It's marathon season, and I just so happen to be sitting this one out. I've been struggling with knee tendinitis for about a year now, so I've been at physical therapy rather than at the track. But just because I have runner's FOMO doesn't mean I'm not finding other feel-good ways to move my body. I came up with the fun idea to ask my PS team about their desert island fitness must haves — in other words, what's the one item they use nearly every day and couldn't live without? While the question can be interpreted differently for everyone, I absolutely loved the wide array of responses I fielded and thought it a no-brainer to share them with you. Since it's probably clear to you at this point that I'm an avid runner, I dropped my go-to marathon sneakers that are some of the lightest on the market; senior audience strategist Chari Perez shared her beloved foam roller; beauty senior staff writer and social producer Renee Rodriguez vowed her love for her Oura ring; and beauty section lead Jessica Harrington revealed her secret workout enhancement: Bala bangles. You can shop our favorite fitness products throughout the rest of the newsletter, and click the button below to comment on our Instagram and share your own desert island fitness must have — I'd love to know about it! |

| Who doesn't want their butt to look good when performing a squat? Our editors have tested nearly every leggings brand on the market, and these are the 10 that really provide adequate compression and lift. These are the pairs that have us thinking Damn, I look good when we spin around and look in the mirror. |

| It's the last day to shop Nordstrom's End of Season sale, with plenty of need-now items discounted up to 60 percent off. We've included plenty of fitness picks in our roundup of editor faves and bestsellers, so make sure you scope out the selection before EOD if you're looking to add to your workout drawer. |

| As a shopping director and fitness devotee, I've tested hundreds of apparel brands — which prompted me to curate a guide to the best sets for each specific type of workout you've got on your calendar. From the Pilates-perfect Alo Yoga Heart Throb collection to grippy socks to badass Hayabusa gear for boxing, these are my tried-and-tested recs. |

|
| Did someone mention Alo Yoga? That's right, the retailer's Early Access Sale starts today, and you can get 30 percent off sitewide. That means everything we've added to this bestsellers guide is marked down, plus the latest looks Kendall and Kylie Jenner uploaded to their Instagrams. Need we say more? |

Before you go, here are more shopping stories from Popsugar that should be on your radar. |
- If Athleta is one of your favorite workout apparel brands, get pumped, because the brand's offering 25 to 50 percent off gifts through Oct. 31.
- I had the chance to run with Peloton instructor Kirsten Ferguson, and I'm still dreaming about how much I learned from her in just 20 minutes. Watch us in action!
- If you're super in tune to your posture while working out, well, you should be. But if you need some extra support in that department, check out Taylor Swift's favorite Forme sports bra and feel the major difference. Everyone always asks me if Forme apparel is worth the price tag. Short answer? Yes.
- If you've ever considered training with a running coach, you can read about my personal experience to learn exactly what it entails and decide if it's right for your next race.
