Hoka Clifton 8

"The most comfortable long-distance running shoe!" Matt shared with E! News. "I plan on using this shoe for the NYC Marathon and have been running in them for the past five years."  

Vita Coco Pressed

"Hydration is key. I put Vita Coco Pressed in all of my morning smoothies after I workout!" Matt revealed. "I swear this is the only reason I am not sore after even the most grueling workouts. After spending the summer in Jupiter and going on 30 mile bike rides, there was no comparable beverage that would quench my thirst." 

Lululemon Metal Vent Tech Hoodie 2.0

"Hoodies are my year-round staple, in and out of the gym," Matt shared. "You'll find me in a hoodie and short shorts when I'm working out and a hoodie and jeans when I go out. This hoodie is a personal favorite that goes with everything." 

Ithaca Hummus

"One of my favorite healthy snacks on the run and an absolute necessity for any charcuterie board!" Matt explained. "A personal favorite is the buffalo ranch flavor." 

Bucket Hat

"For that post-sweat, straight-to-brunch look," The Bachelor star explained while giving love to his charity with Tyler Cameron. "Right now, I have been rocking my ABC Food Tours custom swag." 

Beats by Dr. Dre – Powerbeats Pro

"These in-ear wireless headphones are ideal for workouts where you're moving around a lot," Matt explained. "I especially love the nine-hour battery life. If I am listening to music on my morning run, it is J.Cole. If it is a podcast, I am listening to Bill Simmons or 'The Herd' with Colin Cowherd and Joy Taylor."  

Peloton

Yes, Matt is a proud member of the Peloton family. As he told E! News, "We all need a little morning motivation from the great Alex Toussaint sometimes!!" 

Theragun

"This tool is a lifesaver for sore muscles," Matt praised. "It's been a staple in my pre-marathon regimen in between long runs and hard workouts."
