whenever i am working with a client…i am looking at the whole picture of their lifestyle…meaning everything from work…to social events…to soccer games…to date nite…to working out… i feel that every area of your life should be covered when it comes to your wardrobe…
and one piece where i see the most non thought about area…would be the workout wear…i think…if you look good…you feel good…and who doesn’t want to look & feel good while working out? why should you just plop on an old ratty t-shirt and bottoms? think of your workout gear as being your coach & cheerleader…
so take a look at what you currently wear to workout…has your sports bra lost its elastic give? are your yoga pants so low cut that when you go to do your downward dog…you’re showing more of your anatomy than you’d like? do your running shoes have any tread left? are there armpit stains on your t-shirts?
time to go shopping!
so what to look for? one of the most important things is to look at fabric content…fabric that pulls moisture away from your skin…this will keep you comfortable during your workouts…and as always…look for a good fit…
and remember…workout clothes do not need to be boring…try some fun colors…prints or fun textures…just as there is interest in your everyday clothing…bring it into your workout wear to express your style…
layering is key…when weather is unpredictable…and you need to shed clothes or add clothes…this is the easiest way…a hat…a vest…a thin layer long sleeved t-shirt…and a windbreaker are some great layering pieces…
on one of our shopping trips…a colleague had raved about her lucy perfect core knee pant…shown below…while it was a bit pricey for me…i gave them a try…and have to admit…they are pretty comfortable…and wear really well…
i am here to help you and support your efforts…we can shop for your workout wardrobe and put together great outfits that will make you feel confident and eager to work up a sweat…
do you have some faves to share?
