Front-Closure Sports Bra

Loooking for high-performance clothing that's cute and cost-friendly? Target's C9 Champion line fits both bills. We love this wireless sports bra, with built-in cups and adjustable straps that keep your girls supported and in place—whether you're going for a jog, killing a HIIT workout, or sweating through hot yoga. Wicking stretch fabric and a zip-front closure ensures ease when taking the bra on and off even after your sweatiest workout. Pair this stylish sports bra with a workout tank, or wear it alone with high-waisted leggings. ($25; target.com)

Fitbit Alta

Stay fit in style with this slim wristband. Fitbit Alta will track your activity, sleep, and exercise, as well as let you log your food and record workouts. As a mom, sleep seems like it moves to the bottom of the priority list, but Fitbit Alta will develop sleeping routines to ensure you're getting enough sleep to stay energized during the week. (Yay!) Movement reminders throughout the day will keep you living a healthy and active lifestyle. Try the band in a daring coral or teal, or opt for a classic black, plum, or blue.

Resistance Cables

Before you skip a workout because you're feeling exhausted (raises hand!), remember this: Physical activity gets your heart pumping and oxygen flowing—which will make you feel more energized and less stressed. Take 5 or 10 minutes out of your busy day to complete a set of resistance training with these cables. The resistance cables were designed to withstand high-repetition training. Completing a few sets of shoulder presses or lateral raises is a great way to start your day. ($15; paragonsports.com)

Medicine Ball

Looking for a super-versatile piece of fitness equipment? Meet the medicine ball! The power of the medicine ball lies in its core-strengthening abilities—stabilizing your torso makes actions like lifting, pulling, and pushing easier and safer. Used as a total-body training tool, a medicine ball can help improve the strength of your muscles and joints as well as your endurance. Power up because the easy-grip texture means you can throw, bounce, or rebound the ball with ease. ($29 - $114; spri.com)
