The Best Work Out Sets for Your Fitness Goals
Staying motivated to work out can be tough. With busy schedules and the call of summer happy hours, going to the gym can sometimes feel like the absolute last thing you want to do. One way that I stay motivated is to give myself a reward of a cute new work out look every time I hit a new fitness milestone. It keeps me going to the gym even when I don’t want to, and after I get a new pair of leggings, I can’t wait to test them out.
Every work out needs a new look though, so I have a lot of shopping to do! Here are some of the sets I recommend for whatever your work out preference might be…
Spin Class
Victoria’s Secret has put an increased focus on their fitness line, and it shows. From classic black leggings to sexy zip-front sports bras, their styles are made to be seen! And spin class is the perfect place for that! Mix and match tops and bottoms (including a great line of biker shorts) for a unique look.
Hiking
Get your Instagram ready because these sets a c-a-ute! Girlfriend Collective makes for some seriously cute photos so if you’re planning a bachelorette party or girls’ weekend, this is the brand to choose. Plus, their classics collection is made from recycled water bottles (seriously!) so you’ll be doing good while you look cute! Their new Canyon Collection will be great for summer and fall too.
Running
Outdoor Voices is another Instagram favorite and their TechSweat collection is great for girls on the move. While some of their original line pieces had some fit issues with curvier body types, this new fabric hugs curves and keeps everything tucked in while you run.
Yoga
Lululemon is the long-time classic and perfect for yoga. This is because most of their sports bras don’t provide a ton of support for more high intensity training. There are a few exceptions to this rule (see this bra!), but to be on the safe side…yogis unite!
Their leggings (here and here and here) are soft and supple and perfect for yoga class, but at least with the ever popular Align legging, be sure to hand wash them! Since they are so thin for comfort, the washer can be tough on them.
Weight Training
Old Navy. Yes, you read that right. Their activewear can take a beating, a lot of their leggings come with pockets to hold phones or keys, and they come in plenty of fun colors. Old Navy activewear should not be underestimated. Check for cool patterns and laser-cut details to make your gear stand out.
Running Errands
Hey, some days you just don’t make it to the gym. And that is okay sister! That is where Athleta comes in. You are going to love their lines for travel days and your commute for clothing that can withstand a work out if you want, but are still stylish if you don’t have a workout planned. I especially love their joggers for running around throughout the day.
No matter what you wear, or what work out is your jam, finding a way to get moving is a key part of any day. Having that movement will help clear your head and keep you motivated for those to do lists that dictate so much of our day. Now you can just look great while you move. That never hurts either 😉
