Last week, Women's Health announced the winners of its annual Fitness Awards, showcasing innovative at-home gear, a clever water bottle, sports bras that actually stay in place and more. To share more about some of the winners, Women's Health Executive Health and Fitness Director Jacqueline Andriakos stopped by Studio 1A and talked about all her team's favorite finds. |

| Level up your at-home gym with these dumbbells that feature an easy-to-grip exterior that's soft on the palms. But, says Andriakos, "the real hero feature is the square heads — they prevent wobbling and rolling, which is so important for wrist protection when you're in high plank, doing renegade rows, or doing any stability-based training." $29.99 |
|
|
"We're seeing a trend away from classic leggings toward slightly flowier gym-to-street pants, and these are such a comfortable, functional version of that," says Andriakos. "They hug in all the right places, come in tons of colors, and — bless them — they offer short, regular and long inseams, which I appreciate as a tall girl." $68.00 |
| |
|
| These versatile training shoes "look sleek, they're super bendy and comfortable, and they're truly a hybrid shoe," says Andriakos. "While you can tie them like regular sneakers, I love that they're easy to slip on thanks to the heel loop—perfect for those moments when I'm holding my daughter and don't have hands free to tie laces." $72.30 $100.00 |
| |
This "no-frills" tote bag won the award for 'Best Gym Tote,' and is washable, meaning you can rid it of any gym-related odors alongside your used workout clothes each week. "It has all the functionality and compartments you'd want whether you're going to and from the gym or just running around town," says Andriakos. $50.00 |
| |
|
| These were named the 'Best Running Sock' by the Women's Health team, for their "lightweight and low-profile yet cushiony" fit. "The biggest mistake I've made in the past with running socks is wearing ankle-cut and ending up with blisters or open wounds on the back of my ankles or heels," says Andriakos. "The quarter rise on this pair means your ankle stays fully protected no matter your distance." $19.00 |
|
|
"I really believe even the most mundane items can make daily habits — like hydration — feel more enticing," says Andriakos, adding that the "window" on this attractive water bottle helps give you visual cues on how much you've consumed. Plus, you can switch out the caps for either a screw-off or straw lid, depending on your preferences! $26.00 |
| |
|
| Sweaty workouts and messy hair is no match for this headband! It's made with a special, breathable "Evapocool" fabric, which the brand says activates when moist to cool the skin and reduce its temperature by up to 30%! $29.99 |
|
|
According to the brand, this sandal absorbs 37% more impact than traditional footwear. Meaning, you should experience less stress on the knees, ankles and other joints as you recover. $59.95 |
| | |
| Keep all your essentials nearby and within reach during your runs with this running belt that, according to the brand, is a favorite amongst marathoners. And, SPIbelt says, unlike some other running belts on the market, this one offers ample space and no bounce as you run. $26.99 |
|
|
If you're like us and have a growing collection of water bottles, you might want to add this Bala Bottle to your round up. Not only will it keep your drink cool, the magnetic booster ring on the cap can be used to mount your phone! $59.00 |
