Workout Essentials That’ll Inspire You to Go to the Gym

Whether or not you already make healthy living a priority, it’s still pretty easy to hit the snooze button on winter workouts. Making a New Year’s resolution is a great way to get yourself to the gym, but we have an even better way of making you want to get that exercise in: Brand new workout gear. To help you start off your year looking and feeling amazing, we’ve put together the cutest head-to-toe pieces that will really inspire you to actually hit the treadmill!

Leggings

If wearing these pants will help us to look like Fabletics co-founder Kate Hudson, then we’ll take one in every color! These Salar Capri leggings ($39.95) come in eleven fun prints and colors, like this bright pink pattern that’s both girly and sporty. With four-way stretch technology and moisture-wicking material, they’re so comfortable we may never take these off!

Sports bra

Business in the front, party in the back. This lululemon Energy Bra ($48) features a supportive front with an intertwined, intricate back. The sweat-wicking material is ideal for every workout, from a yoga class to a long-distance run. Removable cups ensure a perfect fit for everyone.

Jacket

The Nike Fearless and Bold Fleece ($100) will help you become just that. The dropped armholes and slim fit provide for excellent range of motion and a flattering fit for every body type. We also love the loose neck—it makes room for layering when you need it; and when you don’t, it drapes in a casual-chic way. Dri-FIT French terry fabric remains soft throughout the workout while keeping you dry and smell-free.

Sneakers

With countless sneakers available everywhere you turn, choosing the kind that’s right for you can become a challenge. Try a versatile crosstrainer like the Nike Free 5.0 TR Fit 4 Print ($110). The lightweight, flexible shoe will accommodate your feet during all athletic activities—and the subtle print adds a touch of personality without being too loud.

Top

This beautiful and delicate Hidden Agenda Tank ($44.99) comes with a built-in bra and is perfect for yoga or studio classes. With great support combined with a flattering and breezy outer layer, you’ll be out of excuses and forced to strut your stuff at the gym!

All five of these stylish activewear options are a far cry from your standard cut-up college tee and mesh shorts—not only will the high-tech fabrics feel great during any workout, you’ll also look good, too!
