My Fitness Motivation

by

I’m finally feeling like I am in a good workout stride after years of being off track. I joined a gym a year ago for the first time in forever. My gym teaches the Les Mills exercise programs and I’m totally obsessed with them! Doing the same workout bores me and I need to be having fun, otherwise I’ll stop going. So right now my favorite class is Body Combat which is inspired by mixed martial arts and draws from a wide array of disciplines such as karate, boxing and taekwondo. It’s super hard, fun and a great stress reliever! Since they are always releasing new classes it never gets boring which keeps me going back!

Another motivating factor is keeping a fresh workout wardrobe. Since I work from home, there are lots of days when I put my gym clothes on in the morning even though my classes are not til the evenings. I’ll work and run errands in them and then head to the gym. I don’t want to wear faded old t-shirts and old sweats, I want to look presentable even though it’s just to the grocery store and the gym!

Cute workout gear: Cobalt Leggings, Top With Thumbholes, Hairbands, Nike Running Shoes, Sports Bra, Headphones

I usually wear black bottoms but that gets boring, so I recently decided to try out, Albion Fit. They have some really cute options in fun colors! There stuff is so comfy that I’ve found my self throwing it on even when I’m not heading to the gym. They actually have a bunch of items that work as normal clothes AND they have swimwear!

I’ve been putting my hair up with Haybands hair ties and headbands, this is a local New Orleans company! And when I use headphones, Sol Republic’s Relays are great! They come with a clip so they don’t flap around and are designed to stay in while working out.

I have always been a Puma and Converse person for tennis shoes, but those were  just not right for the gym so I finally got a good pair of shoes that I love for working out! I spent way to much time researching them and finding a good deal, so I have included some of my faves below.

I received free goods as compensation for this post however all opinions are my own.

    I like the Tuxedo swimming top and the unwind top. I also like everything else they have.

    I love the G long crew with thumb holes in Jade. I looks so comfy for those workouts.

    I really love the Go Long Leggings in Cobalt because that’s my favorite color and sports leggings are the most comfortable thing to wear to the gym!

    Just perused the Albion fit site– had to order some cute ruffle leggings… But I’d live to go back for the Antigua swimsuit! Perfection!

  20. Katrina says

    I’ve loved the “Show Stopper” swimsuit for a long time, but you can’t go wrong with the Go Long tees and the Alpine Funnel Jacket!
    Albion’s products are great quality and I have really loved the pieces that I already purchased!

    I think my favorite item from Albion would be the petal sports bra in coral. The ruffles add such a cute feminine touch!

    The signature hoodie in crimson looks like exactly what I’ve been after for chilly evenings and windy days
