From Street to Gym: Gym Clothes You Can Wear Out

in Fashion, Shopping on 09/14/15

Gym and Workout Clothes You can Wear Out

Staying fit has always been a struggle for me. I want to be in good shape, and I want to exercise, but it’s so easy to fall off the wagon. When I commit to working out, then it’s all good and I can be consistent with exercising every day. But on those days where I just don’t feel up to it, even working out for half an hour becomes a struggle, especially when I don’t have the energy to do it. I mentioned this to a friend of mine recently and she mentioned how she has been feeling the same and suggested that using a pre-workout supplement can help a lot boost my energy levels before exercising. I never really thought about this as an option, but I might actually look into it. I want to be the person who’s fit and healthy, so maybe this could be the turning point in actually getting into better shape.

I used to have a friend who took their gym routine extremely seriously, and by this I mean they were down the gym most days and even took cardarine to build more muscle (check out the sarms.io cardarine guide to find out more about this) so he was a massive help to keep me motivated and going to the gym. Unfortunately, he moved away for a job and I saw my fitness take a nosedive!

Over the last few years, I’ve taken a much greater interest in fitness and nutrition. I’ve successfully completed several races, including two 10K runs. The adrenaline rush you get after any race is indescribable and it makes you want to train harder and run more. So…what’s my problem?

My issue has always been consistency. I find that I’ll have a few really good months, where I’ll workout regularly and see improvement in my strength and speed. Then, something will come up in life – I’ll get busy with work, school, etc and put fitness on the back burner. Once I realize that it’s been a while since my last workout, I start feeling discouraged and unmotivated. It’s so frustrating to feel like you’re starting from scratch, especially when you physically can’t do something you used to be able to do.

The only real way to overcome these feelings is to literally get back on the horse. Just go for a run and suck it up. Yes, the time will be slower. Yes, the distance with be shorter. Deal with it.

Of course, my fitness friend was helpful but the best way I know how to seek motivation is through cute clothes and accessories. There is so much out there, but you need to look properly to find the cute pieces! Things like gym wear at Anax Fitness will also help get you started! For now, though, have a look through what I have been finding recently.

It’s sad, but true! While I work on my new fitness plan, I wanted to share some cute workout gear that’s caught my eye recently. All of these pieces are gym clothes you can wear out. Win, win!

    Clothes are always a big motivator for me, but something else I like to do is switch it up and find something new to do. Some days, that’s just turning up the jams and busting a move or two, which isn’t always pretty! Ha. Love your picks, so cute!

    Now that summer is winding down, it’s a great time to get back on the work out wagon. It’s definitely easier to work out when you have cute work out clothes.

    I’m not much of a work-out gal, either! I was once gym obsessed back in high school and early college. But now it’s more about time. There are things I’d much rather be doing than jogging in place!

    Seriously though, cute workout clothes gives me the motivation to go to the gym or do some workout. Sometime about it being new and feeling good in it gives that push to want to do good for your body. I love your picks Jackie!

2020 has without a doubt been a year we will all r 2020 has without a doubt been a year we will all remember. It’s been a big rollercoaster, but there’s no one else I’d rather ride it with than @woodley.matt 🥰

We’ve endured so.many.challenges this year...but we’ve also had some of the best and most exciting moments of our lives this year.

I still can’t believe we bought a house, got engaged AND got a puppy this year (all within a month)! 🤯

Nobody knows what 2021 will bring, but what we do know is, it will start the same way 2020 ended: at home.

I also know we will finally be finishing and moving into our new home in early 2021, and I CANNOT WAIT!! As for wedding plans...ehh, it’s a little tricky to plan these days, so we’ll cross that bridge a little later 😜 

Wishing you all a safe and happy new year at home! 🥳 (which I’m totally okay with - I’m a 👵🏻 anyways)

I picked up knitting needles for the first time in 10+ years (maybe more?!) at the start of the pandemic. I bought a DIY unicorn kit and it took me months before I got around to finishing it. Still, I enjoyed it. 

So, this year, I thought it would be fun to knit up a few gifts for Christmas presents. 

My next project? I’m going to attempt to knit myself a cardigan. 🤭😲🤗

Christmas 2020 - like many things this year, not “normal,” but we made plenty of memories. 

We had a low-key Christmas morning, filled with Bailey’s coffee, Miller snuggles (and weird facial expressions) and cinnamon buns. We finished off the day with a Jewish Christmas dinner: Chinese take out!

I’m finishing up the last of the gifting projects and then it’s onto baking cookies! 💁🏼‍♀️

I *think* I know what I’ll be baking...but I’m having a tough time committing 🤪

Happy thanksgiving!! 🍂🍁 Even though it hasn Happy thanksgiving!! 🍂🍁

Even though it hasn’t been a “normal” Thanksgiving weekend, there is so much to be thankful for. 

One (very) small thing I’m thankful for is that I took Matt’s advice on forgoing my usual butter-only pie crust recipe for one that includes shortening. I used the pumpkin pie recipe from @sallysbakeblog - including the mix of shortening and butter in the crust. I think it was my best pumpkin pie yet! 
(The Turkey was fantastic too of course 😏)
