Cheap! Cheap! Workout Wednesday

So we weren't planning on posting for Workout Wednesday this week and we usually try to steer away from workout clothing recommendations because everyone does that, but our lunchtime online shopping compelled us to post.  Why? Because the We Made Too Much section of Lululemon's website has some AMAZING finds right now, including an awesome selection of gym bags (and you know how important we think gym bags are).

We're particularly fond of the following items (and we'll let you know which ones we own and love).

Tops:
  • Available in a ton of colors and sizes, the ever popular Cool Racerback Tank is reduced to between $34 and $29. 
  • Also available in 3 colors and most sizes, our absolute favorite cold weather long sleeve running top (which also doubles as a base layer for skiing), the Rest Less Pullover is reduced to between $49 and $69.  Guys - THIS IS A STEAL and it will sell out so get thee to Lululemon and buy it RIGHT NOW. 
Sports Bras:

Disclaimer: we're hesitant to recommend sports bras because what works for us might not work for everyone in the sports bra department because we come in all shapes and sizes.  However, some of our tried and true bras are on sale, so take that for what it's worth. 
  • A relatively new addition to Katie 1's sports bra wardrobe is this Break Free Bra which she purchased on sale in New York.  So far, she's been pleased and loves the Culture Clash Starlight print.  At $39 its a good deal.
  • Katie 1 also has this Invigorate Bra and loves it, especially at the discounted price of between $39 and $29.   
Bottoms: 
  • We're huge fans of Lululemon's Nulux fabric and at $79 the Break Free Crop (available in most sizes in blue and the print, lucky sizes in black) are a really good deal!
  • We've recently discovered the Train Times Crop and LOVE IT.  It's the perfect gym crop and its available in a ton of colors and sizes and is a steal at $59.   
Bags/Accessories: 
Please note that this list is only a very small sampling of the items available so get thee to Lululemon's website and thank us later!

Workout Wednesday: The Push-up

We wanted to take today to discuss the benefits of one of the most useful (and hated) of all exercises: the push-up.  First off, why should you even care? It's a great exercise to do any time, any where. No equipment needed. It targets multiple muscle groups. Get a lot of bang for your workout buck. This is really 2b: It's good for your core. A strong core improves your posture and can help prevent lower back pain (something you will struggle with if you sit a lot during the day and as you're getting older).  Calorie-torching! (Let's call this one "2c".) Because you're using so many muscle groups, you burn more calories with a push-up than you will for other strength exercises that involve only one muscle. (Want to burn even more calories? Do a burpee- a push-up and a squat jump. They're awful. Katie 1 says that Katie 2, the primary author of this post, is evil for even mentioning burpees.) They can be done no matter your fitness level. Yo...

Interviewing Basics: The Portfolio

We are back with yet another blog series!! (We know, we know. Just stick with us.) Katie 2 is out in the market for a new job. Sad as she is to leave Katie 1, Elizabeth, and her current role, marriage awaits in a different state so she's out and about scouring the internet and her network for the perfect job. Which led us to think about interviews, and all the parts that go with it.  Yes, we are all professional adults who've had more than one "real" job, so we know how to interview, how to ask questions, etc. But interviewing can be stressful for anyone, no matter how accomplished you are. So we wanted to start this new series on interviewing basics to cover some items not just for those that are new to the workforce, but to think about some things that even experienced professionals should think about. Up first? The Portfolio. (In case you couldn't already tell that from the title of this post.) Back when she graduated from law school, Katie 2 receive...

Super Popular Trends We Hate

Perhaps it's a byproduct of getting older but recently we're starting to realize that there are a ton of super popular trends that we really effing hate. We've decided to share this list with our dear readers in hopes that both of you will commiserate.  A Real Working Girl's List of Super Popular Trends That Suck Ombre Hair. It’s so hard to get right and maintain and just ends up looking sloppy and unprofessional. If you talk to a stylist, she (or he) will likely explain that ombre came from people who were growing out their color. To make truly good ombre, it’s just roots. Also, isn’t this over now? Crop tops. Just no. Unless you are a stick this is not a good look for you.  Midi-skirts. See above. Katie 2 would like to add that unless you’re over 5’8”, it’s floor length.  Mom jeans. See #2. If you’re normal sized, you ass looks like crap.  Top knots. Sorry… it just looks sloppy. Take a minute and do your damn hair.  Sex hair. See above. It looks s...
