Fitness Fashion

At the beginning of the year I wrote about my one little word, accomplish. One of the things I wanted to accomplish was establishing a more consistent workout routine. I’ve had a lot of starts and stops over the past few years and have been working hard to get consistent. One of the fun things I’ve been doing as part of my year of accomplishments is trying out some fun workout classes. So far I’ve tried out some kickboxing and Barre classes but I can’t wait to try more. The city I live in has a TON of different types of classes so I fully intend to try them all. What I am lacking in is cute workout clothes. I’m used to working out at home where nobody sees me so I definitely need to step up my outfits. I found a few things to keep me motivated for the next few weeks!

No Pain No Champagne ($16.99)

This is me in a tee! I am just doing this for the champagne, don’t let me fool you!

Zella Live In High Waist Pocket 7/8 Leggings ($59)

I am obsessed with Zella leggings, but these new ones are even better because they have pockets. Finally a place to put my phone instead of trying to stick it in my sports bra.

Heels Off Gloves On ($15.99)

This would be perfect for kickboxing…and it matches my pink boxing gloves!

Barre Socks ($12.99)

You need to wear special grippy socks for Barre classes and I loved these ombre ones.

Barre Hoppin‘ ($24.99)

I thought this shirt was cute for Barre class too.

Champion Spot Comfort® Sports Bra ($36.99)

I am in desperate need of some new sports bras. The girls are flying all over the place! What I discovered is that you have to search for “High-Impact Sports Bras” if you are doing cardio. Your walking sports bras are probably low or medium intensity and are not meant to secure the ladies when you are jumping around. This is next on my test list, but I would love to hear more of your recommendations!

Workin’ on My Fitness ($14.98)

If there’s one thing you should know about me, it’s that I LOVE a graphic tee! Literally the one thing I can’t resist! Fabletics has some cute ones.

Nike Cortez Sneakers ($69.95)

So we know Meghan Markle is a fan of the Cortez shoes which means I need a pair! Meghan has the red logo ones, but I decided on the black ones instead.

Rise and Slay ($14.98)

Any self-respecting Buffy the Vampire Slayer fan needs this one…if only it came with Giles as your personal trainer.

I Don’t Sweat, I Sparkle Gym Towel ($9.31)

These classes kick my butt and I sweat a ton, so a sweat towel is necessary…especially in a barre or yoga class where you can’t have a slippery mat. Who knew that Etsy was the place to go for really cute gym towels?!

I would love to hear more tips on how you stay motivated to go to the gym and if you have any favorite workout gear. Let me know in the comments.

30-Day June Arms Challenge

Summer is almost upon us. This means time to break out the tanks, sleeveless dresses, halter tops and anything else you haven’t started wearing yet. The one thing that these items have in common is that they show off your arms.

This summer I am going to challenge myself (and you) to whip our arms into shape so we can enjoy our summer wardrobe and show off our guns.

Since today is the first of the month, I figured it would be a great time to start this challenge. I have my birthday, a trip to New York and a wedding planned for July so it would be great to be able to flaunt my toned arms in my summer clothes.

I found this great calendar on Pinterest with a pretty simple challenge for each day of the month. You can click here to access a larger version.

30-Day Arms Challenge

30-Day Arms Challenge

I have taken my arm measurements today and will keep track of my results with periodic updates throughout the month. Hopefully, this will yield some great results by July!

Who’s going to take the challenge with me?
