Accessorizing With Function

There are a few things I can't workout without....music, gum, and my keys if I'm away from home.  Everything else I could care less about, but those 3 are a must.  In fact, I probably own 8 pairs of headphones because I've had to stop at gas stations to purchase them on my way to Red Rocks or the Incline just so that I didn't have to go without music.

Now those 3 things I need for any workout I do...an outdoor run, a plyometric workout at the gym, a bike ride or a hike, but when it comes to something like a race you have to add on top of all of that your license, possible cash and a credit card.  The amount of "stuff" adds up quickly and usually your pocket space runs out especially with running shorts.  So unless you're going to start stuffing things in your sports bra and in your shoes you have to get creative!

Meet my new favorite running accessory...the Flip Belt (http://flipbelt.com/)!!!  And as a side note, I wish I could claim the below picture as my rocking hot body, but it's definitely not!  :)

The Flip Belt sells for under $30 and can be found in many different running stores across the country.  It's amazing.  It fits everything from my keys, to my license, to my iPhone.  You simply put everything in the little slots and then flip it over to secure everything into place.  I've used it for my daily runs, at the gym lifting weights and even for a race.  It fits snuggly over the waistband of your shorts or pants and comes in many fashionable colors.  

I bought the bright pink one in XS and love the way it adds a pop of color to every outfit I wear!  My only suggestion is to make sure you buy a size that will fit you snuggly so that it does not move around.  Just think...this is the slimmer, sexier version of the ever so popular fanny pack!!
