5 for Friday: Black Workout Leggings

Image
Is there anything better in life than a pair of good black leggings? You know, the kind you say that are for working out, but they’re also for sitting on your couch in a hoodie and fuzzy socks. (You know you do it too!) Every time I go shopping for workout clothes, I tell myself not to buy another pair of black workout leggings. And just about every time I go shopping for workout clothes… let’s just say, I’ve lost count of how many pairs I have, but they’re my favorite and ones that I wear all the time. I mean, they go with everything ! Here are my top five favorites. Brooks Greenlight Capris (on sale for $42!): These are my hands-down favorite leggings, and I’ll always pick them from the top of the (clean!) laundry pile.

I love podcasts. They might be my favorite part of the Internet revolution. World-class lectures on every topic. Interviews with experts from every field. Hilarious comics ripping on each other. And it’s all free. Today, I’m going to list some of the health podcasts I’m enjoying lately. First, check out the post I did several years back . All those podcasts are still great, and you should still listen to them. But as the movement has grown, so has the stable of health podcasts. It’s impossible to keep up with all of them, but it’s fun trying. Here are a few I’m digging lately. Primal Blueprint Podcast It might be shameless self-promotion, but I love what my team does. Primal Blueprint Podcast host Elle Russ always serves up great conversation no matter who she’s interviewing each week. You’ll find me there periodically, too, either talking with Elle about a new book or project or acting as host myself, as I did this week with Chris Kresser. While we’re on the subject, I’ll menti
