Tools
Best gym bag: Timbuk2 Arnold ($120) Slim and durable, this bag has roomy end pockets and a vented shoe area to keep your kicks separate. Elastic top pockets and an inner organizing pocket/computer sleeve take you from work to the gym.
Best reflective device/light: GoMotion Sport Runner Litebelt ($79.95) You can widen and direct the beam from the embedded front light, plus it has a flashing rear taillight, reflective trim, and two small zip-up pockets.
Best hydration: Camelbak Podium ChillJacket Insulated Bottle
($12) The innovative self-sealing bite valve traps fluids in the bottle. Plus, insulation keeps your drink cool. Works with cup holders, bike cages, and hydration belts.
Best pedometer: Timex Fitness Tracker ($90) Found: a wrist wrap that tracks calories, distance, and steps via a wireless pod you wear on your waist. Judges Therese Iknoian and Michael Hodgson love the simplicity of seeing your step count just by glancing at your wrist.
Best watch: Highgear Axio Mini ($125) This lightweight watch, designed for women, wowed our gear judges with its excellent fit. It features a thermometer, barometer, altimeter, and multiple alarms to monitor hydration, altitude, and more.
Shoes
Best trail running: Oboz Ignition II ($95) Inside, a stretch-mesh bootie molds to your foot; outside, a stable “cage” keeps your foot in place. These comfy shoes also offer top traction and stability on dry, wet, or rocky trails.
Best light hiking: Teva Aniso eVent ($100) Ideal for short and long hikes, these shoes have excellent traction and stability, in addition to great cushioning and arch support. The seamless waterproof, breathable upper keeps your feet dry in all conditions.
Best walking: Rykä Muse ($70) Firm but well-cushioned, these shoes boast ample toe room and great arch support. Kudos, too, to the breathable mesh top. Plus, they’re deep enough to hold an orthotic insert.
Best running: Asics Gel-Kayano 15 ($140) Lightweight yet supportive, stable but not bulky, these shoes are ideal for runners looking for good, cushioned motion-control. The odor-free sock liner and stretchy-mesh toe area are nice bonuses.

How about reviewing some workout gear for the fuller figured woman. The bra tops and shorts are nice but it leaves out a whole segment of women that exercise.
I agree completely! There is a huge market that would gladly spend money for plus size athletic wear that is both functional and fashionable. I am a former 3X that is now a 1X and wants some new workout gear. Does anyone have any suggestions
I love the apparel at SkirtSports.com and they go up to size XXL.
I have found a great sight for us larger gals it’s junonia.com I have purchased many items they are all very well made especially the sports bras!
why can’t i get to the deals listed on p 20 of current issue? i go to health.com/deals as published in the magazine and there’s no direct link, and nothing on the published pages can be found??
I thought I was the only one. How can the 10% coupon be used!?!
Aloha,
In your July/August issue on page 20 FABULOUS SAVINGS, you mention Ryka running shoes from Kelly Ripa collection for 20% off.
I would like to purchase these but caan’t fine them on your website.Please help. I love Ryka’s

How interesting – after two pages of supposedly discount coupons they are no way to be found on your website – when you go to health.com/deals all that is listed are some clothing – what a joke – I was trying to get the coupon for hoopgirl.com with your imaginary 10% off coupon. Thanks for nothing. Looks like I will not be renewing a magazine that advertises ‘MORE FAB STEALS!” and then the “steals” are no way to be found!
I too was looking for the 10% off @ hoopgirl.com. I was looking forward to hooping after 25+ years. Tried my granddaughters and it’s obviously too light.
I am also looking for the coupons advertised in the July/August issue and cAN FIND NOTHING. disappointing
I have been trying to get to your savings deals mentioned on page 20. No luck. Very frustrating. A friend gave me your magazine. I don’t think I would subcribe to your magazine, since it seems like false advertsing.
Our coupon page is now up and running at Health.com/deals. We’re sorry for any inconvenience!
