New Year Workout Wear

New Year Workout Wear

For those of us who made New Year’s resolutions—whether it was to put more effort into your exercise, eat more greens (and less sugar), or just to get out and enjoy that fresh air more, instigating new habits can feel like an uphill battle.

The one thing that helps with actually keeping those resolutions, even when it’s chilly out and another hour in bed sounds like the best idea in the world? Fabulous new exercise attire that both functions and flatters.

From a sleek, insulated layer for your morning sprint, right down to the trainers that will ensure you start the New Year off on the right foot, we’ve got the sweat-it-out kit that your workout wardrobe needs.

After all, if you’re going to fight through the masses of people working on their new regime at the gym, you might as well do it in style, right? Repeat after us: I promise they will be put to good use – at least for January, anyway…

Often we don’t realise just how sedentary life can be, so a motivational reminder from the Fitbit Flex can give us the nudge we need to get up and move more.

It’s recommended that we take 10,000 steps every day, and you’ll feel so much healthier and complete if you do! Fitbit can also monitor your sleep to ensure you’re getting enough shut-eye, and the subtle style means you’ll hardly even notice it on your wrist. It’s an essential everyday gadget.
