I recently wrote about my relationship with exercise and fitness. I assume I’m not alone in admitting that finding the motivation to start exercising is sometimes the most difficult step. Most days I play the new mom card, but I’d be kidding myself if that was my only excuse. Aside from chasing after a very active toddler, I definitely find myself yearning to be back in shape. In the meantime, here’s a list of exercise gear that’s cute enough to service as motivation!

Workout-Gear

1) Chic Sports Bra – Whether it has a fun pattern or unique strap configuration, a chic sports bra always makes workout wear a little more fun. I love this one for its delicately crisscrossed straps, which allows more movement, and its corset-inspired cropped design. It offers plenty of support for us small chested women, but also includes removable cups for extra support and coverage.

2) Tie-Back Workout Tank – I love this relaxed tie-back tank by GapFit. Its open back is refreshing while not revealing too much skin.

3) Spandex Top – Old Navy is my go to shop for spandex sports top for their variety of styles and color. Not to mention they are considerably less expensive than many other options, which means you can stock up on lots!

4) Vibrant leggings – A good pair of leggings are a staple in any workout wear capsule. The tight spandex of this pair keeps your legs looking tight while not being too tight around the waist. The keyhole detail around the ankle seam looks a little like a tear from afar, but up close is an adorable detail that I love.

5) Neon Pop Running Shorts – I love the added attention to detail that Brooks incorporates into their running gear. These shorts not only offer comfort and quality, but they have two hidden pockets in the waistband to store your phone and key/cards. The pocket designed for your phone fits an iPhone 6 and is sweat-resistant.

6) Boho Headband – I’ve tried a number of headbands and have always had a hard time finding one that didn’t slip down during a workout. This one is phenomenal and I could not praise it more. The elastic is tight enough that it stays put even after multiple uses and it keeps sweat from dripping into my eyes even on extremely hot days.

7) Fitbit – I have been a long time fan of Fitbit. I started with the Fitbit One and now wear a Fitbit Charge wristband. As much as cute workout wear can serve as motivation, nothing is quite a rewarding as tracking your fitness progress.
