My Workout Essentials
The first part of implementing working out into your routine is acquiring the workout lifestyle essentials.
My favorite sneakers for working out are my Nike roshes. These are the comfiest, cutest running shoes for feeling and looking great during your work out. I love wearing these for anything I'm doing at the gym, from the treadmill to floor exercises. I love the pale blue/gray color, but there tons of other cute options in this style sneaker.
My favorite leggings, in general, but also for working out, are lulu lemon leggings.This pair is my current fave. The fit is flexible and light weight, but still tight and trendy. The mesh patterns make for a chic pair of leggings that look good for when you want to go straight to the gym after class. I'm also really about high waisted leggings. High waisted leggings are more comfortable for me, and pair really well with more cropped work out tops. We're in a day and age where good leggings are more pricey, but these are totally worth the splurge.
Another fave from Lulu, a lulu lemon sports bra. A comfy, supportive bra is vital to a workout. I love mine from Lulu Lemon. It's breathable, supportive, and comfortable. Although, for a sports bra, it is on the splurge side.
Check out Aerie's awesome selection for affordable, cute sports bras if you're looking for that. I have a super adorable hot pink, lace sports bra from Aerie, but unfortunately I got it years ago and they don't sell the exact one anymore. Although, their current selection is stellar.
Another option for workout bottoms are shorts. I typically workout in leggings, but it's getting warmer out, so my go-to workout shorts are these adidas shorts. They are the most comfortable shorts, and also as chic as you can get for the gym or chilling out. I wear these all the time. Adidas is an athleisure staple, and who doesn't love the classic black with white stripes?
That's a wrap on my workout essentials! Comment your fave things you couldn't workout without, and tag @livcaffeinated on Insta in all your workout posts so we can see how you work it. XOXO.
