Let’s face it, at least one of our resolutions involves getting healthier.
Personally, I prioritized my health and fitness plan two years after my first daughter was born. The gym became time set aside just for me and slowly but surely it became a habit. Now, mind you, I like to eat (A LOT) but exercise brings me happiness. All those endorphins set the tone for my day! If one of your resolutions involves the gym, let’s do it in style. You know I have so many ideas for you!
We gotta sweat in style!
Luckily, the activewear style trend continues to dominate in 2020! There are amazing deals at all price points.
First off, places like Marshalls and TJMaxx have some pretty amazing brands at pretty amazing prices! Look out for brands like RBX and Marika, their clothing holds up to repeated washes and holds their shape better than other brands in my opinion. The great part about these stores is that you can mix and match brands and find a look that works for you. It also helps that everything is in one spot: sneakers, pants, shirts, and sports bras. So if you can spare an hour from your hectic mom life, you could probably find a couple of cute workout outfits!
At a higher price point, you have cult faves like Lululemon and Athleta. The fabrics and quality are amazing, and their sales associates will pay attention to what you specifically need.
Shopping online works better for you?
One of my fave places to shop online for activewear is Noli Yoga. They have some high-quality outfits for pretty decent prices. On my teacher’s budget, I usually wait until they have a sale.
I also love Balance Athletica for online shopping. They have several collections, but if I were you I would stick to the Aura Collection for amazingly soft activewear pieces that stand up to all workouts, yet look great!
6pm.com has sneakers for a fraction of the price of most retailers and they carry all of the major name brands. Sizing can be determined by reading reviews carefully.
But Suki, what do I buy?
Not going to lie, black looks good on everyone! Start with black workout leggings and black sports bras and then add your personality with a cute printed workout tank. My favorite pattern is camo! As you start learning the sizes and pieces that work for you, you can experiment more.
Whatever you wear, may you wear it in health and happiness!
