Workout Wear

 Happy Monday gals! I exercise nearly every single day, therefore I wear workout clothes a lot and yet I rarely share about these necessities in my wardrobe. 

I focus primarily on function when it comes to these pieces as I do a lot of high intensity movements and I want lots of support and a very good snug fit that keeps me cool and moving easy. But I do still want them to look good too.

I don't have a big variety when it comes to my workout wear. I wear the same tops in many colors/prints, leggings, shorts and tennis skirts. Sports bras is where I do have a big mix. I buy them when I find one that can do the job and that's often at random retailers. 

Note: I ONLY wear workout clothing while actually exercising. Never ever outside the gym or running/walking. Never. 

Note: These pieces are an investment and one I value due to function and frequency of wear. I wash them on delicate and air dry!

Here are the pieces I workout in ...

Tank Top

I have this is so many colors! 

Very light & cool

I wear a size 0 or 2

Training Tank

This one is cropped so I size up to a 4 for length.

It's modern, cool and super easy to move in

High Rise Tight

these are the ONLY ones I wear

I wear a size 2 and can run, jump and do all the moves easily

Shorts

I wear these mostly in the summer for running & outdoor exercise

I size up to a 4 or 6

Skirt

I absolutely love wearing these in the warmer months

A very feminine look when being athletic

I like the longer length and size up to a 6

I wear this classic skirt too

High Impact Bra

I like this one for support & sizing

Socks

These are an investment but the only socks I wear

I have painful arthritic feet so these are necessary 

Running Shoe

I've been running in this shoe for 20 years!

It is the BEST

Exercise Shoe

I wear these at the gym and outside.

I do all forms of exercise in these.

Mat

I just upgraded my very very old mat to this one and love it.

I use a mat daily.

Friday Favorites: Workout Wear

 TGIF! Gals, we are  currently at the beach with my sister & niece for our first mother-daughter vacation! Squeal! I'm so excited for our little girls and to spend time away with my sissy. We realized we haven't traveled together since we were kids living at home.  The little cousins are having the time of their lives for their first hotel stay and playing on the beach together.

It's going to be the BEST 4 days!!!

Earlier this week I was asked by some of my gym friends about my workout wear.  I don't share too much about fitness or what I wear which is interesting because I workout and wear them every. single. day.! Fitness is one of the biggest priorities in my life and has been for decades.

I guess I don't share often because I ONLY wear these pieces while exercising (so they're a matter of function) and I don't wear a huge variety. I find pieces that fit and perform and buy in multiples. 

I also invest in high quality because of the frequent wear, intense activity and the need for them to last for years. I always line dry them and wash on delicate with like pieces.

Here are my favorite pieces to work out in ...

Tank Top

Sleeveless Top

Sports Bra

Legging

Shorts

Running Shoes

I've been wearing this shoe since I was 19 for all my running.

I've even run a few half marathons!

Socks

I've been wearing these for over 10 years

Pricey but amazing especially since I have horrible feet!

Running Shoes

I just started wearing these a couple weeks ago and completely understand the hype!

They're amazing!!!

I encourage you to make exercising a priority in your life. Out of gratitude for our bodies and lives it's important to take care of them. It gives you the ability to conquer each day with extra energy.

Though I do not look the way I'd want to, I have earned my body.

It is strong, fast and capable regardless of the size or number on the scale!
