Start the new year off with new workout clothes!

By kristen, 4 January, 2010, 2 Comments

Well, the holidays are officially behind us. I welcome the new year and have begun to get in the mode of working off the excessive cookie calories from this season of indulgence! It’s sometimes hard to find the motivation to get back on the workout bandwagon (if you’ve fallen off, that is)! Well, I’m here to help you to get motivated by what I like best…work out clothes, of course!

Whether you enjoy cardio, strength training, yoga, skiing or biking–there are plenty of fashionable pieces that will keep you inspired to stay fit. If you’re like me, there are some pieces you would NEVER wear outside of your home gym. If you need motivation to go to your gym, here are some pieces by Athleta.com that you’ll want to show off !

athleta sierra nevadaMake your entrance to the gym in this  tattoo-inspired Sierra Nevada top . It’s on sale right now until January 5th for $39.99. You can wear this over a jog bra or a tank top, or cover up with it post-workout. You have to see the back of the top–too cute!

Pair this with a cute pair of workout/yoga pants like these Streamline pants athleta streamline pantsand you have yourself an outfit that will take you through many different types of workouts! The price is fair at $56, but these will be your “go to” pants for many types of workouts.

 

 

hitch skirt capriIf you’re tired of wearing workout pants, check out this clever idea: the Hitch skirt/capri combo.   It’s one piece that cleverly combines a little skirt over a pair of capris. This will not only cover up your bootie, it is a feminine look for the gym, rather than plain pants. It comes in many colors, so choose a couple of them for different looks.  I’d pair one of the patterned skirts with this Bra Cup Vee Neck tank in a coordinating color.

Many of these items are on sale right now on Athleta.com, so don’t waste time! There are so many other nice pieces on this site, you’ll have a hard time choosing!

If you’re outfitted in cute workout pieces, you’ll find the strength to push on and finish that workout! If nothing else, you have a cute outfit to wear for your Saturday am latte run.

Find your exercise motivation through clothes–we always do ;)

 Happy workout!
