Can we talk about these mesh leggings? How cute are these?! Y’all know we LOVE anything with mesh, and on top of that, they’re grey #yesplease. These are $64 and super soft! We love grey pieces because they go with everything! We are wearing an XXS in these for reference!

This 1/2 zip jacket is great for throwing over a workout tank after the gym, and is super soft, too! It has thumbholes, which always helps with the cooler temps to keep your hands warm. We live in these jackets and this one comes in a bunch of fun colors!

These kicks are the best! We have these in bright green, too, and LOVE how comfy they are! They are available in the white, and this pair is also available and similar to these!

This outfit is great for running, lifting, yoga, or even running errands. It is super comfy and flattering, but also put-together and fun! What more could you ask for?!

Don’t forget to check out our weekly workout post on Wednesday, and if you missed last week’s post, you can check it out here!

Speaking of that, here is another exercise video that is great for triceps!

We found this winter workout look at Nordstrom. We love shopping there for everything, especially all of the cozy winter gear we need to stay warm in these cooler temperatures we have had! Shop more winter piece here.

Double Dose of Fitness

January 4, 2017

{ Swiftly Tech Long Sleeve Crew | Speed Short Mesh} Cardio Squad Tank II | Run Around Tight | Free To be Zen Bra }

Happy Wednesday! We are so excited to finally be sharing this post with y’all! We have been getting a lot of requests to start sharing more fitness-related content and videos, so here you go! Each week, we are planning on sharing videos, several of our workouts from the week, as well as a breakfast, lunch, and dinner recipe that we are planning on making this week or the following week!

Typically, we will do anywhere from 20-45 minutes of cardio, usually on the stair master, followed by weight training (each muscle group a different day). This week, we are sharing an arm and chest + calf workout, as well as a few videos!

Below is an arm workout we did last week + cardio:
This one is a chest + calf workout! We actually did this one yesterday!Below are some workout pieces we are loving this week [click each item to shop it directly!]:

Here are two videos for y’all:

1.) Step Ups On Bench ( you can hold 10b plates in each hand and do 10-12 reps on each leg for 3-4 sets)

PS-this bench is way too high, so choose a bench that is a little lower than this!

2.) Curls With Weighted Ball (you can hold a 10-12lb ball and do 10-12 reps of 3-4 sets

As far as cooking and meal prepping, we have done several posts on that, but typically, we like to have some kind of protein prepped for the week, like grilled chicken. That way, we can just add it to salads or veggies in 5 minutes, and you’re done!

This egg casserole is a GREAT option for those of you who don’t have time to make breakfast! You get a ton of protein, and you can make it on Sundays for the whole week, and then reheat it and serve with fruit! We used to make this every week when we worked our corporate job!

*click each item to shop*

From left to right, top : { 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 } // From left to right, bottom : { 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 }

Happy January! If there is anything that gets us motivated to workout each day, it is definitely fun workout clothes! I mean, what is better than some black and mesh?! It is the perfect amount of sexy and edgy, but is also polished an*d not too revealing. We love some variety of mesh leggings just because they are great for running around in after you leave the gym, without looking like you threw on a baggy outfit;)

Our favorites are obviously the ones under $100 that we pointed out above, but this pair of moto leggings we just got in black and are OBSESSED, and they come in a bunch of colors. Also, these black mesh ones (number 8) are great, too! We have them in black and love them!

We also recently got the grey mesh ones (number 4) and love the grey shade. It goes with everything!

If you’re looking for some fun tennis shoes to go with the leggings, here are our favorites:

Cute Workout Gear at Finish Line

December 14, 2016

Under Armour at Finish Line| adoubledose.com

{ Under Armour ” Charged All around” Shoes c/o | Black Leggings Similar Here | Pink Shirt Similar Here | Black Sports Bra }

As you all know, fitness and working out is a major part of our everyday routine! In case you missed this post last week on our medical condition, and how we got so passionate about fitness and nutrition, you should check it out!;) We pretty much workout, or do something active every single day, whether it’s doing some cardio on the stair master, elliptical, treadmill, lifting weights, or just walking outside on a beautiful day!

We are all about easy, comfy workout looks that are fashionable, but also allow you to get in a good sweat! These super comfy and lightweight Under Armour “Charged All Around” running shoes are amazing! First off, we love that the colors are super light and neutral, meaning you can pretty much wear them with anything! They have great support, and we love that they have the white detailing on the sides! We found these kicks at Finish Line, where they have a great selection of workout gear, especially cute running shoes, and y’all know we are all about that;)

These adorable shoes are on sale for $88, and would make a perfect holiday gift for those fitness lovers in your life;)

We styled these adorable kicks with a pair of black leggings (great for workouts, but also running errands or heading to brunch post-workout!) and a fun and bright long-sleeved top for the cooler temps outside! We don’t normally go for long-sleeved tops for workouts, but if it is a breathable top, like this one, we are all about it!

This other look is the prefect look for getting in a quick workout and then heading straight to run errands, get some work done at a coffee shop, or head to brunch with some friends! We pretty much live in workout clothes all week (except when we are shooting outfits for the blog);)

These Under Armour Street Precision Low Running Shoes are great for running, surprisingly! They are SO trendy, which we absolutely love! I mean, how fun is the leather look of them?! OBSESSED. You all already know we will be whipping these kicks out with our mesh leggings or leather leggings for a fun, athleisure look!

{ Under Armour Street Precision Low Running Shoes c/o | Navy Leggings Similar Here | Black Sweatshirt Similar Here | Black Sports Bra }

Since our days (non-shooting days), consists of throwing on some cute workout gear (because who isn’t motivated without cute gear), getting in a good sweat at the gym, and then tackling our errands or meetings in comfy clothes like this outfit!

Oh yeah, and did we mention these super cute kicks are on SALE for under $80?! Yes, please!

We paired these leather kicks with some fun two-tone leggings and a black-long sleeved loose top, perfect for throwing over a sports bra or tank post-workout!

PS- we are really excited to start sharing more workouts, workout videos, and some recipes we love making on the blog soon, so stay tuned! You can check out some of our previous workouts in this post!

Getting Active with Lululemon

December 7, 2016

{ Swiftly Tech Long Sleeve Crew c/o | Speed Short Mesh c/o} Cardio Squad Tank II c/o | Run Around Tight c/o | Free To be Zen Bra c/o }

Getting Active With Lululemon | adoubledose.com

{ Swiftly Tech Long Sleeve Crew c/o | Speed Short Mesh c/o}

We love this top! The color is super fun, and it also comes in a bunch of other great colors like grey and magenta. It is great for running because it allows you to sweat, and is really lightweight! This one would make a great holiday gift.

These speed shorts are great for running and are super breathable! They are super lightweight and we love that the navy color goes with everything! These are under $60, and we have had a similar pair for several years and still love them.

We are both definitely people that like to workout in shorts, no matter the weather, haha. We love pairing them with long-sleeves, so it is the perfect amount of breathability when we start sweating!

For our workouts, we typically like to start off by doing some sort of cardio either running outside or doing cardio on a machine in the gym using the stair master or elliptical. Following that, we will do some sort of weight training for a specific muscle group.

{ Cardio Squad Tank II c/o | Run Around Tight c/o | Free To be Zen Bra c/o }

This tank is great for running and workouts because it is really light, and has deeper armholes, great for letting the air cool you down! It also has their sweat-wicking, four-way stretch Seriously Light™ Luon fabric, which makes it really breathable!

These mesh crops are also really light and breathable! Usually mesh leggings can be really constricting and not ventilated, but these are great. They’re also really stretchy and fit like second-skin! We love that they come in grey, too!

When the weather is this nice and cool out, we love taking our workouts outdoors! Lululemon has the best pieces for working out in cooler temps. You can layer all of the pieces we are wearing by throwing on a cute jacket like this one! We love that all of their pieces are super lightweight and breathable.
