Despite the endorphins that exercise releases, sometimes it's hard to make yourself look forward to actually working out. It can become such a mind game and every excuse comes into play.
It might sound crazy, but I have found that when I really like my workout clothes, I actually look forward to working out. AND if I put those clothes on as soon as I get out of bed in the morning, it starts my day off right!
Here are four of my FAVORITE workout brands right now:
I was asked recently which brand of sports bras was my favorite and I have to say all the ones I’ve bought from Athleta are my favorite. I forget I have them on when I’m wearing them because they are that comfortable. I also like they have a
Bra Finder Quiz where you can find a bra that fits your needs. I feel extra sassy when I have the whole outfit from Athleta. They also have fabulous everyday wear!
Those little swooshes get me every time! Nike always has the most stylish and comfortable shoes. The cross training Nike Free are great for my workouts and these Nike Pegasus for walking/running. They give me just the support I need to finish my at home workouts. You can also do the NIKE ID to design your own shoe.
I’m most obsessed with these yoga pants . Not only is the Everlux material comfortable and extremely soft, they also have a high waist so you can hide your muffin top. The price point isn’t the least expensive, but sometimes you can find them on sale or ask for them for Christmas, which is what I do each year. I also love Lululemon headbands...they stay on and keep the sweat from dripping down your face plus they usually come in styles that match their cute tops and bottoms.
Also known as Carrie Underwood’s brand, this is a great modest yet stylish workout gear with a better price point. I’m particularly fond of their shorts, especially the 5” inseam ones . They have high waist bands and are super comfortable.
When you workout in that old college t-shirt, it makes you feel frumpy and isn’t very motivating. Finding a cute workout outfit that will give you that extra oomph of motivation can be a game changer. Some of my friends even wear makeup to workout to make them feel extra sassy.
And, just so you know…Target, Old Navy, and TJ Maxx have cute, inexpensive, fitness training clothes if the above are out of your price range.
I’m looking forward to seeing you post your cute, sweaty selfies on social media in your new cute workout clothes!
