What I’d wear…to the gym

April 14, 2010

In honor of me hitting the gym a few times recently (*gasp* what is my husband doing to me?), I put together a little guide of useful and fashionable active wear.   I am totally fine going in an old t-shirt and exercise pants, but if I wanted some sensibly priced and fashionable options, I’m glad I found some below!

Comfort, style, and an iPod pocket – score.

All in the Body Rock Sports bra

Ooh but for those that don’t want to rock just a sports bra (me included, not everyone is allowed to see my tummy now), I found some great options from Alo, like the one below for $24.

I love how some workout tops can actually be worn as “regular” clothes – seriously double duty clothing rocks.  Hey, it’s always nice to have options besides my h.s. musical t-shirt (seriously I was in h.s. a long time ago) when the laundry is piling up.

Workout pants can be pricey, but Overstock has a pretty decent selection under “Loungewear”.
I’d definitely get these Calvin Klein rollover pants and they’re one of the best deals I could find at $27.

Found here

How cute are the stripes on these socks?  They will also inevitably differentiate between my socks and my husband’s socks.

$5.80 here

There are just too many sneakers to choose from, but if I had to have only one pair of sneakers/trainers, they would be cross trainers or running shoes.  They are great at absorbing impact from a variety of physical activities and are readily available.
I like Amazon‘s large selection and consistently good prices.  These Adidas are simple and classic.

 Found for $44.99 here  Darn, I wish I found these before I moved.

Nothing is grosser than smelly gym shoes.  Keep them dry and smelling fresh with Stuffits.  Alternatively, Gold Bond or a talcum powder is always great too!

Stuffitts at $24.95

    i wear the grodiest tshirts and sweats that i’ve owned for millenia.

    i always PLAN to buy workout clothes. but then don’t wanna slap down the cash for something i’m just gonna sweat all over.

    This is precisely why I workout in the privacy of my own home – my gym clothes most definitely don’t need to be seen by anyone other than my family. And, you know, I don’t want to sweat in front of cute boys either. But if I had that cute Alo top…well, maybe then I’d give it a whirl!! 🙂

    Haha, I still wear some of my workout clothes from when I was on my high school’s swim team – it’s so sad! I love that top – very cute! I
