Our Favorite Gym Wardrobe Items
As the end of the year approaches, now is the time that we often set “new year, new me,” goals. This year we’re getting ahead of the New Year’s resolution trend and starting to set our intentions earlier this year. One of those, like most of you out there, is to be more active and be our best selves physically. With that comes new gym memberships, running apps on our iPhones and of course new gym wear.
That’s the best part of all isn’t it? Nothing gets us more motivated to workout then new leggings, sports bras and running shoes. We like to shop for our gym attire according to the softest materials, the most durable fabrics and the items that are going to really help push our performance whether it’s at the gym, the track or even our Peloton. We rounded up a few of our must-haves for all things gym related that will have you covered for that get-fit New Year’s resolution.
The Legging
When it comes to a good workout legging, we want a no-slip legging, preferably with a pocket option for our cell phone and a high-waist grip to really cinch that waist. This Under Armour Women’s HeatGear Leggings are just what we had in mind. Available in nine different colors, this legging features a high-waist fit, pocket on the side of the leg and HeatGear fabric that keeps you dry and sweat-free. This legging is also a top choice because it stretches in all directions which makes it a great choice for any active activity.
The Sports Bra
When it comes to sports bras, we want more than just the standard supportive bra. We desire comfort and style, because after all a good sports bra is a good investment. We love this Natori Yogi Women’s Convertible Sports Bra for its wide band, its comfortable fit and extremely adjustable straps. This sports bra is great for all chest sizes but especially for those of you who wear larger cups because this bra ensures no top spillage or skin bulging in all the wrong places. We also like this item because you have the option to criss-cross the straps for extra support.
The Active Shoe
These ON Running Women’s Cloud Sneakers are our top-pick for gym shoes this year. These sneakers aren’t only made for running only, but are great for anyone who spends a lot of time on their feet in or out of the gym. These shoes are extremely lightweight, have a cloud like foam sole and are a snug fit so we suggest sizing 1⁄2 a size up. These shoes are also great if you’re someone who needs good arch support.
The Gym Bag
If you’re like us then you’re most likely an on-the-go woman which means we need to have a gym bag that’s packed and ready to go with all of our gym gear. The ideal bag for us is this Nike One Luxe Women’s Training Bag. This bag comes with an additional gym clutch and a shoe/laundry bag, a laptop pocket sleeve and even a vertical sleeve for a hair curler or straightener. There’s even enough space in this bag to hold your yoga mat in addition to your gym clothes, water bottle and sneakers. Nike really thought of everything when they made this bag and it comes in three chic colors including pink, black and army green.
The Water Bottle
It’s crucial to stay hydrated for your gym sesh, but we still want to be cute, right? This Half Gallon Water Bottle With Sleeve from Fimibuke holds 64 oz of water, has a spill proof top, insulated storage sleeve and comes complete with its own carrying strap. There’s even pockets on the side of the sleeve for your credit cards, keys and cell phone. This is a great alternative option if you’re more of a light packer when it comes to the gym and the gym bag route isn’t for you.
