When I am not feeling cute, I wear leggings to work out. I really love cropped leggings and a tank. Oh, and you cannot forget a good sports bra! It is important that the clothing is made with a dry fit material to help with sweat. My iPod is my favorite work out accessory. I recently started using the NXE iPod moisture-wicking sports sleeve to hold my iPod when I work out and it works great! It is super comfortable. When I work out outside, which is more often then not, I make sure I have on my Oakley Commit sunglasses, which are the ones I wear when I compete. On my workout wish list: the Chanel J12 Marine watch to help me keep time when doing drills.

People ask me how to get into rock climbing, and my answer is always the same: sign up for a beginning rock climbing class, or have an experienced climber teach you. For safety reasons alone, it's not something to start naively.

Once you decide that climbing is for you and you feel comfortable using the gear that the gym provides, you'll want to invest in your own. The above products are what I call an "indoor rock climbing starter set" — solid gear made from reputable brands that are perfect for a newbie (and beyond). You need chalk to keep your hands dry, an all-around climbing shoe, and the basic devices needed to manage the ropes. And of course, a harness to keep you safe and sound. Wear loose-fitting clothes like you would to yoga — I especially love climbing in moisture-wicking clothing — and you're pretty much set.

Take advantage of the cool shade provided by a canopy of trees and take a hike. Ascending those steep hills not only works your heart and lungs, it tones your backside too. Hiking is also a mega calorie burner — over 350 in an hour. Sporting the right gear will make you a happy camper on the trail. I consider wicking-wear essential (sports bra, undies, and socks) for staying dry and comfortable, and have highlighted my favorite hiking gear above.

Jessica Biel saw things in shades of gray on a bike ride with beau Justin Timberlake on Friday. And even though we love Jessica's outfit, we think that she's missing one thing: a helmet. Keeping with her color palette of the day, we styled her out with a cool gray and blue helmet from Bern. If you're loving Jessica's look, click on any item to buy it for yourself.
