Ever since I had my second child almost two years ago, I have spent more and more time at the gym than ever before. Noooo, not because I think I'll get Jillian abs ('cause we all know that's never going to happen.)
I go so I can get a BREAK from my precious kids. They, in turn, get a break from me, but they also get a chance to play with other kids and toys in an atmosphere I just can't provide at home.
It's a win-win, right?
Totally.
But, spending 3 to 4 days a week at the gym calls for a decent workout wardrobe as well. (Well, it doesn't have to, but with all that effort, a girl's got to look cute, right?) Now, I didn't want to spend too much money on an entire collection, but I did want some quality pieces to workout in that will last past next Tuesday.
I used to shop at Target for my workout clothes, but I have sort of outgrown my love for the Champion brand. I am tending more towards a better fit in my clothes than just a fitted t-shirt and shorts I used to buy. In recent months, I've had a lot of success at Old Navy.
In my mind, the classic staple to all workout gear is the yoga pant. The pant that works the best for me is this pant from Old Navy. The material is thick enough not to show every nook and cranny in the rear section, but light enough to workout in without too much extra weight holding you back.
Also, they have these awesome razorback tanks that have ballet leotards bras built in, so instead of having a majorly attractive uni-boob, there is a gather in the middle to display your ladies as individuals. MUCH more comfortable and quite attractive to boot!
What's your staple at the gym? Anything you'd like to add that makes you feel spot on?
