Motivation can be hard to come by when including exercise in your everyday routine, especially in the morning. Working out always sounds like a good idea, but then you look at your alarm clock and decide to sleep in for an extra hour.
One thing I have noticed is that fitness clothes have become more fun to wear. Neon sneakers and funky workout pants have really spiced up my closet. I love that I can have a great workout, but look great. Fitness clothes can be affordable; you just have to know where to look. If you have great workout clothes, motivation won’t be a problem in getting up and hitting the gym before class!
When it comes to workout clothes, paying more is usually better. Target and WalMart have really cheap workout clothes, but they usually aren’t the best quality. You’ll usually be stuck with really thin material and it won’t typically last long.
Here are 3 suggestions on where to shop for your favorite gym outfits:
Look Human
If you’re looking for quirky racerback tank tops with fantastic quotes on them, this is the place to look. These shirts range from $24-$30 per shirt which seems like a lot, but I have personally owned one of these and I think they’re great quality. Workout clothes should be something that says a lot about your personality. They should also give you confidence because that can spark motivation if you have found it to be lacking. Look Human has shirts for both men and women and if you’re looking for something new to wear, I recommend checking this site out first.
GapFit
The Gap is a great place to shop when it comes to workout clothes. Gap is expensive, but you’re paying for quality. All of my workout pants come from the Gap and I have had them for years. GapFit clothes are so breathable and even when I sweat majorly, the clothes don’t weigh me down. Each tank top comes in a variety of different colors to mix and match. The clothes are divided by type of activity, so if you’re a yogi or a runner, there’s something for everyone. GapFit also has a line for men as well.
T.J. Maxx
This is probably the cheapest option when it comes to clothes, with shirts ranging from as cheap as $10-$12. T.J. Maxx is great for someone who is on a budget because this is cheaper than the other stores listed above. I personally haven’t bought anything from T.J. Maxx for fitness, but I have friends who recommend this store. The closest store is in La Crosse, so if you need a break from studying take a drive and check this place out!
Motivation can be hard to find, but getting new fitness clothes can help. They don’t have to be expensive, but they also shouldn’t be cheap quality. These clothes should be comfortable to move in and sweat in, and they’re worth the price to upgrade your clothes. So flaunt your style and have a great workout because I guarantee your motivation will skyrocket after a little shopping!
