting it in. “Women are constantly telling us that they need an exercise plan that they can add to their day without feeling like it is a burden, or feeling guilty if they don’t do it,” says Annie, “so we wanted to create fun, fashionable fitness items for every woman’s busy schedule.”

The ladies of fitnessUwear has developed three products to help you add exercise to your everyday life.

Banglz Wrist Weights

They maximize upper body muscle tone and develop new, lean muscle during your regular day. By providing ongoing resistance, they help to strengthen arms, shoulders, chest and core. Price: $24.95

Banglz Ankle Weights
